doubt anyone wld care too much abt this from an entertainment standpoint half the teams already make the playoffs and the first round is usually a snooze but it might be good from the pov of keeping teams in the playoff race/encourage late season competitive play and decrease tanking http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/22542306/zach-lowe-real-possibility-nba-playoffs-play-tournament

it wld be cool if there was play in tournament for all the teams then if you had the best team u cld rest yr good players most of the year get the worst record and the number one draft pick then win the play in tournament and the nba finals

the correct number of teams to make a sport playoff is 1/3rd of the league imho, but sometimes its not possible because of scheduling and maths
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 February 2018 17:21 (six years ago) link
seems clear that they need to do *something* with the playoff bubble teams though not sure it's this exactly. simmons was going through his play-in tournament idea on a pod recently and was proposing some outside compensation for the winner--like a guaranteed high second-round pick and a trade exception for the next season. they would never do it but i think ideas like that would motivate some teams more than a chance to just be the 8 seed.

the "16-teams-with-no-regard-for-conference" thing sounds great, but a better solution to this problem would be for the Eastern Conference to just get its shit together
― piper at the gates of d'awwww (voodoo chili), Thursday, 22 February 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
this year, anyway, it doesn't feel like there is such a gap in power between the two conferences. the two best teams are in the West, yes, but besides maybe the Thunder, I think the East's 3-8 is very comparable to the West's lower tier of playoff contenders.
― piper at the gates of d'awwww (voodoo chili), Thursday, 22 February 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link
thing is even if both conferences were similarly competent just on a random distribution 50% of the season the two best teams will be in the same conference, which to me is the biggest issue, i want the best teams to have a shot to play against each other in the finals
― lag∞n, Thursday, 22 February 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link
right

there is definitely a solid gap, but the size of the gap is always obscured by the fact that the west teams have to play against each other more often and vice versa
― k3vin k., Thursday, 22 February 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link
fair point
