I'm not convinced the play-in is a good idea, and i think it cheapens the regular season. I think the MVP race would have been more interesting, if the season didn't come down to the wire.

I'm so hyped for the postseason! I think the Hornets have a shot at upsetting the Bucks in the play-in.

I think the Raptors have a better chance than most people realize. If they can get past the first couple rounds, and get some momentum, they could really be dangerous.

I can't believe the Heat missed the playoffs this year. Did anyone else see that coming? Anyways, the play-in tournament is going to be the hottest battle.

The playoffs are going to be a wild ride. Teams are going to be selling seats, and there will be a lot more COVID 19 as a result. Its a dangerous time to have large gatherings.
