2021-2022 NBA Season

I'd say Cinci showed more than UM, as well. Not sure that means anything when it came to my comment. still not sure who either beat that was so impressive BEFORE they did their seedings (other than bama beating UGA). That said, those seedings can easily be justified.

Saying Bama was gifted a spot in the championship is a huge slap in the face to Cincy.

They played hard, just weren’t good enough.

Not another team out there more deserving of the opportunity.

They chose Cinci for $$$?

More meaningful games means more $$$

All comments can be true....no other team more deserving, Cinci played hard, gift to Bama as no way they were losing that game.

The money is already in....never mind how does Cinci make it more meaningful?

Saying it is a gift though, implies 1 of 2 things, maybe both.

That either:

Bama didn’t deserve the 1 seed
Or Cincy didn’t deserve to be there

Bama definitely deserved the 1 seed IMO.

Easy answer, make the playoffs 8 or preferably 16 teams. That way they could reward cinci with à playoff berth while still giving teams that could actually compete like ND and OSU a chance.

That’s on them, they had a chance and that is what it’s all about

Or circumstances put Cinci where they were and they were fodder for bama. Yes, bama deserved the 1 seed. Could have made a case for UM, too, and my guess is they'd also beat Cinci (then lose the title game).

OK, but how does this support anything you said? The money is in no matter who they pick for the game....if really only money they'd take a less worthy OSU or ND.

Cincy/Michigan would have been a toss up. That defense is legit.

No, more meaningful games means more money, a shit ton of it for each game.

Somehow we have gotten our threads mixed up, I won’t be talking any more football in this one, I hope.

Yeah get your ass to the correct thread @dtgold88

Who do you think beats Alabama in that spot? To call Cincinnati a gift implies another option that would have beaten Bama or given them a dog fight.

If the Lakers get into the top 4 and AD is still on a milk carton, then we can talk.

Until then, any talk about LBJ as MVP is irrelevant.

Some of the people discrediting Steph currently were also lobbying for CP3 last year.

Which is hilarious.

lol

This post basically says...Because I said so.

The only reason the Bearcats got in was the CFP selection committee got free skyline chili for life.

Only reason to give them free Skyline chili would be if they wanted to be banned from the playoff forever.

 

[trojanfan12]

Cincy showed better than Michigan IMO.

Cincys defense performed far better than anyone thought they could. Just a little help from the offense and that would have been a much closer game. Offense had their chances too.

 

[trojanfan12]

No, more meaningful games means more money, a shit ton of it for each game.

That would be the reason to expand the playoff, not the reason Cincy was chosen.

Holy shit the Lakers have had 18 different starting line up's. And they haven't played more than four consecutive games this season with the same starting line. That's an insane stat.

The teams that have played with the most starting line up's, G.S.-Utah-Phoenix, have all played around 350 minutes together. Compare that to the Lakers who have not had a starting line up that have played over 55 minutes together.

Lakers have had the most starting of the NBA (12/25/21)
