Yep.
It's good for the regular season though
I don't agree with a lot of WAS takes on the NBA but I think the play in tournament is not necessary. Granted some teams like the Heat would have given up since they were 37-45 but I just think they have no business getting in the playoffs but they're going to if they win tonight. To me the NBA regular season is long enough to determine the 8 best teams in each conference plus I'm not sure these games other than the Warrior game with the Grizzlies have been all that entertaining. So to me I just don't really care for the play in tournament even though I love basketball.
I agree the 9/10 teams don’t belong. But it does create layers of importance down the stretch
I mean you have a point but I just think it's embarrassing that a 37-45 team has a chance. In any other sport they would have been mathmatically eliminated with about 10 games left. The play in tournament is only good because it somewhat prevents tanking by the teams that still have a chance at the postseason like Miami and Dallas who otherwise would've waived the white flag.
