Silver considering playoff format of top 16 teams instead of 8 per conference

[Regular_P]

breh football is the #1 sport for a reason nobody cares about the smaller market teams for 82 games no marketing that plus the NBA is built on star power while the NFL is the greatest one week event for 16-20 weeks on TV. When is the last time YOU watched a raptors and bobcat game or a wizard and bucks game.

I have League Pass. I'm watching Toronto, Washington and Charlotte. No one wants to see the Bucks just like I wasn't checking for Texans, Jags or Falcons games during the last NFL season. If you're trash, no one's watching outside of local fans.

Ya'll act like the whole east is trash

Heat
Pacers
Raptors
Bulls
Nets
Wizards
Bobcats


Are all legitimate squads

that can compete with west teams

 

[Ill-Mind]

Yes, please do that Silver, would be great for the league

 

[red222]

There are only 4 legit title contenders this year anyway no different than last year. There is no need to change the format.

 

[smARTmouf]

I'm okay with it....Get ya weight up East ....

 

[Luke Cage]

im not even mad....no reason for these under .500 teams to make the playoffs

we actually only got one under .500 team in the east playoff picture this year.
bobcats are over .500

 

[DeVanteSwing]

have a 1 game sudden death playoff for the last few spots, like baseball

it's our only chance at an upset during the nba playoffs

 

[Oville]

This would be fukking great

BUMP. There is no reason at all to keep this inane E v W format. NBA is swimming in loot, they can afford extra airfare for intermingled playoffs.

That's retarded.

 

[Take_Note]

My dad is a HUGE Jazz fan and I think this gives them better shots getting playoff appearances. I'd be happy for this for my dad

Would be horrible, imagine 2 games Eastern standard time then two games starting 1030pm?

It's not a big deal, the games were simultaneous before the TNT era. Just watch on multiple screens. Multitask.

Change it to the national and American conference. Decrease the games to 56
