don't overthink it

lakers are on the cusp of falling into the play-in, instead of sitting atop the western conference

It's probably more of a compromised season than last year, given the scheduling quirks, health and safety protocol roster effects, and injuries to major players.

You're just mad the Bulls went all in on the play-in and got worse.

he's no genius, just reacting to their current sixth place seeding after he couldn't fix everything right away upon his return. basically, calm down king. act like the king.

I mean 7 being in danger of missing the playoffs and 10 making it is absurd. I can get on board with an 8/9 play-in at most, but this set up is stupid.

But at least the Heat will get knocked out in 2 games instead of 4 or 5 so I'll get some of my life back thanks to this I guess.
