Hindi ba the format this season is same as last season? Top 6 teams go straight to the playoffs and 7th to 10th seed will battle it out for the last 2 spots? Ilang regular season games ba ngayon?
That’s right. May play-in tournament this season from May 18-21 involving Seeds 7 to 10 from each conference after the 72-game season. Seed 7 will host Seed 8, while Seed 9 will host Seed 10. Winner of the “7 vs. 8” game will advance as the 7th seed, while the loser will face the winner of the “9 vs. 10” game to determine who will advance as the 8th seed.
So even if certain teams drop to the 9th or 10th seed at the end of the regular season, baka maka-disgrasya sa play-in tournament. Meron nga lang twice-to-beat advantage ang Seeds 7 and 8.
