What if the NBA worked like college football...

Spurs beat the Lakers beat the Celtics

Are the Spurs the best team in the league in a BCS world?

If the NBA worked like college football the Cavs and Lakers would play for the championship and the Spurs/Magic/Celtics would play in meaningless exhibition games.

(BCS sucks)

I get all tingly inside just thinking about it.

no... remember Texas beat Oklahoma, OK beat Tech, and Tech barely squeaked by Texas. Therefore, Oklahoma gets to play in the finals. (huh?)

If the NBA was like the BCS we'd skip all the playoffs except for the finals, and the finals would be selected by some combination of coaches and media polls and power rankings.
