This needs to happen discuss.

Your reseeded first round for 2015: Warriors-Celtics (1/16), Hawks-Bucks (2/15), Rockets-Thunder (3/14), Clippers-Pelicans (4/13), Grizzlies-Wizards (5/12), Spurs-Raptors (6/11), Cavs-Mavs (7/10), Blazers-Bulls (8/9)

Does that honestly look much better than what we have now?

If they are extending the season by a couple of weeks and with modern travel, why do we have conferences?

Spurs would rip the Raptors to shreds.

all this fuss about seeding is based on what??? the thunder not making it???

Spurs and clippers problems are more because of the stupid division winner gets top 4 seed rule.

We'd have shittier match-ups and instead of Brooklyn, we'd have OKC. Not that big of a difference really.

I'm talking about going forward not just this year.

Why? The bottom of the West really isn't as good as people make it out to be. Truth is there are about 3-4 teams in the West that can legitimately win, and 2 teams in the East that can legitimately win. They'd be making huge changes (which affect a lot more aspects than you think) over a few teams that are/were not contenders anyway.

The Pelicans/OKC aren't much better than Nets/Boston....

Go on......

Only people against it are East teams fans. Any rational unbiased person would like the best teams in the playoffs for better games and series

So? They wouldn't beat the Cavs/Bulls/Hawks in the first round either.

The first round would be a foregone conclusion either way. The real match ups wouldn't come until the 2nd round...just like now.

I'm sure if we ended up with say a GS vs LAC finals, everyone on the east coast would stay up late to watch.



Likewise, if we ended up with 2 EC teams in the finals, I'm sure everyone on the west would leave work early to tune in.

The Finals games are the same time no matter who plays
