You should get you one of them newfangled picture boxes where you can change the channel without getting out of yer rockin' chair.

Split screen FTW.

 

[The Q]

Do we think if the nba re-seeded each round that there might be less load management?

Even if only a little?

Yeah. I feel sheepish saying this but fuck if I wouldn’t love a re-seed right about now haha. Let’s get real creative and now let’s reseed everybody East and West.

Celtics vs Lakers
Sixers vs Warriors
Nuggets vs Heat
Knicks vs Suns

Or
Celtics vs Heat
Sixers vs Knicks
Nuggets vs Lakers
Suns vs Warriors

But no such luck.

I think if you beat a team you deserve their spot. I hope they don’t change it.

Agree. I’m purely self interest on this one haha despite there being no chance in hell. Just flapping my gums as per usual.

Do you think football and baseball should do it that way too? I prefer this way also.

I think football is the only one that reseeds. I just like that when the playoffs starts you have a set bracket and if you win you keep going in that bracket. I guess reseeding puts more of an emphasis on the regular season.

I wouldn't mind a true cross-conference initial seeding though (if they balanced the reg season schedules more).

20 point triple double pulling some near Willis Reed shit due to injury. Hell of a job by the young man.

Had a ridiculous dream last night. Sixers vs Heat in the ECF. Game 1 in Philly. Teams are introduced and they’re taking the court for the tip. In a true WWE switchero, Jimmy Butler tears off his Heat jersey to reveal the Sixers 23 jersey he was wearing underneath. Buckets and Embiid go on to win the NBA title. As Adam Silver is attempting to present the Larry OBrien Trophy, Butler sneaks behind him and shanks his pants while Embiid nestles him in a head lock and gives Silver noogies on his bald dome for two minutes as the Sixers crowd erupts with chants of Trust The Process!

I would be surprised to see that matchup in the ECF...the rest

Can it be called a masterclass when Giannis scores 38 despite all those missed free throws? He could've had 50 if his hand was healthy.

I'm a believer in reseeding, the regular season is meaningless enough, the teams with the better records should be rewarded. The Knicks as the 5th seed should not be home and the Sixers at 3 shouldn't be on the road right now.

Reseeding or not does not affect home court. The team with the better record gets home court always. I guess you are saying that the Sixers should now be in the 2 spot and not playing the Celtics yet? If so I disagree.

If you're worried about the value of the regular season, the play in games need to go before any reseeding talk.
