Play-in game for the 8th seed for the playoffs

[RogueBorg]

Technically, no team has been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs when the season was halted. We have to have a play-in because we don't know who would have won that final spot, it would only take 3 days to do. I like Lillard's suggestion of a play-in game, here's how to do. To eliminate travel, all NBA teams will report to Walt Disney World in Orlando, which has the facilities and the hotels to handle this.

Using the Western Conference, the 8th through the 15th positions will participate in a 1-game elimination game until the 8th seed is determined.

Memphis Grizzlies (8)
Portland Trail Blazers (9)
New Orleans Pelicans (10)
Sacramento Kings (11)
San Antonio Spurs (12)
Phoenix Suns (13)
Minnesota Timberwolves (14)
Golden State Warriors (15)


Day 1
Golden State vs. Memphis (suppose Golden State wins)
Minnesota vs. Portland (suppose Portland wins)
Phoenix vs. New Orleans (suppose New Orleans wins)
San Antonio vs. Sacramento (suppose San Antonio wins)

Day 2 (two days later)
Golden State vs Portland (suppose Golden Stats wins)
San Antonio vs. New Orleans (suppose New Orleans wins)

Day 3 (two days later)
Golden State vs. New Orleans (suppose Golden State wins)

Golden State wins 8th seed, plays Los Angeles in the opening round of the playoffs.

You're reading my mind brother. How funny would that be?

Lebron’s afraid of a much worse version of a team he’s already beat with probably less help than he has now lmao?
Coach bust out another alt this one isn’t cutting it.

So you're saying Lebron is still in his prime? I don't think Lebron would be happy to see the Warriors so early again.
