Examples of Playoff in a Sentence

  1. Dwyane Wade with 17 points:

    If we don't have home court advantage, oh well. We start on the road, if we don't win enough games to get home court, you still have a playoff series to play. You have to win on the road if you are going to be considered a good team. Once the regular season is over, you move on to the next season, the playoffs.

  2. Richard Sherman:

    Adams, who caught two touchdowns and had a franchise playoff-record 160 yards in a win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday in the NFC divisional round, now must face one of the top defenses in the NFL and one of the leagues best cornerbacks. Well, I mean, it doesnt change, really, Adams said on facing Richard Sherman. Hes definitely a great player, and people have said a lot about whether hes fell off or what not and I dont see that. I see that hes still the same guy, still making plays. Shermans 35 interceptions since entering the league in 2011 are the most among active players during that span. The 31-year-old is looking to make his third Super Bowl appearance after being one of the key parts to the Seahawks back-to-back Super Bowl appearances in the 2013 and 2014 seasons. Though Shermans resume is longer than Adams, the respect between the two is mutual. Hes very good at beating man coverage.

  3. Ian Poulter:

    That's generally the distance you hit it to when you are playing well. It's an amazing percentage of putts that he holes and we all want that sort of putting stroke, he holed a 50-footer at the 16th in the final round of the Open and then bogeyed the 17th after missing from seven feet. He was one shot away from the playoff and that's what happens when you play well and putt well.

  4. Jarred Kelenic:

    They’re a really good ball club and to piece it together as a team and come out on top is what we’re going to need the rest of this month to get us to a playoff spot, to prove to ourselves that we can do that is only going to help us down the road.

  5. Florida State:

    One of the harder things to do is to judge what the future of college football is going to be, if you look and say, ‘ OK, six years ago, we’re going to have a playoff and this is how they’re going to judge it and evaluate the playoff. ’ It’s hard to judge that in the future, that far.
