NBA seems to have hit on something with this whole play in thing. Both games last night were very competitive. Crowd was into the games too. Not bad.

SOLID win for the Wolves

I prefer the traditional 8 seed thing at the conclusion of the regular season.

Yeah I thought they were cooked when Kat fouled out. Their guys stepped up without him because he didn't give them anything last night.

Wolves actually have enough talent to give Memphis a series. I'd rather see them in the playoffs than the Clips.

Patrick is going to pull some bullshit with Morant at some point too.

at the half i didn't think they'd pull it off, seemed like everyone was in foul trouble

Ant really stepped up. The Grizz series is def going to be a lot of fun. I think it goes 6 or 7

NBA Play In Basketball didn't even beat This is Us in the Tuesday night ratings.

Wolves and Memphis is going to be a really fun series. Looking forward to it.

I love the play in concept. A next step for me personally would be letting the One seed chose their opponent for round 1 after the play ins and then the 2 seed select etc. I know it wont happen but it would be great.

I got home right before halftime of the Wolves gamer last night. Fun to watch and a great crowd. Should have pulled the trigger on a Wolves bet at half time.

Atlanta-Charlotte should be a high scoring game. Both have good offenses with rather shitty defenses.

Didn't realize how bad Lamelo Ball is defensively. He stinks as a defensive player. Coby White/Trae Young bad. No resistance whatsoever.

this game is awful....Hornets a team effort at suckage

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

No way Lamelo didn't know the total here. Right after the Hawks let the shot clock run out on their last possession.

The legend of Trae Young continues to grow.

I was skeptical at first, but these games and the atmosphere have made these games really good. To hell with the ratings people.

i like the cavs future (as long as they diminish markannen's and love's minutes)...nothing you can do when young hits 35 foot 3s with 2 on the shot clock. time and again, we've seen it. markannen with the low basketball IQ and bad pass to seal the loss. he'd been better off kicking the ball to a teammate.

with capela hurt, it will be easy to fade this club going forward.

i did take cleveland +2 1/2 and lost that play, but had them and the clipps in a teaser to offset.
