Cavs 11game win streak

Emperor Smeat 02-05-2015 08:12 PM

New commish says the NBA might consider the idea of tweaking the playoff system so only division winners get guaranteed spots and then 10 spots for the best remaining records regardless of conference. Main reason for the idea is related to how long the West has currently been the more dominating conference in terms of records and teams.

Quote:

"Ultimately we want to see your best teams in the playoffs," Silver said. "And there is an unbalance and a certain unfairness. There is a proposal where the division winners would all automatically go into the playoffs and then you’d seed the next 10 best teams. I think that’s the kind of proposal we need to look at. There are travel issues of course, but in this day in age every team of course has their own plane, travels charter. I don’t think the discussion should end there. And as I’ve said, my first year I was studying a lot of these issues and year two is time to take action. It’s something I’m going to look at closely with the competition committee. I do think it’s an area where we need to make a change."
http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2015/2/5...ence-imbalance

MLS tried that idea for a few years with their playoffs before going back to the traditional way. Then again they also had a couple of years with 3 conferences and took the top 8 overall records for playoffs as well.

Ruien 02-07-2015 10:51 AM

I like the idea. Will prevent the first round from having every series but 1 in the East not really mattering. Seriously retarded that the East is so terrible.

Stoudemire signing with the Mavs. In terms of money, its in the veterans minimum range but gets a lot more play time than other likely playoff teams were offering.

Suns currently looking at trading Goran Dragic with a deal needing to be done before Thursday's trade deadline. Dragic has no interest in signing a new deal with the Suns after this season and wants a trade done to a team he'd like to play for.

Rockets and Lakers were rumored to be front runners but Dragic shot down playing for the Rockets while Bill Simmons doesn't think the Heat, Lakers, Knicks, or Cs would get a deal done unless the Suns took a low ball offer.

NBA working with the NCAA and NABC on a new proposal for NBA drafts.

Could take effect as early as next year's draft, allows more time for players to declare for the draft, and allows a special workout combine meant to restore college eligibility if those players are not seen as Round 1 worthy.

Combine would include seniors, underclassmen and international players (currently, if an underclassman submits official paperwork to declare for draft, he forfeits his eligibility and cannot return to school).

• Invitation-only combine would replace the traditional Chicago draft camp.

• If a player submits draft paperwork and is not invited to the NBA combine, the recommendation is to withdraw from the draft and return to school.

• Could be voted on by the NCAA in January and take effect in time for the 2016 draft.

Also cool @ Golden State kicking some ass. Not a fan by any stretch or anything but Draymond Green is cool

It has been happening in the East for years. The West just dominates everything. Last year Dallas had 49 wins and finished with the 8th seed in the West. So nuts.

Crimson 04-12-2015 10:58 AM

Which is why I like that proposed idea of seeding the entire league instead of west/east. But doubt it'll pass.

Ruien 04-12-2015 12:50 PM

It haa a good chance to pass. There will be 1 match up in the East that people will actually want to watch. Unless Miami or Ind actually find their way to the 7th seed.

I don't think you'll see conferences being made meaningless like that. They should actually make the conferences be made more important by having more games played inside the conference instead of having full "inter-league play."

It was only 1 quarter but D Rose tore it up in the 2nd against the Bucka.
