Good idea. Stops the 9th and 10th seeds from tankingWhat's everyone's take on the play in? LeBron has a pouty face.

I think of him more of an extra bonus.
Saw some commentators going on about how Jrue shut him down, and thats all well and good, but when Harden is back, Jrue can’t guard them both(not do I think he can shut Kyrie down game in and game out)
If they all get healthy and are able to gel, it’s just going to be hard to beat them, with three supreme shot makers/shot creators who are all as capable as anyone else in the NBA as going NBA Jam on fire mode at any time.
Durant is almost as fragile as Nance. It's just a matter of time before his career is over.hate to say this because it’s an asshole thing to say, but I was sort of hoping Durants career was over after his injury as divine punishment for taking the easy road to a championship. Now not only is he back he’s somehow managing to take the easy road again

Agreed.I think it's kind of dumb to have non-contenders in the playoffs. Only one 5-8 seed has ever won (the 47-35 Rockets in '95). No team with a losing record has made the finals in 40 years. The NBA playoffs aren't supposed to be a fun free-for-all like March Madness...they're supposed to be about determining the NBA champions.
Get off my lawn, etc.
Let's look at 5-6-7 in both conferences right now:Agreed.
I would have preferred them reducing the playoff field rather than expanding it.
Drop to 6 teams, top 2 get a bye while 3v6 and 4v5 take place in a 5 game series that spans a single week.
Let's see how much teams fight for those top seeds then.
Unfortunately, it will never happen because fewer games=less money.
