I'm still watching Innsbruck 1976, but, now that NFL22 is over, I'm getting excited about paying attention to NBA23. I'm trying to remember who won NBA22. I'm going to look it up and confirm, but I think it was the Golden State Warriors. I'm pretty sure they are good again, but I will find out as I go through Zach Harper's "Power Rankings" for The Athletic, which I am thankful to get to read.
OK, I just checked, and I was right that the Warriors are good again, according to phenomenal Basketball Reference ...
You have to finish in your conference's top 10 to continue playing after the regular season. The NBA makes a big distinction between the "Play-In Tournament," which involves the seventh- through 10th-place regular-season finishers, and the "Playoffs," which involves the first- through sixth-place finishers plus the two Play-In survivors per conference. That's fine. I mean, it's all postseason/playoff stuff to me, but I'm fine with calling them whatever they want to be called.
Anyway, chase is that you want to be in the top 10 in your conference. The Warriors, at the moment, are. Even more importantly, the Wizards, at the moment, are! So I'm excited. If the Wizards fall out of the top 10, I probably will lose interest, but, for now, I'm excited.
Comments flow!
