NBA Commissioner Adam Silver recently announced a proposal where the 16 teams would be one single playoffs match regardless of the conferences. Yes, a new playoffs format where 16 teams will be bracketed at each other.
What does this mean?
E.g. Let's say top seed would be Warriors, they will be matched on the team that will take the last playoffs spot. So the format will now be, 1 vs 16 , 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14 and so on...
Unfair or will be fair? My thoughts is, just leave the Playoffs format on what it is today.
I don't like the proposal, the current system is working well and this already brings a lot of fun to us lovers of this game.
The East and West should be highlight and they should meet in the Finals so they can bring a lot of fun.
Is he also the one who changes the All Star format?
The All-Star proposal was made by NBA and the players itself. Im not sure who is behind the original idea but after some talks, NBA made it official as NBA players lead by Chris Paul agreed also with the proposal.
Talking with the new proposal for playoffs format, lots of East teams will surely can't sealed a playoffs spots as we all know that sometimes, the record for 8th spot on the West can be placed at 4th spot on the East.
Let's wait for some feedbacks on the players regarding this. As far as reports is concerned, only LeBron James currently gave a feedback about it.
