Examples of Playoff in a Sentence
Rachel Nichols said it was surprising and disappointing that the NBA did not do the same especially when it had tributes for civil rights icon John Lewis and actor Chadwich Boseman. If you are a league that holds equality as a core value, and I know for sure that this league does, the icons of that equality cant be those who just helped the men that we all see on TV but those who paved the way for the women who worked right alongside them, after all, the NBA is significantly stronger because of all the women who work in it and around it. And we are all significantly stronger because a young lawyer dedicated her life to allow us to have those opportunities. WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert released a statement on Bader Ginsburg death on Friday two days before the Las Vegas Aces and Connecticut Sun played their playoff game. Sad to hear of the passing of an icon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a role model, and a champion for equality for so many.
This site is so sprawling that we're able to build on the campus. We're getting better and better at this because it seems like the past couple of years the potential playoff team has been the Super Bowl host city, starting in November we started to build contingencies around each round. It’s no secret that the championship game scenario is the most challenging scenario because it obviously shortened everything.

The reality is that we have seen him play at a high level before. Being realistic, the injury does have some impact on his performance, we are focused on him getting healthy. We know how he works. We think he is talented. We have seen him play at a playoff-caliber level before, and I do not think there is any reason to think he ca n’t rebound to that level next year.
That wasnt the case Saturday. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic were a combined 20 for 38 from the floor, 7 for 13 from 3-point range. Paul George scored 22 points for the The Clippers, who got 15 from Ivica Zubac and endured a rare off night offensively from Kawhi Leonard. The two-time NBA Finals MVP had 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but shot only 4 for 17. Kawhi Leonard had scored at least 20 points in 27 of Kawhi Leonard last 28 playoff games and had at least 29 in all seven playoff games this season. We dug ourselves in a 20-point hole early.
