    We would have tanked each of those Play-ins, bc we liked the 14th pick too much.

    but this time, we take Kashi instead of Morris

    We would have lasted about as long as it takes for a money shot at a D Watson massage session.

    LeBron's teams would have always been the 1 or 2 seed during those particular years - I think he'd welcome the idea of a play-in tourney, as his opponents would always be more tired.

    2010-11: I remember the Grizzlies having Rockets number these years, so probably do not beat them. I could see beating Sun in 11 but not Spurs in 10 because that team upset the Mavs.

    2012: If K. Martin was healthy and on, I could see them sneaking into the 8th seed but probably swept in the 1st round.

    lose the play-in tournament each year, and if we somehow did sneak into the playoffs, get absolutely washed and obliterated in the 1st round

    As far as our incredibly volatile 3 point shooting took us.
