Should NBA do away with the conferences?
Question:Should NBA do away with the conferences? Seems like the east with its subpar teams gets to coast through the playoffs until they have to play the western conference champs. The Western teams have to play harder during the season (they play more games each other) and through out the play offs. By the time they finally reach the finals they are exhausted, point in case Mavs last year. If you look at the record out of the six teams with 50+ wins only one was in the east. I think that the NBA should pair every team by their record, i.e. 1st seed plays the 16th seed, 2nd-15th, 3rd-14th and so on.
This way teams dont get rewarded or penalized for being in a weaker or stronger conference.
What do y'all think.

It would look something like that but with no upsets, only the top seeds advancing to next round but you get the picture. I personally think San Antonio would win it all but i'm just going by seeds. And this is all going by regular season records, the best record with the 1 seed and the worst record with the 16 seed.
Does anyone think the the Dallas Mavericks will get the great Shaquille O'Neal!?
i know west has the best teams, put Dallas or San Antonio in east!!I just think that they whole playoff thing lasts too long. It gets old.
Will Steve Nash be able to bounce back from his injury in time to save the Suns ?
I'd rather see them do away with the NBA, national basketbrawl association! If I want to watch a fight, I'll watch hockey. Somewhere around the time Shaq showed up, the ref's forgot it's suppose to be NO CONTACT.Who do u thinks gonna retire next?
hmmm, you have a point. but i still think conferences will make the game more excitingMore Questions & Answers...
