It’s gonna be fun. The play-in is a good thing. Per NBA.com:

“ At the conclusion of the regular season but before the first round of the playoffs, the team with the 7th-highest winning percentage in each conference will host the team with the 8th-highest winning percentage in a Play-In Game (the “Seven-Eight Game”). The winner of the Seven-Eight Game in each conference will earn the No. 7 seed.

The team with the 9th-highest winning percentage in each conference will host the team with the 10th-highest winning percentage in the “Nine-Ten Game”. The loser of the Seven-Eight Game will host the winner of the Nine-Ten Game in a Play-In Game, and the winner of that game in each conference will earn the No. 8 seed ”

So, when we beat GSW, they will still be alive. I like that. It’s also fortunate that we ended up on the same side as the Suns. They’ll be good warmup for the hallway finals series.

Hopefully we win Wednesday.

1 Utah 8 gsw
2 suns 7 Lakers
3 Denver 6 Portland
4 clip 5 Dallas

I totally can see ALL lower seeds advancing actually.
It wouldn't surprise me.

I’ll take it if we’re the only one. I don’t see Dallas beating the nail clippers.

It would be fun if the Lakers - Warriors play in is actually a preview of the WCF.

In the playoffs, SupertarS show up and unfortunately, Dallas and GSW do not have that other Alpha and even a strong Beta to provide firepower. Porzingis is just too soft, if he doesn't get injured, he lurks in the perimeter like he is Kevin Durant. Denver would have been a real threat but Murray is out.

That’s right. Superstars show up. Like Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal surely will, barring hammy. I think the Wizards are going to kill the Celtics tonight. PoTatum and Smarts is not going to be enough against an angry Russ.

Anyway, with a healed Beal, which he might not be, the Nets better get ready in round one! Can’t have Uncle Drew turn hippie and expect to win against a disgruntled group of misfits like the Wizards. I would love it if they got bounced in round one by the play-in team.
