I understand what wades and PGs are saying, and tweaking how it's done would be fine by me.

And yet I still can't feel much for a team that had its fate in its own hands. Glad the Wolves took advantage of having their own fate in their own hands last night, overcoming a terrible performance from their star to beat Play-In P and the Clips.

The Hornets had a real nice season, with 43 wins. They could have avoided the play-in if they only had avoided late-season home losses to the Knicks, Pistons and Magic. I wish they had avoided the play-in ... but they didn't play well enough to do so. Hopefully, they will be on their game this week.

In reality it's insane that 16 teams make the playoffs anyway.  Adding four more is just the cherry on top of the insanity sundae.

But that's fine.

Why not have Orlando play Detroit, winner plays Indiana, winner plays Washington, winner plays Knicks, winner plays Charlotte for the right to that 10th spot. The NCAA has conference tournaments, why not the NBA?

Awesome feature about Juan on ESPN leading into the Mavs/Jazz game.

Wonderful story on Juan Toscano-Anderson on ESPN just now. Didn’t realize that Al Attles’ wife was his third grade teacher and encouraged his mom to get him more involved in the game.

This Memphis/Minnesota game is very entertaining.  I didn't realize how good Edwards has become.  He and Morant are in a separate tier for explosiveness rankings.  Edwards has a bit of D-Wade in his game.  Look out for Minnesota next year.  Memphis has a legitimate shot this year.

The calls were correct - the rule is absurd the way it is written.

If you had the under 6.5 minutes until Jimmy pulled out the fake tough guy act in the Playoffs you’re a winner!

Is Miami the best defensive team in the East?  They've apparently "drawn" 112 charges this year.  That's crazy.  It's interesting that no one seems to be talking about them winning it....or winning the East for that matter.  They seem to be a pretty complete team and deep.

He has 11/4/3 on 50% shooting and his team is up 25.  But go off totally unbiased poster

Glad he's having a good game.

What did he do?   I missed it.

I will say that the Butler/Jokic incident was pretty laughable.  Jokic is a tank and would crush Jimmy like an ant.

21/6/4 as his team is rolling.  But a totally sane, not at all irrational poster is focusing on some dumbass narrative he's attached to like Gollum and the ring.

Say what you want about Kyrie but it's insane how skilled an offensive player he is.
