Jazz to Play in Mexico City December 15th

I don't get it, NBA doesn't want an unified playoff seed because of the wear of travel between east and west but is ok with some teams traveling to Ciudad de México, London, Rio de Janeiro, Beijing, etc.

So, travel because of fairness in competition is bad but travel because advertising and sales is good?

Yup... I was not excited about this announcement... this type of stuff can derail a season a bit and makes the rest of the schedule just a little more compacted. If we get more national TV games it will alleviate some of the compaction... in years past we didn't play on Thursdays because of the TNT monopoly and no Sunday home games.

That's not why they can't change playoff seeding.
