All home teams have won so far.  Hopefully that sends the message that the play-in is stupid and a giant waste of time and they eliminate it.
It wasn't a waste of time according to the ratings.

The Play-In has potential but seeeessssh has the games (aside from the Warriors-Lakers) has been bad.
I think most would agree the Celtics game wasn't bad at all

50-burger ofc not. I think that was the best game of all the play-ins.

Lakers/Warriors was trash. Refs rigged it obviously.

The play-in is like fans that go to Nascar hoping to see a crash happen. Everyone expects the good teams to win in the NBA play-in, but they hope beyond hope they get to see the crash.

Well it was the Lakers v. Warriors and the Celtics played night 1.  What happens to the Utah series if the Grizzlies beat the Warriors though.  Or what if the Lakers would have lost both games.  The ratings in the playoffs would have plummeted significantly.

Has nothing to do with $$ apparently.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver on Friday said his personal preference is for the play-in tournament to continue after this season, and that it was a success because of the incentive it gave teams to care until the end of the regular season.

Warriors on the beneficial end of calls a couple times already. What's the word on the refs for this game? Any fun stats around them?

Seriously. Screw the NBA.

SO MANY ridiculous no-calls. Grizz still up though. Draymond gets to dive into people, but Grizz can't look at a player.

Man.

What happened to Justise Winslow? Healthy scratch for Memphis... I didn’t even know he was on their team.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

The Western play-in games have been so much more competitive than the East.

Draymond really choked on that last shot in regulation. A layup and it wasn’t even close...

Looks like Memphis about to receive a gentleman's sweep.

Morant has superstar potential... He did everything tonight.
