Silver did the math. Lebron has missed the playoffs 3 different times, but he's never finished below the 10th seed. So Silver decided to just give all the 10th seeds a shot at the playoffs from now on.

Guess he should have added even more teams to the play-in......

Breaking news. Adam Silver has just announced all teams from both conferences will automatically be in the playoffs.

Crawford just drilling it home "Do they even care?"

I mean I get his point about nobody diving for loose balls but jfc these dudes are old. You can't expect them to be able to do that.

As another sage fan put it, 100% most dangerous 11 seed in NBA history.

Lol now the autistic haters come out the woods

All I know is everyone favorite player was retired or TRASH by this point and this guy is leading the league in points

S3 - Using "autistic" as an insult is offensive and wildly inappropriate. -b

I have never seen a season with so many star players being iffy because of their injury status. Zion, Kawhi, Murray/Porter, Simmons can all come back and tilt their trams playoff odds heavily. Let's hope some of them do comeback to make it more entertaining for us.

I don't understand how Lakers continue to lose on home court with Lebron and AD playing this well. Can't anyone else on that team give them some 3 and D? How the hell did they let Caruso go?

they can't stop anyone. Lebron doesn't care about defense, neither the other players do.

James to the media: "It was exciting helping put this team together this summer. Understanding what I felt and we all felt was going to make us a title-contending team. ... I watch enough basketball to know what I need to do to help the ball club depending on the acquisitions we make per year. So I'm very cerebral about what I need to do for our team to be as great as we can be and to be the counterpart to what Russ brings to the table. ... I always figure it out."
