never thougth we need a nother playoffsystem, coz things change over time!
is it already time?
For the last few years, the top Eastern teams have been able to compete, bt if you see the top 10 teams, the West is head and shoulders better with nice teams not making the playoffs, while they might have homecourt in the East if, they played there)...
Boozer-->East...makin Chicago a second tier contender...[+east]
Stat-->East...Phoenix should stay in the PO running but not much more...NY may have a chance to reach the playoffs (not even sure about that)...[+east]
Bron,Bosh,Wade-->joining forces in Miami...East looses 2 middle of the pack teams + its best team (CLE) and probably gains a new best team...[+/- zero]
Spurs and Boston get older...[+/- zero]
Overall the East should have improved a little bit, but with the power tied to only 3-4 teams, there is still a big dropoff come the places where Western teams might not nake it and Eastern teams get it on a silver plate.
top4:
East: BOS, MIA, ORL, CHI
West: LA, SA, DAL, OKC
...pretty good balance here
after that:
East: ATL + ???
West: DEN, POR, HOU, PHO, MEM (not sure about UTA and NO yet)
Might take one more year (Melo, Parker...Lakers finaly getting to old) to make balance it out more.
