New to the format this year is a play-in tournament for determining who gets the last two playoff spots in each conference. If I understand it right, the winner of 7 vs 8 gets the 7th seed and the winner of 9 vs 10 plays the loser of 7 vs 8 for the 8th seed. There was one play-in series last year, to determine the final playoff team for the Western Conference only, when covid interrupted the final stretch of games with the last two teams so close to each other, but this isn't a carryover from that this is something they've wanted to try out for a while.
Join #NBA if you're able to be online while you watch, especially if you are rooting for either team playing, and let's have some ToO viewing parties! If you are watching but can't chat during game action you can try to check in during some breaks!
For now just drop by when a game is on and see if anyone else is there, we'll get more organized and hopefully have progressively more attendance as the rounds advance.
