The Official NBA Season Thread

I like the play-in. Make the hottest teams among the 7-10 seeds get in.

Imagine the slander if Jokic bows out to the 10th seed
 
So now there's too much basketball? Lol
It’s all a money play. Mid-season tournament is for TV ratings. Seven game first round play off series are for more tv ratings and venue revenue. As much as we want to make it about competition, it’s about money.

I don’t have an issue with the play in. The ending of the season is more exciting and unpredictable. Which leads to interest.
 
Do we like the idea of the higher seeds picking their first round opponents?

It should be determined by lottery balls. But if the team picked by the higher seed disagrees they should be able to shoot a do-or-die half court shot to eliminate themselves from playing said higher seed.
 
We need a play-out. For those teams that were just a little too good this season but still want a lottery ball. Why shouldn't the Bucks be able to acquire Wemby just because they have Giannis? It's not their fault they're running a competent organization. Playoff teams should be able to challenge non-playoff teams. Winner gets the pick, loser gets the higher seeding.

Also, add the top two teams of the reg season to the lottery. Incentivize winning!
