This year NOP is also a wild card that teams probably don't want to face if Zion comes back (though time is running out for that).Historically, there would have been a lot of years when the play-in wouldn't have mattered, but so far the last 3 years have had at least one interesting play-in team that could wreak havoc for a 1/2 seed, and I've liked this unpredictability.Yeah the play-in was a great addition. It adds a lot of excitement to the final few weeks of a seasonI don’t mind it when there are enough good teams but like last year when the spurs got in that was just pathetic. We almost had a team that didn’t want to make it get in in the east this year (pacers) but they started benching half their time. I would like the rule that Moranis came up with where a team has to be within 3 games or something like that to qualify.

Saw this GIF in relation to Scott Foster refereeing the Lakers v Wolves game. Cackling.
47-42 Cavs at end of 1st quarter. Mitchell has 23 and Brunson has 21. Incredible amount of scoring
Anyone notice the lakers are still the same inconsistent team they have been the last two years? Maybe they come back in second half but they have been losing these must win games for the last couple seasons even when ad and Lebron both play.

Feels like twenty stories out over the past few days of how they're the scariest team in the western conference.
