Dude not even mad we don't hang blank banners but I knew I was right about Ingram, they should ship Kuzma for anything though

We got 17 now, I think the play in will be good, but I will be honest I miss "the kids" outside of the lesser Ball, the one playing for MJ can do more than play defense

I look at some of these scores from the past couple weeks and there's
132-124
133-112
152-95
154-141
133-126
133-132

What happened did teams quit playing defense?

Both The Bulls and Raptors look like they aren't going to make it. If the Wizards hold their position I hope Bradley Beal is at least healthy.

I wasn't expecting anything from the Raptors this year. We are in 12th place now and the Bulls in 11th. I guess golf season will start early this year for our teams.. :lol:

The Knicks and Suns have been a surprise this year...doing better than I expected.

The owner of the Atlanta Hawks is married to Jami Gertz, the actress from some of those great 80's movies like The Lost Boys, Less Than Zero, Crossroads. Anyway supposedly
she has a big part in everything the team does whether it's signing a free agent or a draft pick. Trae Young is great but I wouldn't put him on the level of D-Rose before all the injuries.

Well, that's a wrap for the Raptors this year. :wavesad: Hopefully, next season the team will be back in Toronto.

So, in the east 7th&8th place are TBD and in the west, 6,7,8.

I had to look up how the "play-in tournament" works:

What is the play-in tournament?

The NBA will determine the play-in and playoff standings which teams have earned the highest winning percentages in each conference. The seventh and eighth seeds in each conference need one game win and the ninth and tenth seeded teams of both conferences have to win two consecutive games to clinch the playoff birth.

When is the 2021 NBA’s play-in tournament?

The 2021 NBA play-in tournament is scheduled on Tuesday, May 18, and ends on Friday, May 21, running two days after the regular season ends.

How does the 2021 NBA play-in tournament format work?

The top 1-6 NBA teams in each conference that finish with the highest winning percentages in the regular season games will directly earn the playoff spot. And 7-10th No. teams in each conference need to stay for the play-in to earn the playoff spot.

The 7th spot team by winning percentage in each conference will host the 8th seed and the winner will earn the No. 7 seed in the playoffs and the losing team will have another opportunity again against the winner of the 9th vs 10th seed team.

The 9th spot team by winning percentage in each conference will host the 10th seed. The losing team will be eliminated and the winner has to play for game 3 against the loser of the 7th vs 8th spot.

The loser of the 7th spot vs 8th spot will play game 3 against the winner of the 9th spot vs 10th spot team of both conferences and the losing team will out from playoffs race and enters the lottery. The 9th/10th spot team needs to win two straight games to earn the postseason.

It means the losing team from the 7th vs 8th matchup of both conferences will not eliminate directly from the playoffs race. The winner of the 7th vs 8th will clinch the No. 7 seed in the playoffs and the loser of the 7th/8th team vs the winner of the 9th/10th team will earn the No. 8 seed in the playoffs.

Now that that's over....the play in is fucking bullshit...they played enough games this year to not need to do it...but they wanted extra cheddar and they got it...even though I like the griz more, I still hope GS wins...because they are the 8 and earned it already in my book

Made me sick knowing season tix holders who can't get in the building yet drake was there...Toronto is done bro...wait till next year

Congrats on the shot, but this was embarrassing.

If this goof was on the team I was a fan of I'd stop watching until he was gone.

Jayson Tatum can score at will, but is he enough to hold The Nets big 3
