Adam Silver says the NBA has 'to make a change' to its playoff format

“Ultimately we want to see your best teams in the playoffs. And there is an unbalance and a certain unfairness. There is a proposal (from one of the broadcasters)… where the division winners would all automatically go into the playoffs and then you’d seed the next 10 best teams. I think that’s the kind of proposal we need to look at. There are travel issues of course, but in this day in age every team of course has their own plane, travels charter. I don’t think the discussion should end there. And as I’ve said, my first year I was studying a lot of these issues and year two is time to take action. It’s something I’m going to look at closely with the competition committee. I do think it’s an area where we need to make a change.”

U must be naive if you think the NBA is going to take games off the playoffs... like really breh...

 

[Alexander The Great]

you'll have to change the way you schedule teams as well then, although I think this will lead to a lot more tanking/teams not trying

This, NBA stans don't want to hear it, but 7 game series first round is bullshyt, 2 months of playoffs? Season is too long too, but we won't open that can

Yea, first to 5 in the first round. Lower seeds should be penalized for being shyt. Get the shyt show over with as quickly as possible.
