2016-17 NBA PLAYOFFS THREAD

Simple fix there, not perfect, reward the by best non playoff qualifying record and go in order from best record on down. Forces teams not to tank, at least until the last few weeks. Likely prevents what the Spurs did to get TD from happening.

Nah, it'll be a farce. You'll have the 6th-8th seed all competing there way out of the playoffs to get the 9th seed...

No. We've acknowledged we could probably get white dudes and internationals.

How did we get Joe Johnson?

 

[elan_prodigy]

Maybe play around with the %'s in the Lottery...

We sure as **** didn't draft him.

Actually the Spurs getting swept is good for the Jazz and the Hayward situation. It makes our sweep seem less bad.

Poor Cy, having to deal with all of that idiocy. smh. Soldier on, dude. Soldier on.

Smart GMs aren't complaining about the system and demanding changes. The smart ones are the ones who make it work to their advantage. After Utah traded Deron, KOC could have set the team up for not only a quick rebuild, but a STACKED rebuild similar to what Ainge has done. It just takes the guts to trade away certain players while they still have value. You target teams with owners who are desperate to compete immediately and you can build a team that will compete for a decade or longer.

KOC made the first move correctly in trading away Deron, but then for whatever reason, be it ownership direction or just a not having the cojones to pull something controversial, he completely botched what could have been a grand slam by not selling Alsap at the right time.

I think a smart GM would do what they could, within reason, to get the rules to change in their favor if they saw an opportunity.
