If <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/lebron-james\/\">LeBron James<\/a> complains, then you know Silver will handle it himself. More often than not, he\u2019ll deliver that response faster than Domino\u2019s delivers your pizza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James went off on the league office three months ago over a significant change to the postseason. That criticism didn\u2019t change the commissioner\u2019s mind. But Silver at least allowed the future Hall of Fame inductee the chance to make his case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lebron-james-ripped-into-the-nba-over-the-play-in-round\"><strong>LeBron James ripped into the NBA over the play-in round<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LeBron James on the play-in tournament: &quot;Whoever came up with that s&#8212; needs to be fired&quot;<\/p>&mdash; Dave McMenamin (@mcten) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mcten\/status\/1389085329391452160?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 3, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With his team in a 1-6 tailspin heading into the final two weeks of the regular season, James began facing reality: The Los Angeles Lakers were unlikely to climb back into the top six of the Western Conference, leaving them in the purgatory of the NBA\u2019s new innovation, a play-in round for the seventh through 10<sup>th<\/sup> seeds. Two of the four would advance to the traditional conference quarterfinals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Whoever came with that s&#8212; needs to be fired,&#8221; James announced, memorably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James wasn\u2019t the first big name to complain. Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic voiced his misgivings, and Mark Cuban supported his star guard\u2019s take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inventor of the quasi-playoff tournament was Evan Wasch, the NBA\u2019s executive vice president of basketball strategy and analytics. For the record, he remains employed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors, 103-100, in a thrilling play-in opener to advance to the quarterfinals. Then The Memphis Grizzlies KO\u2019d the Warriors, 117-112. The Eastern Conference games weren\u2019t as compelling, but the play-in concept attracted good reviews and TV ratings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lebron-james-gives-adam-silver-his-approval\"><strong>LeBron James gives Adam Silver his approval<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=683&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers dribbles during the first half of an NBA play-In game against the Golden State Warriors on May 19, 2021 in Los Angeles. | Kevork Djansezian\/Getty Images\" class=\"wp-image-1393820\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=300&amp;h=200 300w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=768&amp;h=512 768w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=683 1024w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=800 1200w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/LeBron-James-2.jpg?w=90&amp;h=60 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers dribbles during the first half of an NBA play-In game against the Golden State Warriors on May 19, 2021 in Los Angeles. | Kevork Djansezian\/Getty Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>He hasn\u2019t gone public with it, but James appears onboard with the decision by NBA officials to renew the play-in for another season. Silver told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/2021\/08\/01\/adam-silver-discussed-play-in-tournament-lebron-james-tinkering-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">TMZ.com<\/a> that he believes James &#8220;understands&#8221; the purpose for the extra games after the two had a conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We talked about it,&#8221; Silver told the website. &#8220;I think at the end of the day, I understand. Especially if you went deep last year and you have that end, you have that many sort of games on your legs. You're not looking forward to more games. But I think he understands the context of the league.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adam-silver-wants-to-take-another-look\"><strong>Adam Silver wants to take another look<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lebron James BEST PLAYS From The 2020-21 Season! \ud83c\udfc0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/myeB0vIO2uI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An important fact to remember about the addition of the play-in round between the end of the NBA regular season and the start of the playoffs is that the National Basketball Players Association signed off on the experiment before the just-completed season. With each team losing five home games and attendance limited for much of the season, they needed a financial boost that also helped players via a higher salary cap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the previous season ended in early October, the NBA scheduled the 2020-21 season to start and end later than usual. What is normally an 82-game schedule over 25 weeks became a more demanding 72 games in 21 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think we wanted to get one more season under our belt that wasn't a pandemic season, so we could really get a sense of how it works,&#8221; Silver said. &#8220;But I'm more open to tinkering with it if necessary.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If he needs suggestions, we\u2019re guessing he has LeBron on speed dial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sports7dotcom\/\"><em>Sports7<\/em><\/a><em> on Facebook.
