Sports Take: NBA should abolish Play-In Tournament

By Gio Gennero | Sports Writer

The NBA Play-In Tournament is dumb. Maybe it made sense the first year when the league was put on hold for COVID-19 and they were forced into the bubble. However, keeping it around isn’t good and the league should revise the current playoff setting.

Losing should not be rewarded, so why should a team who didn’t even win 40 games get a chance to overtake a team that did. For example, right now the San Antonio Spurs are in the Play-In, and so are the Minnesota Timberwolves.
