The Lakers dominated the western conference playoffs, we didn’t hear a peep about a 1-16. They dominate the first 2 games of the finals and all we heard was we need a 1-16 format. Then the Heat won game 3....what dis mean?
uhhhhThe Lakers dominated the western conference playoffs, we didn’t hear a peep about a 1-16. They dominate the first 2 games of the finals and all we heard was we need a 1-16 format. Then the Heat won game 3....
uhhhh
thats not why people were saying a 1 -16 format
it was for the meddling under .500 teams in the east that were making the playoffs as 6-8th seeds while the those 6th - 10th seeds in the WC were only separated by like a game or two but had winning records
im slightly exaggerating but my point still remains
the top seeds have never been in question
Miami may have overachieved by some people's standards, but they beat all the top seeded teams that they faced in the EC playoffs. They have earned their right to be in the finals.
1-16 would be a disaster.
imagine a LA vs NYK first round
It would be so many days off between games due to travel
You acting like niggas flying over to china. That's a 4 hour flight. They wouldn't need anymore downtime than they already get.
LA to NY is a 4 hour flight? Naw.
You have to take time zones into it too.
So I’m making up what I’m saying?uhhhh

so the knicks havent made the playoffs in what...over a decade?1-16 would be a disaster.

im not saying you're making it up...what im saying is, whoever is trying to use that as an opposition to 1-16 is not smart when it comes to basketball.So I’m making up what I’m saying?
In an era where both conferences are balanced? I could understand this a decade or so ago.1-16 needs to happen
Huh? Their point was the Heat getting destroyed in the first 2 games was proof we need 1-16.im not saying you're making it up...what im saying is, whoever is trying to use that as an opposition to 1-16 is not smart when it comes to basketball.
you want teams with best records. Period
not teams that make it due to the rest of their conference bein butt
just reseed the shit after you get the top 16.
Travel not an issue anyway with the current playoff format
again...not smart at basketballHuh? Their point was the Heat getting destroyed in the first 2 games was proof we need 1-16.
Confirmation biasagain...not smart at basketball
the heat losing has nothing to do from a competitive standpoint.
edit:
5th...i see the confusion after rereading a post i made
i dont think they need 1-16 just because the heat lost and im curious as to how that person or people came to that conclusion

now what are you talking aboutConfirmation bias
Confirmation bias is when you believe something and then that something happens which in theory proves your bias. If they think the East is weak and a western conference team dominates an eastern conference team through 2 games then that confirms their bias.now what are you talking about
oh i thought you were saying that's what I was doingConfirmation bias is when you believe something and then that something happens which in theory proves your bias. If they think the East is weak and a western conference team dominates an eastern conference team through 2 games then that confirms their bias.
