The NBA could rival (maybe even beat) the NFL but it's ineptly managed

OH MY GOD can you imagine if the playoffs was a best of THREE GAMES!?!? How is that NOT more exciting? Why would you wanna watch a fukkin SEVEN GAME SERIES when you know one team is CLEARLY BETTER.

WHERE is the suspense? Do you guys like watchin movies when you already know the ending!?!?!?

BEST OF THREE! GAME ONE! CHICAGO AT MIAMI! LETS GO!!!!!!!!

Nah.

Football ain't a more exciting game to me than basketball is but it's PLAYOFFS are more exciting to me because every game is do or die and has that big game feel. Every game has that game 7 feel. More even. It's like fukkin Wrestlemania.

If you brought that to BASKETBALL??? Pffft, forget it. Everyone watches. I'm sorry. No way you'd ever wanna go back to the 7 game format.

The superbowl is exciting BECAUSE it's one game.

That's impossible to replicate. I get it. You want basketball games to be do or die all the time, that's fine, but that's a hard thing to duplicate, and it wouldn't work as well for a Finals. You don't need 2 weeks to get ready for 1 basketball game.

If basketball's your thing, fine. Don't worry about where it stands in the pecking order of sports in America. It's not going anywhere.

Nah man it's not that what I want is a better product AS GOOD as the NFL, if not BETTER.

I'm sayin how jealous I am of football fans I want what they got.

The NBA will be a global league in 20 years, while the NFL will probably be touch football.

With small ball being the new wave, this opens the door for a few international squads(not including Canada) to join the league and be successful. Don't know how they would schedule the games, but I guess they'll figure it out

What if you could guarantee them that less dates = more money long term.

It's not even so much the owners, things like season length are collectively bargained. Even if they'd make more money long term, you think the players would agree to making less money in the short run? :mjpls:

Yea that's the problem. Hell no I don't expect them to make less money.

I guess unless of course the owners were willing to keep the players pay the same during the initial investment :lolbron:
