    Looking over the nba this season and I have to say this is the worst season that I have seen as far as overall talent and good teams in this League. Lots of blowouts and poor play. No defense being played. Stern has been successful in giving fans some of the worst play in the history of the game.

    1/3 of the NBA teams are Good, 1/3 of the NBA teams are Bad, and 1/3 of the NBA teams are just plain Ugly! That's what we have in today's NBA!

    And this one of the worst East ever. Anybody who makes the East really has a legit shot at coming out and making the Finals.

    I agree I don't really like what the NBA has turned into the last couple of years. It's just not the same as it used to be. Screw Stern.

    "anyone who makes the playoffs period has a good shot at making the finals"

    History says this just isn't true, even CBA/post-salary capping.

    The Finalists are almost ways taken from the top 4 seeds in each conference.

    I'm sure you highly doubted it last year too, but
    history will repeat itself.

    Dallas' style of play was adaptable for the Heat, but not for us. We dont have a Dirk stopper like Haslem, and Manu isn't as good as Wade on the offensive end

    No doubt. I've been raving over the Lakers improvement this year and I must say that I never thought that they would be where they are now. I saw another year of playing together. I now realize it is not that the Lakers had a miraculous improvement (because that is not the case. They still turn the ball over too much and they haven't got their defense together yet, but who knew that they would win so many games while learning to play together) it is that the league is so weak right now and that there are so many pathetic teams in the league that the lakers can win games without Kobe or Lamar.

    Too many teams dilutes the talent.

    There aren't (8-player rotation x 30 teams) = 240 quality players good enough to make compe ive, watchable games, nor enough quality coaches and GMs to run 30 orgs.

    Keep the 82-game schedule but teams same-conference play each other 8 times, and other-conference teams 4 times.

    There is talent for 20 teams max, maybe 15.

    Every team has 3-6 players who contribute nothing, aren't really NBA players, never will be, never have been, but they're making $1M+ year.

    Reduce the number of teams and send half league down to a NBDL system, which itself is really weak. How many NBDL players break into NBA every year? How many every will?

    NBA is a business, a cartel. Like every business, esp cartels, it sells the tiest product possible for the highest price.
