I predict that the 3rd seed in the NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs this year will have a losing record - anyone agree? This is ridiculous. The fact that this is possible shows what a flawed ranking system the NBA currently has.

Yea, it's very possible but they have to do that to keep regional interest. At least there's playoffs... It's not really the NBA's fault, that's how it is with the NFL, NHL, and MLB. Some years, there are just certain divisions that are bad. Look at the St. Louis Cardinals. They went 83-79 and went on to win the world series. If they were in the AL, they wouldn't have made the playoffs.

the NBA playoff schedule is just a farce. 16 teams make the playoffs... lol? It reminds me of playing in little kid rec leagues (any sport) where every team makes the playoffs so that the kids don't feel bad.
NFL and MLB are also bad, but not nearly to the extent of how bad the NBA setup is. At least in the NFL there are only 12 teams, and 4 get a very important round 1 bye, and only 8 make it in baseball.
I pretty much don't watch the NBA at all except the occasional cavs game and late-round playoff games basically because the system is such a joke that it's hard to get into it.

Why watch a whole basketball game. They're always decided in last 2 minutes.

At least teams in the NBA are playing for something (last spot, home-court adv, etc), 1/2 the MLB is out by the all-star break.

Sox yankee rivalry is fun. The sooner the EPL becomes mainstream in America the sooner we can keep NBA from clogging up espn.

So true, I can't even stand to watch the NBA until the 2nd round of the playoffs.

Seriously though...
Basketball players play for:
a) love of the game
b) that new sneaker deal

I thought the season started right after the NCAA tourney??
TiVoing basketball makes a big difference, it at least allows me to watch some playoff games.

I get a kick out of watching pretty much any Suns game (i would have steve nash's babies if i could). But I agree that i don't get much enjoyment out of watching random bball games. That and my Raptors freakin' suck.
