That is what the playoffs are about though, Dallas got a huge advantage by busting their ass in the regular season - they got to play the lowest seed in the west and have homecourt advantage through out the playoffs. If you want to reward the best teams in the regular season why even have the playoffs?
I am failing to see any argument you can possibly have here |

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. |

Knicks made it to the finals as an 8th seed I think like 8 years ago, I dunno - teams have absolutely no shot of winning I guess so why not make it interesting? I'm personally not a big fan of regular season champions, especially when the season is 82 games long. It's not like it was unfair and the Mavericks had to play the 2 seed in the first round or something. The playoffs are the most exciting time for any sport - why limit them? I also don't get how you can say Golden State had no shot of winning the championship and somehow the Mavs did - when the Warriors beat them in a 7 game series. It's not like they upset them in one game or something. They could make it so the top 16 teams make it regardless of conference, that'll never happen, but I think that could be better. However, it would be impossible to schedule the regular season fairly due to the number of teams/number of games. (Since right now, West teams play West teams 4 times, and East teams twice and vice versa) |

It's fine the way it is.. actually it would be better if the 1sy round was still 5 games. I'd probably make the 1st 2 rounds 5 games..more chance of upsets. But it would be stupid for the NBA to limit to 8 teams in the playoffs overall..I mean I understand that some teams that make it have a slim chance at a championship but the fact that they make it to the playoffs is an accomplishment that helps them rebuild for the next year, and it helps the teams raise ticket prices for more revenue

Let me tell you something about this Detroit game. On the last drive by Lebron there was very minimal contact that could have been considered a foul. But let me tell you who is the idiot here.
Mike Brown. I understand you get upset about your team. But let's say that Hamilton makes both FT's. You still get enough time to get out of bounds and try to do a quick play. But the problem is, his technical results in a free free throw (pretty much automatic with Billups) and instead of being down 1 with a chance of the lead being 3 at max, you are done 2 and if Rip makes both you lose. Just another reason why Mike Brown is not a great coach |

He's black dude, what do you expect from a black coach? I'm joking. Once again, I am not looking forward to a Pistons/Spurs series.

So, who else thought it was sort of eerie that Detroit has won the first two games against Cleveland by a score of 79-76 each game? Not that it matters. Our winning ways WILL continue until we hoist the NBA Championship trophy high in a couple, three weeks.

It goes back to the theory that I would rather watch a game that is close than a 120-100 blowout.

3 minutes into the Detroit vs Cleveland game. Lebron looks pissed. He might score 50 on the Pistons tonight. He looks possessed.

I'm not one to bitch about calls in the NBA. But The treatment Derek Fisher got last night because of the bullshit the refs give the Spurs is downright terrible. Yes on the hard foul at the end of the game it was a foul. But Ginoboli flops like it was the end of the world. And the technical against Fisher for bumping Ginoboli. Fuck off

If Indiana can somehow get Ben Gordon out of Chicago involving a O'Neal trade, they'll be a contender again. Ben Gordon is the goods.

If they want Oneal or Garnett, they're giving up Gordon or Deng or both. And its already being rumored they really want a great post/inside player.

James just hacked the hell out of Prince when he drove on a fast break lay up and they didnt call it. It was a major hack too. I bet they dont replay it cause it was James.
