WATCH: Is the play-in tournament a dumb idea – or a great one?

As the second-ever NBA postseason play-in tournament draws closer with the end of the 2020-21 regular season in sight, increasingly vocal opinions on that novel wrinkle to playoff contention are starting to make their way around the wider NBA media sphere.

And with the team currently clinging to the Eastern Conference’s sixth-place spot with just six games left in the season, whether the play-in tournament is good or bad for the NBA is a debate that’s increasingly relevant for Boston Celtics fans, as Team President Danny Ainge recently acknowledged in his usual weekly appearance on a popular New England sports radio show.

The hosts of the CLNS Media podcast “The A-List” Kwani A. Lunis and A. Sherrod Blakely weigh in on this increasingly contentious topic in their most recent episode.

Check out the video embedded above to hear all they have to say about the play-in tournament, Evan Fournier’s recent comments on COVID, the top-five all-time point guards and a lot more with guest Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.
