the NBA regular season is almost over
I think it is a gross injustice how Memphis or Phoenix despite finishing over 10 games over .500 will miss the playoffs while losing record Atlanta gets in.
I will post what the playoffs would be under a "16 best teams regardless of conference system" on Thursday. Sooner or later the NBA has to admit their playoff system is flawed. I'd rather have one conference send more teams to the postseason than the other than to let something like what I described above happen.
Yeah, I can top that with one word: Milwaukee. To put it in perspective of how horrible they are, here are a few facts:
-as of right now, the Bucks have less than a quarter of the wins as first place Spurs (15 compared to 62)
-the 47 win difference between last and first is a current NBA record, beating out the old record by ten (TEN!)
-chances are some kid named Wiggins is going to very angry next year
