Cant wait many years from now to re-live the victory of Team Durant at the 2018 All star game over over Team Harden :scust:



many years from now i will be able to tell my grandchildren about how the power swung in favor of the Western Conference in the NBA and ill be to know that by reciting Team Durants win at the 2018 ASG :francis:

All we need now are jerseys with emojis and ghey ass personalized nicknames on them...

Great move :ehh:. East really had no shot in the foreseeable future. So not only do we have a better chance at a competitive game we have extra intrigue and fukkery potential. It's gonna be interesting to see how Bron and Steph play it. They should televise it. It would really be cool if they did the shyt right before the game like actually pick up.

Impossible because of time zones.

If they start and end the season earlier it can happen. Start regular season Oct 1. End regular season in late march. Playoffs start April 1. Every round 2-3-2 format so there is less travel and there'd be 2 off days when changing locations. They can even make it 3 days if its cross country thats why you start the playoffs 2 weeks earlier than usual.


they gotta find a way to do it if baseball can have playoffs with teams in different time zones

Not really. The Finals manages just fine. You already got the early rounds stretched out anyway. Last but not least the overwhelming majority of the league, regardless of conference, plays in the eastern/central time zones.

You cant do 1/16 because it wont be a balanced schedule because of time zones...Theres no integrity to that set up unless all teams play each other the same number of times home and road.

I dont mean the playoff series but you will have teams in the West finishing closer to 15/16 because they have to play the Warriors more than they do the Magic...

Unless you have an equal schedule for everyone playing the same number of times home and road you wont see a 1/16 playoff structure...so basically you would have to eliminate conferences and have one 32 team division...
