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

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

I agree. The East has been awful since 1998...

What is there to think about...if you did this the Craptors would not even be in the playoffs right now and they are the 3rd seed in the East

I'm with it..... but it won't happen this year because there will be major fall out.... Next season.

it'll never work. The entire East coast wouldn't watch the playoffs.

Maaaaaaannnn just leave that shyt the way it is!!! I mean GOTDAMN.... If they gonna go that far them just destroy the whole conference and division thing.

No.

Figure out a way to make the league more balanced so one conference isn't always head and shoulders above the other one. Making it top 16 teams just further marginalizes the league's trash teams.
