The Cavs are about to go to the NBA finals having lost no games

>The Cavs are about to go to the NBA finals having lost no games
>Meanwhile the West had 3 teams better than any team in the East

How do we fix this shit?

You can't. Superstars are scared to play in the East with LeBron and Wade. It's a playoff death sentence.

have Kevin Durant sign with somewhere in the east

Wizards please

Deal away with East/West divide in the playoffs.

16 best teams get in and get seeded #1 to #16.

In this scenario the Cavs would face Portland/Detroit in the 1st round (cba working out tie breakers), winner of Clippers/Pacers in the 2nd round and one of Spurs/Miami/Charlotte/Memphis (most likely Spurs) in the Conference Finals. Much more balanced.

KD is Lebron's bitch though

Cut him some slack. He's retarded.

this

Why do they even have the stupid conference system? Just have a ladder for the regular season, and the top 16 teams get seeded and go to playoffs.

Because of travel. In a 7 game series where the home court switches 4 times, traveling east to west coast sucks

Switch 1st round back to best of 5 and give more rest in later rounds

>7 game series
Why do the playoffs need to be so fucking long?

Why can't the whole thing just be best of 3?

You see as a basketball fan that would make sense, but the good jews need to make their money so that means more games, better timeslots, etc

Longer view means more ratings mate.
Thanks for Matt dirtiest player Delly.

1. Warriors
2. Spurs
3. Cavs
4. Raptors
5. Thunder

lol

'no'

Lebron is retiring soon.

But I mean it wont fix the east since it's not like Lebron is the reason the east is shit, he's just so much better than them

Just wait the West will get weaker or the East will grow stronger. It just happens.

Northern/Southern conference.

we've been waiting for that for almost 20 years now

You think 2025 is soon?

>im-fucking-plying

Pls do us a solid and bounce the Thunder, Warriors.

>Raptors are about to go to the NBA finals having played three seven-match series.
>Meanwhile Warriors cruise to the finals, with just two games lost while Curry was out.

How do we fix this shit?

get rid of conferences

The Raptors had their two stars have historically bad playoff series too and they still managed to advance.

one conference is just better than the other for a while. It'll turn eventually and the East will make the West their bitches overall.

Football analogy - the Buffalo Bills once went to the Super Bowl four times in a row and lost all of them. Why? Because their conference (the AFC) was practically JV league compared to the other (the NFC). They had one realistic chance at winning at least one, and they blew it when their kicker shanked a FG try on the last play. The score? 20-19. They then proceeded to dominate the AFC and then promptly get slaughtered in the Super Bowl three more years in a row.
