Would you NBA fans like to see the playoffs seeded differently ?

I think it may be more interesting to just seed them 1 thru 16

Also like to see the first round of that format be best of 5

Reason I say this is, a Warriors / Spurs NBA finals would be awesome

I believe it's been brought before but I guess if they were going to go that route, they may as well rid of the divisions & conferences...

Would never happen. Division rivalries is big part of sports, and what keeps people watching for 82 games.

i would rather have fewer games and a single elimination tournament among non-seeded teams prior to playoffs for shot at the playoffs.

or

what if the non-seeded teams had a tournament to play for extra odds in the draft? i think that could be interesting as well bc lets face it, we're tired of seeing teams tank.

Would be nice to see 1 vs 16 and so on .... but will prob never happen. If someone can come up with way to satisfy the money hungry whores who run the system now, then we may see a change .... seeing the top two teams in the finals is what sport is all about.

I've always thought that the 25th team should get the number one and then go in order with 30th getting the second pick and so on. Then teams at the bottom wont lose on purpose.

I'm with you guys. You could honestly stop tanking by just giving every team the same number of ping pong balls and have a lottery for each pick.
