No. If Phoenix makes he playoffs from behind us, we can jump to #10, but that’s it.
I haven't read anything that said they would change the lottery seeds based on the play-in tourney.

WHOOOOOOOOO! What is that, 20 or 21 years in a row???
LOL, instant backfire on dip OP.
gotcha.
so 8th seed only has to win once whereas the 9th seed would have to win twice.
Pretty lame way for teams to have to fight for the last playoff spot but oh well it’s probably better for us anyway.
why not 9? Washington is fighting for the playoff spot in the East
spurm not in playoff yet, not even in play-in..
we'll stick at 11 or whatever we're at. you can't have teams with x # of games compared in lottery placement with x +8.
for most teams this is just a warm up for the playoffs. when i first read it, i thought all 22 teams would be seeded based on the 8 games.
So if San Antonio is included in the 22 teams, does that mean the Playoff streak continues?
Waste of time for Spur fans. Spurs will not make the playoffs and will not get a better draft pick. Might even get a worse pick. This is more like the summer league and would prefer the Spurs use the end of the bench to close this out. Spurs are basically being a scrimmage team to help warm up the teams that will be in the playoffs.
Hopefully we can keep that momentum from that Mavs win haha
Let's get a proper asterisk this time
If there is one thing this Spurs team has done exceptionally well this year, it's disappointed. I'm sure they will come through again with a disappointing performance and probably will be the first team eliminated.
i'm confused.
this is dumb anyways though. like i've been saying, the 8th and 9th seeds in both conferences are already separated by around four games iirc.
more money $ for sure. maybe it'll be a lil exciting? i still don't know what's going on though.
This is dumb. Shoulda just gave teams 3 or 4 weeks of camp and started the playoffs as it currently stands.
tbh ur correct......
The reason to do this is to make sure that enough games are played to get full cut of tv revenues particularly local revenues and to prepare the playoff teams for the playoffs. These are really glorified scrimmages with highly unlikely odds of anyone being moved out of the current 8th seed.
All of the trash teams are out, and currently, the Wiz are 5.5 games out. They need to pick up 1.5 games in a cut throat environment JUST to get to play #8. If they’re further than 4 games out, they don’t even get a play in game. If they do manage to play in, they need to beat #8 two times, where one loss knocks them out, even if they win the first game.
I consider it VERY unlikely that either WSH or PHO will make the playoffs, for the reasons I’ve stated. Our default lottery draw position will likely be 11.
missing the POs would make pop realize changes are needed.
hopefully.
Yeah, local TV deals are paid in full at 70 games, and this would get the Spurs to 71.
lol, lillard. Shoot off your mouth, and draw two of the top 3 EC seeds.
So, do the #1 - #7 teams in each division play at all during this 8 game play in by the scrub teams?
Did you not read the released schedules?
