This is why I think they should just go ahead and go with the best 16 records make it in and throw away the conference alignments. Series are stretched out enough that travel shouldn't matter that much.

The funny thing is you have some pretty cumbersome distances within the respective conferences (TOR/Florida teams, Cali teams/Memphis, Minny, NO) and teams managed just fine AND they just changed the Finals back to 2, 2, 1, 1, 1. Really no excuse not to go 1-16.

It should be the best team regardless. The best matchups

Why couldn't we go with this

Saturday
Celtics at cavs 12 30
Mavs at rockets 3.30
Bucks at bulls 6
Pels at warriors 9

Sunday
Wiz at raps 1200
Nets at haws 300
Portland at memphis 5.30
Spurs at clippers 8

So let me guess this straight, you're mad because Celtics/Cavs is on ABC because you think it won't be competitive so your solution is to put Nets/Hawks in the timeslot they had? Despite the fact that the Hawks are better than the Cavs and the Nets are worse than the Celtics so the series will be probably be even more lopsided? :dwillhuh:

Nets can actually give the hawks some comp. Cleveland is sweeping boston.

The Nets played the Hawks four times this season, lost all four games by an average margin of 17, have an inferior coach, don't have any positional advantages and are below average on both ends while the Hawks are a top 10 offense and defense, but yet you think it'll be a competitive series :francis:

this reminds me of how it was back in the mid-00s.

they stretched it out to the point where i lost interest, and after a while, i lost interest in the nba as a whole because of it.

they pull this stuff when the weather breaks on top of that. instead of competing against the spring/summer, theyre basically encouraging people to turn the tv off.

:mindblown:

Nets have played much better down the stretch and brook is probably the best player in the series. Lionel Hollins has more experience and talent for talent the nets have more talent IMO.

Hawks will win the series, i don't think it's going to be a quick sweep. IMO
