    Since I haven't been paying attention to basketball I didn't know how complicated this play in tournament was.

    hope the Wizards make it to the playoffs

    there’s nothing interesting at all about the Pacers...they just need to go away

    the Hornets have LaMelo, but overall, they don’t have much talent, and they can go through some horrific offensive droughts...if they made the playoffs, they’d get swept by an average of 20 ppg

    the Wizards at least have Beal and Russ

    in the West, San Antonio is a hell no...they’re boring as hell and are just a trash team

    I like Memphis, but GS would make a 1st round series more competitive than they would, and I just want to see some good basketball this playoffs after a season of injuries, load management, Covid protocols, etc which made a lot of the games terrible

    Yea. I have watched them a few times. They are a young athletic group. Eric Gordon would have fun on that team.

    A play in game with the low seeds and someone's getting blown out? Shocking

    Indy is missing a number of guys btw and still blowing them out

    Hornets just doing the usual young team thing where they were not ready for the playoffs. Pacers have a lot of experience and chemistry together.

    Do one of the 9 and 10 seeds have to make it to make this worthwhile? Well, I guess having 20+ teams engaged through the end of the season is the point, but still.

    btw: is the awards voting already in? Or are the voters allowed to use these games?

    “If they can get this under 20… with the 3pt shooting today.”

    LOL Appreciate the sell job (to keep viewers around) Greg Anthony.

    Wasn’t the original point for this season about fairness wrt many games getting ficked up due to COVID protocols.

    None of the 9/10 teams will make it.

    hornets looking as bad as they should and have no business being in a playoff conversation.

    Missed most of the game. Have they shown MJ on the sideline?

    He has to be pissed that has team completely choked down the stretch losing 6 games in a row to fall out of the playoffs.
