Eastern Conference has ruined the NBA

[UpAndComing]

2006-2010 was pretty good with the Celtics, Pistons, and Cavs doin well

 

[Regular_P]

Silver has to get that 1-16 playoff seeding in effect next season. This shyt is ridiculous.

 

[kickz]

running through pistons, hawks and raptors really had these dudes fooled


shout out to the REAL Finals... OKC vs GSW

Yessir, finals aready happened. This some preseason BS

Silver needs to get rid of fakkit ass conferences, Cavs would've been eliminated by the Spurs or Clippers in the 2nd round

 

[MostReal]

Eastern conference needs a "basketball reasons" intervention

 

[Premeditated]

it's not gonna get any better for the East because Twolves and Lakers() are on the come up. Hopefully Bucks and Celtic() can make the jump

So do you want a balanced schedule with a ton more travel and back to backs? Or are you going to leave the schedule as is and end up with 10 eastern conference teams in the top 16 while people complain that bad teams got in because they played an easier schedule with more eastern teams?

04 Pistons biggest upset in NBA history one of the best defenses ever
06 Heat Only team to come back from 0-2 in the finals(wade with some historic FT numbers too)*
08 Celtics one of the best defenses ever, the first FA assembled big 3
12/13 Heat. 3 HOF in their prime link up, never seen before

So in the last 17 years, 4 East teams have won the title and all of em were historic teams in some kind of way. Says a lot about how good the West is/was

2 best teams would make the finals and that's what matters

Cavs gonna run thru the East again next year

I think a "one and done" style competition will make the playoffs more significant...We already had an 82 game season, we don't need series in the playoffs...

I think teams just choose not to perform on the road...The mentality is "if we get one game, that is cool, but if we lose 2, we can still get them back home"...

If the players knew there were NO second chances, the games would be hard fought and more exciting...

There is ZERO buzz about the NBA Finals except among Basketball fans....Casual fans like me don't give a FCUK...

It is MORE entertaining for me to come to thecoli.com and read all the hilarious post-game commentary...

How are you sure of that? You could still have a situation where a good team gets injured and a team gets in by default. You could also still have the best teams face in an earlier round. In every major sport there are two leagues/divisions etc and the championship is between the two leagues and divisions. Is there really any value to changing the rules of the NBA just to try to keep LeBron out of the finals?

Celtics were lebrons only rival in the east. And he needed to team up with two other stars to finally beat them

Kyle Korver and Jeff Teague were all stars last year

The Celtics were a superteam themselves.
