1.)
What are your thoughts on the way the NBA now enters teams into the Playoffs.
No longer is it the best teams in the East/West Conferences.
It's now that the 1st place holder in each DIVISION is granted the top 3, THEN it's the next best teams...
Example:
Western Conference (and same for Eastern Conference)
1st - 1st Overall (Southwest)
2nd - Next best record in different Division (Pacific)
3rd - Again - next best record in different Division (Northwest)
4th - Next best record overall
5th - ditto
6th - ditto
7th - ditto
8th - ditto
Was just looking how the Mavs are doing. Currently tied with Spurs for best Western Conference record, but are seeded 4th due to the other 1st placers in the Pacific & Northwest Divisions, if Mavs got 1 up on the Spurs, in the overall, they would be 1st Seed, and Spurs would be 4th.
This would suck for me as a fan, considering if they entered Playoffs tomorrow, Mavs would face Clippers, instead of Lakers or Hornetts.
2.)
What is the most disappointing Team at the moment.
Celts, Knicks, Raptors, Bulls, Jazz, T'Wolves, Sonics, Blazers, Warriors, Kings, Rockets.
All these teams are CURRENTLY out of the Playoffs.
