POLL Should the NBA keep the play-in game?

NBA playoffs goes on way longer than it has to.

I wish they would go back to 5 games in the 1st round. And I'll be honest. Even that's too many games...

No, this was a once in a lifetime COVID-19 event where it was the same teams at the same location, on the same court.
Most of the seeded teams did not give a rats ass and rested half their players....non-existent home court was not worth it.

So, we got teams like Phoenix, San Antonio, and Portland playing a perfect storm.
They went a combined 19-5 (and one loss was after SA was eliminated)...but that is not going to happen in the real world.

Even mediocre teams in a true road game environment are tough to beat. These were not true road games.
Any Back-to-Backs is a joke if you only have to travel 1000 feet for a road game.

Those 3 teams would not even come to the gaudy 8-0, 6-2, and 5-3.
They would never ever come close to generating an exciting race without the bubble.

No, there are too many playoff teams and game as it is.
