The NBA's playoffs setup is such a joke right now.

If a team makes the playoffs in the East 10 games below .500 they should give half their playoff revenue to the 9th or 10th place team in the West. Kinda like the luxury tax penalty that gets divided among the owners. It'd be a "i just got lucky being from the East coast" penalty.

the playoff format conference is a joke

they complain about playoff scedules?

some of these teams own private jets or charters, which doesnt cost much.....

Kings sure would make it in the East, they are by far a better team than the Nets, it hurts to see Nets in the playoffs with 20-27.

The Pistons and Celtics won't even be challenged until round two...meanwhile in the west any of the low seeds can beat any of the top seeds.

I think if you put McGee back then, he would get those blocks just as easily as Russell did. Russell's athleticism was well ahead of the players of his time, and that's about it.

The East should have an NIT Championship.
