Unbelievable in the West.

https://www.google.com/search?q=nba+playoff+standings&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS710US710&oq=nba+playoff+standings&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l5.6866j1j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#sie=lg;/g/11b_2r7j6m;3;/m/05jvx;st;fp;1

The 3rd seed has 48 wins and the 8th seed has 47 wins.

That's how amazingly bunched it is between 3 through 8. I don't think something like this has ever happened in the NBA playoffs.

Should be five divisions of six with the division champs getting the top 5 seeds 1-16. No more conferences.

Pretty reactionary suggestion.

What's reactionary about it? It's not even my idea.

Parkins was talking yesterday about all the changes that would/could occur due to last nights game. I hope these playoffs are truly as random as looks possible.

Watch it be Warriors-Cavaliers IV and the MasturNBAtors still go on about how perfect the league is.

Even worse. You stole someone else's terrible idea.

On the contrary, the idea I stole had an appealingly balanced scheduling matrix (4 in most of the division, 5 against two closest teams, 3 against two divisions, 2 against the other two) and would have instituted a feeling that some games during the season count more than others.

The only thing I didn't like was that the map was missing Seattle, but that's the current league's problem too.
