NBA play in tournament thread

[fishonjazz]

I'm thinking we come out a bit rusty based on the time off, and it takes a few quarters for us to get the engine revved up to playoff mode, which could be just enough to et another team steal game 1. That's my fear. And I use it to protect myself from high expectations that get dashed and crush my soul. Haha.

I think we win by 20+ in game 1

Honestly watching that play it looked like he tweaked his ankle. Definitely came down awkward on it. No doubt accentuated by his penchant for crying for the refs.

We have been a second-half team all year. It's not going to change much in the playoffs imo.

I think them dodging the Lakers shows a sign of weakness. I know that they're a good team, I just think that were better.

I think we are too actually but not by much...that sliver of margin is small though because of kawhi. They also defend us as well as anyone in the league. I think bogie is the X factor in that series.

Wow Washington destroying Indiana. Ouch. But sabonis has a triple-double.

I expected a Washington win but thought it would be close.
I bet the 76ers are a bit worried about the wizards. They might be more formidable than your typical 8 seed

Everything feels upside down this year. Wouldn't be surprised to see 2 teams seed 5-8 in the finals.

Nah. Embiid is going to steamroll them single-handedly.

So the higher seed has won every single game in this play-in, and this will most likely continue tomorrow. The sum total of these 4 days will be that the playoff bracket will look exactly as it would've had there not been a play-in tournament. What a waste of time.

You know this whole league is about dollars. That time you say was wasted (before seeing the results of tonight’s game) brought in plenty of dollars.
