One of the dumbest sports related notions that I believe I have ever heard. This is typically uttered by non NBA fans. |

Denied. NBA players even realize this. |

So meaningful that star players routinely take days off just because they want to. |

Players and coaches of teams that have a chance treat it like extended preseason. |

This is what the history of Finals winners suggests. https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/2 ... s_by_seed/ Thus the regular season does matter. If it didn't then why aren't there any 5, 7, or 8 seeds winning championships? Ever. Only ever been 1 6th seed to win the championship. Houston with Hakeem. 3/4ths of the time champion has been a 1 seed. |

It's funny how the NBA season doesn't matter for the opposite reason that the NHL season doesn't matter. |

When teams at .500 make the playoffs, it is meaningless to me. |

NBA Regular Season goes a long way towards determining who the actual champion will be. |

Baseball and college football have the most meaningful regular seasons as the playoffs are difficult to make. But all sports have diluted the regular season. The NFL fucked it up when they made four team divisions. Hockey and basketball are a joke with long regular seasons and too many teams in the playoffs. I would prefer top four only in both conferences. I watch anyway because I love sports. |

The NFL going to eight divisions of four made a perfect scheduling matrix for the first time in a long time, thought you'd appreciate it. |

9 of last ten seasons a team .500 or worse made the NBA playoffs. 2 out of last 10 seasons have had an NFL team .500 or worse in playoffs. |

If it didn't there would be more 3,4, and 6's winning and 5,7, 8 would have won at some point. |

Only two 9-7 teams have won the Super Bowl. Every other Super Bowl champ had at least 10 wins. Liar time guy |

You are comparing a one game playoff to a series so of course their is more variance. If the NCAA tourney was a best of 7 each round, a top 1-2 seed would never lose in the first two rounds. It was news last night that Lebron an AD were playing the second game of a back to back this weekend. But you are bored and looking to troll right now. |

I'm stating a fact that is backed up by evidence. You are arguing about process not to be confused with "The Process". I'm not. It doesn't matter how they go about determining the champion. 72% of NBA champions are determined by being Regular Season #1 seeds. Thus if you are a #1 seed there is a nearly 3/4th chance that you will be champion. Your #1 seed is determined by your regular season record. No other major sport can boast a numbered % which is that high. |

NBA rarely makes any sense. It is a fairytale for those who want to believe in it. Much like WWE wrestling, Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny. No other reason to explain the United Center being virtually packed with sellout crowds every year since Jordan retired. Didn't they only recently break the sellout streak? |

Who gives a fuck what non-NBA fans think. Does Frank give 2 fucks that non MLB fans want to place a runner at 2nd in extra innings? |
