The play-in tournament has come under attack. Luka Doncic has questioned how fair it is and Mark Cuban has called it “an enormous mistake.” On the other hand, it seems to have positively affected tanking, since the top 12 teams in the two conferences are trying to win.
With the play-in almost a month away, do you think it’s actually a good idea that it’s still around or agree that could be unfair and should probably be abandoned going forward?
Marilyn Dubinski: Considering Mark Cuban was part of an unanimous vote to approve it ahead of the season, the fact that his team currently sits at 7th, and his history of flip-flopping on issues, it makes you wonder if he only doesn’t like it because his team is in that 7th/8th seed and could possibly lose what would otherwise be an automatic playoff appearance.
