    So the whole ranking thing on basketball reference confused me. I organized it by wins, which made the standings disregard tiebreakers and what not. I'm not sure if you can organize by standings, but if you can that's how this should've been done which would've switched Cleveland and Toronto around.
    Fuck
    Anyways, I'm dead tired. 7 days left in school, retarded schedule. I'm probably not gonna post until it's over, but if all goes well, I think I'll return with a case for GOAT for my first vid of summer

      Dom2k I think that this would be the best rule change ever. I'm glad to hear that you think that the grizzlies and the spurs is the best series of this year's first round. For my case it sucks because the grizzlies and the spurs are my favorite teams and it feels like they always play each other in the first round in recent years. Also, I think that's a major reason why the grizzlies don't get the respect they deserve. Mike Conley been showing out. #GrindHouse #Kawhi4MVP

      Central time zone teams would end up having a considerable advantage over their west and east coast adversaries. Especially come playoff time

    • @stickyone11
      @stickyone11 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      in turn making reg season more entertaining imho! and making playoffs/finals even more intense! I think this would be better

    • @Nkosinati
      @Nkosinati 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ...I agree! And it would actually be fair, especially for lower seeds in the west (e.g. Memphis) who are getting screwed by the present conference setup... TIME TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN

  • @Dom2k16
    @Dom2k16  7 ปีที่แล้ว +319

    As for the Blazers being ranked 17th, I couldn't for the life of me figure out why basketball reference had it that way. According to them, Miami would make the playoffs in this setup, however the Blazers swept the season series against Miami. They are tied in record, and both own the same seed in their divisions in 3rd place. So as far as I know, their season series should break the tie giving it to Portland. However, if the season series was also tied, then I have no clue how the NBA goes about breaking that.
    Anyways, hope you enjoyed the video. Just thought it'd be interesting to see what these playoffs would look like in the setup that we all want. I was focusing less on who would actually win some of these since it's hypothetical, but still fun nonetheless.

      Dom2k because you were purely ranking them from wins not for standing, as all the tiebreakers are different when Toronto win the tiebreaker over Cleveland etc.

      Nah nigga. The Kid from Akron kicked their ass last year they went crying for another superstar. And KD the bitch chose the Warriors over WASHINGTON (hometown) so he could avoid the East and not play the King early in the playoffs. Than man would cook him like he has his whole career

    Lol dom2k called the new Conference Finals the 3rd round.
    Tbh would probably follow a soccer naming format: Round of 16, quarterfinals, semifinals, Finals

    • @RafPos13
      @RafPos13 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Matt the Backwards One in Europe and euroleague this year for the first time we didn't had groups and 15 teams played its other 2 times(a total of 30 games) the 8 best gp through and play a series(in Europe is best of five)and then you go to final four(I think NCCA is like that too) and play only one match to go though the final wich is one match too

  • @paulozhan
    @paulozhan 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The main issue here seems to be that if there were no conferences, then probably the number of times each team would play each one of the other 29 teams during the regular season would also change. There would be less intradivision, and I can definitely see teams like the Pelicans make it to the top 16 if they don't have to play the Grizzlies, the Spurs and the Rockets 4 times a season.
    So the table would be vastly different.

  • @4bluesti
    @4bluesti 7 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I think the biggest problem with this format is the finals would be lackluster. There's something appealing about the best east team facing the best west team. If it's two east teams or two west teams, it loses appeal because they play each other so often throughout the regular season..

  • @rayme4500
    @rayme4500 7 ปีที่แล้ว +130

    I think they should use conferences to schedule the regular season but organize the teams 1-16 in the playoffs.

