Title: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: Dave Gray on February 20, 2013, 12:25:19 am I can't believe we're only at the halfway mark. I feel like if the playoffs started now, it would be perfect. We already know which teams are contenders. Too many games, unfortunately.

Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: Brian Fein on February 20, 2013, 08:35:46 am There are 80-something games because the owners make millions each game. Not because they need 80-something games to determine the best team.
I agree, there are too many games. Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: el diablo on February 20, 2013, 09:17:57 am If the playoffs started now, it would deprive today's kids of the cherished memories I had. Actually being to stay up to watch The Finals. Because they happened during summer break.

Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: Dave Gray on February 20, 2013, 11:05:07 am I think that the NBA season should start about a month later than it does. 66 games felt pretty right, actually.

Post by: Brian Fein on February 21, 2013, 10:02:42 am I think that the NBA season should start about a month later than it does. 66 games felt pretty right, actually. It would probably be a 20-35 million dollar hit for each owner to remove 20-something games from the season. Don't think the league can do that without MAJOR push back from the owners, just to randomly appease fans.Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now.

Not because they need 80-something games to determine the best team. Same could be said for hockey and baseball. Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now.

And the same reason why OWNERS are pushing to make the an NFL 18 game season.Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: Dave Gray on February 21, 2013, 02:21:05 pm It would be cool if there were 2 NBA seasons in a year. Like a Summer league and a Winter League.
Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: Phishfan on February 21, 2013, 03:14:05 pm ^^^ Technically there is Summer League NBA action. It goes unnoticed because it is basically rookies and bench players getting experience in what I would call an exhibition format.
Title: Re: I feel like the NBA playoffs should start now. Post by: el diablo on April 19, 2013, 11:09:56 pm Well, Dave. Now you get your wish. The playoffs start tomorrow. Since the Magic finished dead last in the NBA (no surprise there), I get to sit back & watch the Spurs shock the world. And by shock the world, I mean make it past the 1st round. If there's anything worse than Sports Media Kobe Love. It's Sports Media Laker sans Kobe Love.
