I am failing to see any argument you can possibly have here

It's quite clear. The NBA does not have enough good teams to support a 16-team playoff format. Even in this one, totally abnormal year when an 8 seed beat a 1 seed, Golden State still had no chance at winning the championship. They got blown out in the second round. Why not just cut the shit out and actually reward the teams who did well in the regualar season. Considering the fact that teams with losing records have made the NBA playoffs each of the last however many years, I don't know how you can argue that having 16 teams is even close to neccessary.
Cut out the eight worst teams, put more emphasis on the regular season and don't waste your time waiting for another fluke like Golden State. Yeah, it was somewhat cool at the time, but since they accomplished absolutely nothing after beating Dallas, who gives a shit?
Your whole argument is based around low seeds doing well all the time, and that cannot be further from the truth.
