Who does everyone have in this one? 

I was impressed by Indiana the other night - they're my pick.

I think Russ wills WAS to the win.

Brogdon is a good player.

So many of us were clamoring for the Mavs to chase him....

Crazy pace. Both teams really wanting to run.

Pacers really miss Turner. Park him in the paint and Westbrook isn´t doing anything.

Everything about McConnell screams perfect RC guard. Undersized veteran. Great pick and roll ballhandler. Good onball defender. High IQ/leadership.

So far, this prediction has been pretty accurate.

RoLo turning into prime Kareem.

Dude seems to be on a mission right now to prove his haters wrong.

Sabonis not even trying to get back in transition. Perfect example for empty boxscore stats. By far the worst player on the floor. Point in @"KillerLeft" case that it is really difficult to win with a defensive liability at center.

I was just about to post about how overrated I think he is after watching the last game and the first half of this one.

Indy should blow it up for our trash assets and picks IMO for a couple of players like Brogdon and Turner...

This game is boring. I'm barely paying attention.

Indiana blows out Charlotte, only to get smoked by the Wizards.  Wizards are kinda dangerous when they're clicking. But I see no upset vs Philly.

7th and 8th seed in the east advance. If the Warriors win against the Grizzlies the entire play in tournament was a waste of time.

Nah, it helped the end of the regular season IMMENSELY. Most interesting ending in years.

Washington is a decent case in point: Yes, they ended up in the top 8, but if not for the prospect of 9th and 10th giving them a shot, do they even TRY after their terrible start to the season?

Was it though? The MEM/GSW 8th vs. 9th battle would've been entertaining no matter what. In fact whoever won that game would've made the playoffs so it would've meant more. 

Same with WAS/CHA. 

Just trying to play devil's advocate. I do think the play in motivated more teams near the end, namely POR/DAL/LAL, to get some rest.

The play in motivated the teams trying to avoid it, as well as the teams trying to make the playoffs. Me thinks it will continue next year.
