It just strengthens how right I am on the subject of the play-in being stupid when it's designed to benefit the team I cheer for directly. At least this year with all the teams in the west likely being a few games 500+, it is a little less offensive to me than usual.

Lockback posted:Play in is cool I personally think having a 9/10 play in game when both teams suck absolute rear end is pretty boring, though not really all that big a deal in the long run. Having a 8/9 play in game for the 8th seed would be better, though the 9/10 play in game should theoretically get less dire when the league inevitably expands to 32 teams.

Last year the west 9/10 was OKC and Pelicans who were both pretty good, and the Bulls/Toronto who were flawed teams but not neccessarily sucking absolute rear end. Chicago almost beat the Heat in the 2nd play in game and the Heat made it to the Finals. This year in the West the 9/10 teams are probably going to be 45+ game winners with cores that won recent championships. The east is worse, but the Bulls will probably be ~.500 team.

The issue with the west is that it has completely removed any tension from the end of the regular season for literally any teams. There is no bubble anymore that people can theoretically fall out of. Can you imagine how interesting it would be if one of the lakers or warriors were going to miss the play in? I just think it ultimately makes the regular season less important rather than more. All it really does is make teams that are bad not completely bottom out.

I think the tension is trying to jockey for seeding. It's much better to be the 7/8 because you only have to win 1 game and not 2, and it's better still to be the 5/6 since you don't have to do the play in, and it's better still to be the 3/4 since you get HCA in the first round, and better still to be the 2 seed since you're going to be playing a 7th seed that just had to fight through a play-in game, and its better still to be the 1 seed since you're playing a team that just had to fight through 2 play in games. There's always been a kind of malaise at the end of the season for some teams, but I assure you those bottom teams are going to be fighting tooth and nail to get as high of seeding as possible.

You trade race to the end of the season bubble drama which really only helps out ESPN talk show segments with the potential for a LeBron vs. Curry single elimination game which would probably be a ratings bonanza And also as mentioned multiple times by Lowe, the play-in has had the desired effect of more teams deciding not to blow it up at the deadline. Yeah you have the example of Dallas last season and this year the 7-10 teams in the west were never going to stop trying, but the play-in has seemed to largely had the overall effect the league wanted and we've got some good extra games out of it WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 17:59 on Mar 14, 2024 |

There's tons of tension. The top four seeds (maybe just top three now depending on Kawhi) jockeying for that top spot and HCA throughout (or even just in the second round). The 5-8 seeds competing to avoid the playin. The 8-10 trying to secure that 8 seed so they don't have to win twice to get in. It rules. And there's still enough games left that one team could go on a run to move up a "tier" that I just described. The play-in rules.

Didn't realize LeBron was about to break this record. https://twitter.com/pablofindsout/status/1768323475859464438 Wouldn't LeBron have already passed the record if Olympic points are counted? Is the record just points scored with clubs? Spacebump fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Mar 14, 2024 |
