yeah i mean it's obviously dumb and pointless bc who the [censored] cares who the #8 seed is? #8 seeds have won, what, like twice? do fans of those teams even gaf if they squeak into the playoffs, or would they rather be brutal and get a decent draft pick? it's not like ppl go nuts for the NCAA play-in game(s). why? because we all know they're just going to get stomped by the #1 seed. so they ones who could be bothered to turn their head are:
1. people who go to those schools
2. alumni i guess
3. degen gamblors
the NBA playoffs are about as chalky as it gets in NA sports, so this entertaining as hell tournament is obv a brutal idea that only wastes time. if it wasn't for the revenue generated they might as well get rid of the 1st round altogether. but no, we need a bunch of pointless games to see who's ghana get swept by the team with 3 all-stars. great idea, Bill! you're right, i'd totally watch this, and you should mention it in every article until you retire!
(just like how you should be a GM bc...idk...they let you into that Sloan Conference thing, and you have Daryl Morey on speed dial, or something)