      But then a top tier east team (Cavs) would have a higher chance of a better record than a top tier west team (GSW/Spurs) because they have more games against the struggling conference

    @jayiix 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You could fix the travel time by making the series a best of 5 with a 3-2 format. The team with the better record has the first 3 games at home.. And provide maybe 3-4 days to travel between game 3 and game 4&5
    Only the finals should be a best of 7

    Does Lebron have to be a perfect human being in order not to be hated? I never understood all these unwarranted hate and criticism on Lebron. You don't have to like Lebron as a player. You don't have to accept Lebron's greatness but can't we all respect how Lebron is by far the most dedicated NBA superstar in history who never got himself into any serious troubles throughout his career despite his tough upbringing and extremely high expectations from the media? I mean seriously, Lebron never raped anybody like Kobe or had gambling problems like MJ but for whatever fuckin reasons, he's always getting criticized for every little things. It's insane how Lebron always get blamed for everything when the only thing that he has ever done wrong is his underwhelming performance in NBA Finals 2011.
    1) MJ/Magic/Bill Rusell always made it to Finals, nobody ever gives a fuck. But now you want conferences to be eliminated simply because Lebron made it to Finals every year?
    2) Coach Pop got praised for his 'smart' move of resting players in regular seasons. But guess what? The fans and media went fuckin insane when Lebron started following Coach Pop's resting strategy.
    3) Most people make fun of Lebron's 3-4 Finals record and they choose to ignore the fact that winning a championship is a TEAM ACCOMPLISHMENT. You all are the ones who overvalue NBA championship title so why the fuck are you all complaining about Lebron coasting in regular seasons when NBA championship is clearly all it matters?

    @justlookaroundpeople 7 ปีที่แล้ว +163

    It would make the playoffs longer and worse due the excessive travelling can you imagine the clippers playing a 7 game series with washington for example the winning team would be wrecked tired and probably accumulate injuries which mike korzembe showed in one of his videos is becoming a serious problem for playoff teams, there's a reason the grizzlies relocated to memphis. In theory it's a great idea but it just wouldn't be practical. Conferences are here to stay for time being.

  • @jeollim
    @jeollim 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I guess one way to ignore the travelling thing of concern would be have the east and west present as a way for assigning matchups in the allstar weekend and to simplify matches to have less effect on player but the conferences get removed in the playoffs and the 1 - 16 gets used

  • @MRDY4322
    @MRDY4322 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think for the traveling issue for the no conferences format, the NBA should do series like the MLB. Instead of flying somewhere and leaving the next night, only to be back in two weeks, you play all of your road games against a specific team consecutively over a few nights. This eliminates all of the traveling that would be created

    For the traveling and timing of an NBA without conferences, the NBA should spread out games and change to a best of five series, but that isn't going to happen because the NBA just wants more money from more games being watched.

    Add 2 more teams, Seattle and somewhere like Pittsburgh or Cincinnati or San Diego. 32 teams in the league, each team plays one home game and one away game, that's a total of a 62 game season. That's fewer games, which makes travel easier and allows players to get more rest in between games and it's also a balanced schedule. At the end of the regular season, the top 16 teams go in the bracket like Dom has. The draft lottery is abolished, and it's just W-L record with PPG differential as tie breakers. Teams should be able to tank if they want to tank.

    You right about the western conference finals being the actual finals in this scenario. Last year OKC would have played GSW in the finals for sure.

  • @16bassline
    @16bassline 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think they should keep divisions to help with the travel issue during the regular season. at the end of the year, you get division banners and all, but then it'll go the best 16 for the playoffs

  • @Jrsmith416
    @Jrsmith416 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    i get what you're saying and i agree but your seeding is wrong it would like this
    (1) GSW - (16) POR
    (8) UTAH - (9) WASH
    (5) CAVS - (12) MEM
    (4) BOS - (13) MIL
    (3) HOU - (14) IND
    (6) LAC - (11) ATL
    (7) TOR - (10) OKC
    (2) SAS - (15) CHI
    REGULAR SEASON SERIES
    TIED 1-1
    (16) POR WON BY 2
    (15) CHI WON BY 25
    TIED 1-1
    (11) ATL WON BY 17
    (12) MEM WON BY 12
    THIS ONE KINDA TRICKY
    (5) CAVS WON 6 OF 8
    (6) LAC WON 6 OF 8
    (7) TOR WON 4 OF 8
    (8) UTAH WON 2 OF 8
    CAVS BEAT LAC 2 - 0 IN REGULAR SEASON SERIES

    To offset the elimination of the conferences for the playoffs, maybe shortening the season to 60 games instead of 82, which can help with preserving players health and no excuse for superstars to rest so much down the stretch.

