This would be changing something that IS broken, so what's the point of your post?

Bump. Atlanta and Charlotte should not be in the playoffs when Dallas would be 3rd in the East.
[QUOTE=kuniva_dAMiGhTy]Figures. Only Heat fans would be against this. :roll:[/QUOTE]
Funny. The OP explicitly wants this change because he believes this a way to "expose" the Heat. This is the reasoning he gave. The Heat.
So if someone at your job wants to change company policy only because they specifically believe it will "expose" you (basically targeting you), are you inclined to support that proposal?
lol imagine the travel involved in that LA - TOR matchup
2-2-1-1-1 wouldnt work for that series.

Why is Portland - New Orleans any better?
[QUOTE=Sarcastic]Nope. The NBA already does the best job of crowning the rightful champion. [B]There are no flukes, unlike pretty much every other major sport. [/B]A hot pitcher or hot goalie can't carry you to a title, nor is it decided by one and done like the Super Bowl or NCAA.[/QUOTE]
This is why I especially hate the NFL. The entire season is irrelevant because one hot game by a inferior team can make them the champion. You just have to be in the right place at the right time. A championship is meaningless.
Wish this would happen to would make the playoffs more fun to watch.

But does the NFL have any other choice? Are they going to have best of 3 series?
But I do agree. Inferior teams can win the Superbowl in the NFL. That's why being a 6th seed may not be all that bad given their recent track record.

Apples and bowling balls. Try making a point that applies here.

Try and see past this, you've been given a ton of arguments that have nothing to with the Heat or any other team specifically, but you cling to this so bad.

Didnt say anything about that brah
that wouldnt work either :biggums:
But first the pelicants have to make top 16

[B]And...that is the reason why Heat fans would oppose it. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to reason that fans of the franchise the OP intents to adversely affect would oppose the change.[/B]

both teams are in the west so it is likely to happen sometime in the future... and what about memphis vs la... thats pretty much across the whole country as well and that happens every year

No. Actually you didn't...unless you think being a little bitch suffices?

Even if the Heat did not exist, I see little reason to change the current format. You are going to get the same result at the end of the day: the champion. Whether by eliminating conferences or leaving it the same...
Jordan's Bulls still win
Shaq/Kobe Laker's still win
Duncan's Spurs still win
Detroit still wins
Lebron's Heat still win
Dirk's Mavs still win
Boston? Nope, they still win
What changes? Who suddenly fails to become a champion? Jordan because he had to face another western conference opponent?
And there is a reason that ALL professional leagues use the current system rather than a single conference set up. Chief among them is that you create geographical rivalries that you are FAR more likely to get in the current format.
