its painful seeing Barkley explain for the millionth time why he deserved his MVP (of the regular season) lol.
shades of people asking for Messi to win the Golden Ball EVERY year regardless of other players having better seasons

As long as Lonzo didn't try a step-back or off-the-dribble 3 this past (current?) season, his shot was even better. I think it was something like 41+% off spot-up 3s. Even with the improved form, he doesn't have the body control to really make shots that are hurried at all, including at the rim.
Barkley's MVP isn't that hard to justify, he was the best player on on the team with the most wins.
Malone's is far more contentious

amused this seeding would give us another jazz - rockets series
annoyed that Mavs - Clippers would still happen

it's unfair because 50 wins in the east is not 50 wins in the west. if they ever do the 1-16 seeding then it should be the same amount of games against every team.
and before sy jumps in
Heat vs East 28W - 10L (.737)
Heat vs West 13W - 14L (.481)

Probably fairer than letting a great team from the weaker conference (not just this year but in general) waltz to the finals. You can't seed any other way. If the east is really that much weaker they'll get exposed by this format
By blackace Go To PostProbably fairer than letting a great team from the weaker conferenceabsolutely.
personally i would love it if they play each time twice, once at home and once on the road. 58 games, perfect.
obviously not but that would be my dream scenario. 82 games is way too long after 60 they don't really matter anymore anyway.
Just for comparison the NHL proposal
This kind of solution would make a lot of sense in the west but that first round in the East Would be something
The players' approved playoff plan would temporarily replace the divisional wild-card format the league has used since 2012-13 with two conference tournaments of 12 teams. Expanding the Stanley Cup Playoffs from 16 to 24 teams has been favored by the NHL as an equitable solution for teams that were near the playoff bubble when the season was paused.
Under the plan, the top four seeds in each conference, as determined by their standings points percentage when the regular season was paused on March 12, would receive byes through a round of best-of-five, play-in series featuring seeds 5 through 12. Those play-in series would determine which teams advance to a traditional 16-team Stanley Cup Playoff bracket, which would then have seven-game series.
Those top four teams in each conference won't sit idly by. The format calls for these teams to face one another to remain sharp ahead of the next round of the playoffs – which had been a concern from the players. The top four teams would essentially play some form of a round-robin tournament that would reseed them before the round of 16. A final decision on that format will be made when the NHL signs off on it.
This kind of solution would make a lot of sense in the west but that first round in the East Would be something
In the East it would be
First round: Pacers/Knicks, 76ers/Bulls, Nets/Hornets, Magic/Wizards with Bucks, Raptors, Celtics, Heat doing something sort of pool play/tournament
West: Thunder/Spurs, Rockets/Kings, Mavs/Pels, Grizz/Blazers and Lakers, Clipers, Nuggets, Jazz in the pool.
It is a much better solution than a single elimination play in tournament which is an awful way to decide anything.

of course the first player to whine about this is Lillard (clearly others will fee this way it is just fitting that he goes and cries first)
By diehard Go To Posti really thought the first star to say something would be over health concernsim 100% cool with the health concerns or even a straight up lie/front about health concerns
go out there and half ass it even. but stars get paid to show up at the minimum.
By DY_nasty Go To Postim 100% cool with the health concerns or even a straight up lie/front about health concernsi'd agree if someone paid for a ticket but there won't be any.

Wait, they want current playoff teams to proceed as-is and make the other teams still play eventhough some of them might still have a shot at the playoffs in the regular season? lol okay. I'd sit out, too. That's just a dumb money grab by the owners.

Imagine going to work and telling your boss, “I don’t think I’m gonna contribute to the project for the rest of the fiscal year”
By Fenderputty Go To PostSo Smokey …..Is this why Smokey bought a Switch? To act like he’s a Nintendo fan and that it’s not a badge of shame?
