Look at the east

I understand that we still have time to go but this just isn't right. ATL is trash and they will have an opportunity to get in. Just get back to the top 8 thing.

This was only created that one time during the flu episode.

The West is a bit better but I'm not a fan of this.

NBA only do this to make more money. They're not removing this. The Heat are again a false seed. They rest players every week. They will be fresh for the playoffs and upset the #1 or #2 seed.

Silver wants it that way. Keep terrible teams competing until the end

It’ll be the Baseketball scene where Costas is explaining the postseason in not too long

82 games and ATL is going to play more. Lol joke league.

They should cut back to division winners only plus one wild card.

Well if that's true then you can't really fault them. The goal is to win meaningful games.

I win again

This league is so sad now. They have to add in a early season tournament and now have a playin tournament for the playoffs

If they want anyone to care maybe they should start calling traveling, carrying, or double dribble.

Mediocrity gets rewarded these days, as long as there's a buck involved.

There is no league more deserving of a play-in game as the NBA. Give minimal effort all year while hanging out with your homies after the game, and you can still say you are a playoff team if you win 1 game. More than enough to fill the seats with lemmings.

2 games... if you make the playoffs from 9 or 10 it's by going 2/2.

Load management is a joke.
Most of these guys can't handle two games a week.

MLB last year 95 players played in at least 140 games out of 162.
Ever catch both ends of Sunday July afternoon doubleheader in 98-degree heat with 20 lbs. of gear on?
The fat cats with the eight figure contracts at least play five games a week, every week, for six months plus.
