The NBA really needs to realign these conferences

[Jparker]

nikka what earth are you looking at, Milwaukee is more east than Nola, Nola sits on the Mississippi, that is on the Mississippi River. Milw aint nowhere near that. New Orleans historically been the west, they need to man up and shut up, Memphis too.

Relax nikka we talking about realigning conferences I know Mil is a bit more east that Nola..

Mil is up the block from Chicago.. Nola is def more east than all of the west teams

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

if you made a straight line from NO up, you would end up somewhere to the west of Madison. New Orleans and St. Louis used to be looked at as gateways to the west, and everything west of the river has been considered the west.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

Eh, New Orleans in the West is a stretch, but it's reasonable. But Memphis never made any sense

 

[@OffHalsted]

Wolves, Pels, Grizz are Eastern teams

the solution to a top 16 team playoff is go to a 2-3-2 format for all rounds.

games 1 and 2 will have a day break between games.

games 2 and 3 will have a 2 day break for traveling in between games

games 3 4 and 5 will have a 1 day break between games

games 5 and 6 will have a 2 day break between games for travel

games 6 and 7 will have a 1 day break between games.

simple

 

[GunRanger]

Add Seattle and vancouver or vegas franchises


Move memphis and NO to the East.

two big problems

1. TV (the major issue)

2. if the problem comes up, arena availability.

i think arena availability is the biggest issue as we seen with the celtics and bruins this week

tv is paying the nba to show their product so they're going to do whatever the nba says. lol

the 2-3-2 allows extra rest between travel days and players should be fully rested and rejuvenated for the most part.

 

[Listen]

if your focus is on travel, there are 4 swing teams in the Central time zone:

Chicago
Milwaukee
Memphis
New Orleans

I could see Chicago and Milwaukee going west and Memphis and NO for the east.

nikka said Memphis could've been in the Finals if they were in the East during the Grind City days...

 

[Mensch Fontana]

Playoffs would be the top 16 teams ranked by record.

This is all we need

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

[Young Fab]
