I get the idea of a play in. But giving a team that has only won 34 of 78 a shot at the playoffs seems silly. Surely the 82 games are enough to determine who should play in the playoffs.
I get it but I still think it’s good for the game. Draymonf pointed out that Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Kyrie and maybe even Zion and other stars or big names will have played in the games since it’s inception. The ratings have been good too. Plus, teams are getting smarter and players are increasing longevity which means a surplus of premium players. The playin could be very competitive going forward.

Damian Jones’s agent has gotta love him saving the best ball of his life for the last 10 games before free agency. Sabonis sitting might also have netted him a big wad of cash
Yeah he's gotta calm down before some team gives him 3/26 or something we can't match.

One of the best routes for improvement I think we can do this off-season is trade Holmes for a similar talent at a different position and try to keep Jones at a reasonable rate to take the back-up C. Yeah he's had a great stretch here at the end of the year, but he's also shown throughout the whole season that he is a good rotational player.

Sure, but if your team is mid level after 82 then it's mid level and maybe wait til next year. That's just me.

also there’s gonna be a 2-4 more team expansion in the near future. I’m not a fan of the play-in but if 4 more teams get added I’ll be fine with it

I didn’t hear her say that so I have no context but it reminded me of a saying I heard for the first time the other day “I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for eating crackers”
Those weren't her exact words, of course, but back when I still listened to The Tony Kornheiser Show, he used to make fun of how Steve Young used to openly solicit for free product when he was doing studio analysis on the air. Young was, according to Kornheiser, notorious for saying "Send me a box of that" if the show was being sponsored by anything he thought he might like (i.e. golf balls). The sidebar that Mark and Kayte were having about CJ McCollum's winery reminded me of that.

1- Surprised Tyrese didn't do this. Or RekeROY for that matter.
2- Tyus Edney did that???
1) The best Tyrese did was 4 straight of 7+ (games 60-63), but then he got held out games 65-72. Davion has done it in games 73-80, so he does have a bit more experience under his belt.

2) Edney had four 10+ games in that stretch and 10 10+ games on the season. Today is only Davion's second 10+ game (of both the stretch and the season) and a career high by...now 6, OK 7.
