Man I love the NBA, but I'm just going to say it. The play in tournament is the worst idea to come down the sports pike in the last 25 years. It's very likely to play out exactly as it was supposed to, and here you make the 7 and 8 seeds in each conference play for a spot they already earned. Just a waste of the post season hype IMO. Give the teams 4-5 days off after the end of the regular season, and get it on already. If you weren't good enough to get a spot from 1-8 (after 82 whole games at that!) then you shouldn't be playing post season basketball. I'm sure this opinion is unpopular, especially with teams of the fans who got a shot, but it just irks me to no end as to why the league felt this necessary.
