    How/why the hell do Milwaukee and Sacramento have NBA teams? Two boring, random ass unknown cities.

    Reduce number of teams in the playoffs

    Regular season is absolutely meaningless

    Maybe it hasn`t been great, but some of the games have been played with high intensity.

    It will only get better next round when the dregs hit the bricks.

    Obviously, LESS teams overall, and less playoff team would make a WAY better product.
    Obviously, this is fantasy island as it would mean less money, and all pro sports never go the route of less money.

    The best solution would be splitting the league into 2 , 16 team divisions.
    Champions plays for the title, second tier 16 plays for 4 spots following year up in Champs, while bottom 4 in champs drop down.
    And F`k 82 games. Too many. 60 would be plenty, and games would be so competitive.

    it's only noticeably bad this year cause of all the blowouts

    more often than not chalk advances round 1 anyway whether it takes 4 games or 7

    It is pretty pathetic. First round of playoffs is just atrocious. I'd rather watch pre-season games. How can the Celtics be competitive at home but lost by 30 in Atlanta? Not San Antonio.....Atlanta?! The series will definitely get better as they go but this is embarrassing. Just awful.