  • @CheapAbyss
    @CheapAbyss 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Well... you could erase the conferences only for the standings, but keep them into consideration when making the schedule. And during the playoffs, you'd need to switch back to the old Finals formats of 2-3-2 games, so you don't have teams travelling across the country so often.

  • @laminmbaye8412
    @laminmbaye8412 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    To avoid travel times you could have all series played in neutral arenas, however that would cause problems for fans who have work/school who want to watch their teams play

  • @HoopGenius
    @HoopGenius 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    It would be interesting to see the Warriors vs Bucks in a 7 game series, the Bucks' length has always given Golden State problems, remember they were the team to end the Warrior's unbeaten run last season! So I think GSW would win overall, but it wouldn't be as easy as you think, especially as they'll be tired from playing Cleveland in the series before.

    • @Dom2k16
      @Dom2k16  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The length definitely does give them problems, I just think in a series anyone without mass firepower doesn't stand much of a chance against them tbh.

    For the traveling part. What about give the team with more wins 3 straight home courts in the beginning then 3 for the other team? I mean people will value home court advantage more and the 'resting' in regular season won't happen as often..

  • @AndrejIzAwesome
    @AndrejIzAwesome 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Shorten the regular season so that every team plays each other twice (home and away). This would remove b2b games, there would be less injuries and players would be way less tired come playoff time making the traveling much easier. Also, tiebrakers and seeding would be fair so that the best teams would get the best seeds (if you are 1-1 in your regular season series you can determine the winner by total points difference). If 58 regular season games is not enough you can have teams play the teams in their divisions 3 or 4 times so there would be 62 or 66 regular season games. Tiebrakers and seeding would be less fair but it's still much better than the current system imo.

  • @timisjim2711
    @timisjim2711 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like how instantly everyone says Lebron would be a second round exit most years, but you don't realize if he knew the format was like this, he would just perform to the higher standard necessary to get his team that top 4 seed, then in the first round be able to tone it down because of the huge talent gap between a 4-2 seed to a 14-12 seed. Maybe they wouldn't be a top 4 seed this year, but they wouldn't be lower than 6, I can guarantee that. Man, people just love to hate greatness.

  • @epi6581

  • @23abedabed23
    @23abedabed23 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Cavs didn't give up the seed. They were sadly playing poorly. And also, they would've been first seed if JR and Kevin love didn't get their injuries.

  • @JohnnnyE
    @JohnnnyE 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the idea honestly because of the idea we get to see the matchups of players that will probably never make it to the Finals. It'd also give LeBron a tougher path to win, and boost his credentials if he could win this whole bracket

  • @vinniechan
    @vinniechan 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    if u get rid of the conference and everyone plays every other home and away itd be a 58 game season add other 7 game play off round itd still be 65 games so the issue of travelling pretty much sort itself out

  • @TreeforLife

  • @travistravis7190

    I am from australia, I have a question. Why are the finals split up into two conferences? I'm thinking I would want to two best teams to be able to play against each other in the final...seems sometimes the two best teams are in the same conference. Doesn't make sense to split them up still for the finals. Why do they do it?

    • @Dom2k16
      @Dom2k16  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The two best teams are almost always from the Western conference. The NBA created conferences because of travel time, hence why teams in the same conference play each other more often. Also, in the playoffs with tighter schedules, the travel times from East to West would pose a huge problem, so unless there's some way around that, this isn't likely to change.

    • @travistravis7190

  • @123Mathzak
    @123Mathzak 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the idea of getting rid of conferences. However, by eliminating conferences, as shown by your bracket, average teams make it too far, and it kills the excitement of the bigger games. I'd rather see Cavs vs Pacers in the first round than Golden State playing Milwaukee in the semifinals.
