    Hi Adam. Something’s driving me crazy. The standings on the NBA app have a line after the 8th place team in each conference as if to note that the top 8 teams make the playoffs. But with the new play-in rule, only 6 are guaranteed spots at the end of the season. I recommend they put a line below 6th and then below 10th to signify the teams that currently are in the play-in spots. Please consider this change. It makes more sense and educates the casual fans that don’t know about the new rule. Thanks. You’re a great commish and I love this game!

    Eric Millegan

    and got this response...

    Dear Eric:
    Thank you for sharing your suggestion to update the standings on the NBA app to indicate the teams that would participate in the play-in tournament. It’s a terrific idea and we’re in the process of making the changes you recommended.
    Thanks again for taking the time to reach out and for being such a passionate fan of the game. I hope you’re enjoying the season.
    Sincerely,
    Adam

    He responds to Eric, who happened to be on a hit tv show. Coincidence... I think not.

    I don’t know if he knows who I am. However, with the door now open, I’m gonna invite him to be on Chris’ and my podcast.

    Dear Adam,

    Twas a cold and harsh winter. Pa had to bring all the horses into the stable mighty early this year. MA still can’t find her glass eye, Jimmy thinks the dog ate it... We are hoping they will pass it by next week.

    PS - I’m still very thankful for the basketball, it’s all we have to entertain us when we return from hunting grizzly. I hope this message finds its way to you before the snow thaws. Send my regards to the missus; oh, and please remind Draymond to keep his legs down.

    Sincerely your pal
    -E.M
