Will NBA Play-in games be counted as part of the regular season, the playoffs or not at all? For those who don't know what this is, there may be a couple of extra games played to decide the 8th seed in each conference. I figure to avoid confusion, it would be good for this to be decided ahead of time.
Here are the details of play-in games:
If the team with the eighth-best combined winning percentage (regular season games and Seeding Games) in a conference is more than four games ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined winning percentage in that conference, then the team with the eighth-best combined winning percentage will be the eighth seed in the playoffs, and no Play-In Game(s) would be played, for that conference.
If the team with the eighth-best combined winning percentage (regular season games and Seeding Games) in a conference is four or fewer games ahead of the team with the ninth-best combined winning percentage in that conference, then those two teams will participate in a ¡°play-in¡± to determine which team will be the eighth seed in the playoffs in that conference. In order to secure the playoff spot: (1) the team with the eighth-best combined winning percentage will need to win one Play-In Game, and (2) the team with the ninth-best combined winning percentage will need to win two.
