One idea being floated around is to guarantee playoff appearances to the 6 division winners, and assigning the other 10 spots to the 10 best records otherwise.
How about reducing it to 12 teams, and giving a bye to the top two seeds in each conference?
How about you're not .500 you're not in. Exactly 16 teams are > .500
That'd make 6 teams from the East in, and 10 teams from the West.
Keep it as it is. Realignment defeats the purpose of upsets.
NBA play offs are way too short.
Only 2 months long? If you blink you will miss them.
NBA needs to make their play offs much longer.

Will never happen, too much money on the tableOriginally Posted by Dan Druff
This seems like a good idea.
Current situation could have Durant, Westbrook, Anthony Davis out of the playoffs. The Phoenix Suns are super fun and will be watching from home as some piece of shit team like Brooklyn or Charlotte is getting picked apart by Atlanta.
I'd love to see a premiere league type system in the US. Split it into 3 conferences. The top conference contends for the championship. The bottom teams of the top 2 conferences get demoted. The top teams of the bottom 2 conferences move up.
They would never do a bye; the NBA would be throwing away TV revenue
nba..lol
So u want to give a team 1.5 weeks off so they lose all chemistry and feel?? Never would any basketball team want a bye, there bye is playing the scrub team in the first round. This goes back to u playing Commadore69 but never playing competitive sports Druff. Football yes Basketball Baseball no!! No good team would ever want a bye in basketball unless they had some sort of injury problem that could be fixed in a week.

Don't waste your breath. We've already had this discussion. He never thinks of this kinda shit.So u want to give a team 1.5 weeks off so they lose all chemistry and feel??

He's on some fucked up crusade to somehow, in his mind, make the regular season more meaningful when it would most likely have the exact opposite effect.

Not sure what this is supposed to mean.
BTW, I was 100% agreeing with your first post. Druff is wrong.

one thing that you guys aren't taking into consideration
nobody gives a fuck about the nba
Whatever the solution, sending half the league to the playoffs is absurd, and really does make the regular season fairly meaningless.
Right now the only meaningful part of the regular season determines which fairly good team in the West makes the lower seeds and which fairly good teams stay home.
Otherwise, the only difference between the best team in the NBA and the final seed is home court advantage. Big deal. Home court advantage isn't even making much of a difference this year, which you will notice if you glance at the standings.
Honestly I hate any situation in any sport where the regular season's impact is reduced. I'm not saying that championships should be handed to the team with the best regular season record, but to send the top half of the league to the playoffs every year is ridiculous. Even the current baseball situation where 10 teams go sucks, because there is so much variance in short-term baseball results. (See the 2014 Giants and Royals.)
If the Dodgers win the World Series in 2015, I hope it's through winning the NL West, and not skating through with some sub-90-win wildcard BS.
Wasn't against u either. Just shooz laughing at what u said about not wasting r breath talking to Druff about anything.Not sure what this is supposed to mean.

Druff how many times has a #8 seed beat a #1 seed?? I don't no the answer but it's not many. Basketball is a feel game no team wants a 1.5 week lay off playing against each other in practice, while there opponent is out there playing the real thing.
1 more thing I think the NBA this yr has way more parody than it has had in the last 20 yrs. Who do u think is going to win the Championship this yr? Good Luck with picking that right now! I wouldn't put my Money on GS or Atlanta that's for sure.

That's fine. Maybe a bye isn't the answer, but the current system sucks.

Even if it doesn't happen often, it shouldn't happen at all. 8 teams from each conference shouldn't be making the playoffs.
