If the NBA was smart, it introduces 1-16 playoffs now. No more East Coast vs West Coast.
No one wants to see Lakers vs Clippers in the early rounds. Especially with player movement disrupting balance. _________________ Formerly OC Lakerfan |

I would think they still have East and West for television schedules moreso than competitive balance, since the East hasn’t been competitive in over 20 years. |

I agree with 1-16 but I think Philly and the Bucks will be right in the mix. Eventually Brooklyn too. |

I wish they would allow other networks to broadcast the NBA Finals, similar to the Superbowl. The fact that it's always ESPN really annoys me. I don't like their announcers and they way they broadcasts the games. I bet if NBC/TNT/FOX had the rights their presentation/broadcast of the finals would be far superior to ESPN and probably lead to higher ratings. _________________ "Bryant to Shaq" |

Well, if the other networks held the TV rights they would probably have a say in the matter. NBC and CBS don't show NBA games anymore, FOX only had NBA games thru their RSN's. As long as ABC/ESPN pays the big bucks for NBA programming they will get the Finals. Seeing as how much programming ESPN dedicates to the NBA, I don't think that will be changing anytime soon. |
