    For stats purposes, are these play-in games considered playoffs, regular season or exhibition games?

    My vote would be technically be a regular season game. For TV ratings, ESPN is treating it with playoff or Christmas game importance.

    Based on what I heard from the BS pod it sounds like they're counted as playoff games.

    This Spurs-Grizz game is like watching 90s Knicks-Heat.

    I bet they lose more viewers than they add with this boring lead in and a 9ish pm (cst) start for the interesting game.

    So much for this being a blowout.

    Ja Morant gotta play better, these kind of low seed games usually where players announce themselves to the world but he's been very meh.

    Looks like none of the above.

    Nba.com stats show Playin as a new Season Type filter, added to the others — Preseason, Reg Season, All-star and Playoffs.

    Basketball-Reference doesnt even include them anywhere, yet, for players, but has them in the Team’s game list noted as “Playin Game”

    Not sure what has been worse, the refs in this game or DeRozan's shooting

    I have to give it to Marc Davis...he's consistent...at least you know you're going to get a terribly officiated game when he's out there.

    i'm curious about this as well. I can't find the play-in stats anywhere on basketball reference so far.

    Isn't 5 seconds back to the basket still a rule? Looked like AD did just that.

    Is it somehow possible for both teams to lose this? That'd be good.

    So, I suppose technical fouls dont count towards Playoff limits.

    Just as I say that: JVG just said they are freebies ... nothing counts toward regular season or playoffs

    AD and Lebron crying to the refs for help at quarter time.

    I can't believe I'm saying this but Go Dubs
