    This looks much more competitive than what we're going to see come NBA playoff time.

    By that you mean eliminate East/West? I don't have any problem with that.

    But if you mean make it 1-game playoffs instead of 7 game series I wholeheartedly disagree

        Sure.That is exactly what these pro leagues are all about...less games.

        Since I have been around, all they have done is add teams, games and playoff spots.$ rules.

        Simply way too many regular season games.

          Eliminate West/East, and of course keep it to a seven-game series.

          How can you hate the Phoenix Suns? They're fun to watch, and it would be a crime if they didn't make it.

            I don't like their style of play.

            I don't like the fact that they keep winning games they shouldn't with fluky comeback after fluky comeback. It gets annoying.

            In fact, this post by No Coin sums it up pretty well: http://forum.sbrforum.com/nba-basket...e-phoenix.html

                should just have one game
                spurs/pacers right now would be the game
                no playoffs

                  "I fvcking hate this team. Something about them. I should love the way they are selfless, work hard, flourish with good chemistry, etc., but for some reason, I don't."

                  I've heard him say how awful the NBA product has become.

                  He hates when teams are selfish AND selfless?

                  No Coin being No Coin.

                    Well I don't know, I identified with what he said in that particular thread.

                    I personally don't think the NBA product is shit at all, I think it's the best sport there is.

                    Plus which there isn't always a rational explain to loving/hating a team

                        Thanks, Seaweed. While you're there with him, talk about it with NBA Commissioner Adam Silver.

                            Seaweed was talking about Howard Stern.

                            They occasionally golf in the Bahamas.

                              This system would be good because it would make the regular season a little more important. The best overall would get to play the worst team that qualified.
                              NBA is so horrible to watch during the regular season. None of these monkeys play hard every night. They have to find a way to make these guys play. 100's of millions isn't enough.

                              This will never happen, because it eliminates divisions and East/West conferences, but would probably boost regular season ratings a tad in the long run.

                                They should have a tournament with every team competing in it sometime during the end of the regular season. That'd be fun to watch right before the playoffs.

                                    You guys have it all wrong.

                                    The NBA needs to have the NON playoff teams play a tournament to decide draft pick order. Screw the lottery and teams tanking.
