we’re do you find ESPN bpi for the playoffs
Matthew Breslin
May 10, 2021 at 7:42 pm
ESPN Stats. On the top bar, click stats and then click BPI. The default ranking given is regular season BPI but all the way to the right is playoff BPI(assuming full health).

Can the lakers/blazers not get the 5th seed?? This man said it like they can only get the 6 seed even though Mavs 1 game ahead

Dallas get the tiebreaker from Lakers and Portland get the tiebreaker from Dallas so basically Lakers need to have better record than those 2 teams to be on 5th seed

Lol is the play in really that confusing to understand?

May 8, 2021 at 9:03 pm
@david ho No it’s just stupid & unnecessary. Have the league in the playoffs is ridiculous.

May 8, 2021 at 9:08 pm
@Hardworking Criminal I agree it’s dumb especially the 9th and 10th seed don’t deserve to be in the playoffs it’s just too much
David Ho
May 8, 2021 at 10:48 pm
@Hardworking Criminal not my point. My point is ppl really can’t comprehend the format

@David Ho You didn’t make a point you clearly asked a question. Please learn the difference if you’re gonna get sassy.

@Hardworking Criminal not getting sassy my friend and apologies if I was. I meant the question as a rhetorical question

It’s funny seeing the amount of math geeks that have invaded the sports world while knowing nothing more about sports itself.

A microcosm of the so-called, high-tech world we live in.
Another indication of failure are the millions of its advocates that claim to know how to repair said technology….

Love my Blazers, but unless some of those teams rest their guys in those games, there are some tough games coming up and they need to win 3 of those 4? If I were that guy, I’d be browsing the rental listings…

Shouldn’t the 7 play the 10 and 8 play the 9? I find that’s weird to do 7 play 8 and 9 play 10

I wish but theres still a advantage for 7 and 8 seed

How do you cause nightmare ratings to get even worse for the NBA, bounce Lebron early. *Fingers crossed*

The title is breaking down the western conference playoff picture. All I heard was the lakers playoff projections and how they are injured. Stop talking about the lakers!! 1-6 in the western conference are amazing!! Please for the love, talk about anyone else besides the lakers or maybe talk about the western conference LIKE THE TITLE SAYS! F$@&ing click bait!
