這次改制的確沒有改到分區問題 但要提改革 不得不提top16
取前16強這件事絕對不是只有鄉民網路上說說而已!!!
隨便google一下都有...
現行賽制上的不完美是值得大家認真討論的
身為一個球迷 當然會想看到最強的隊伍出線 不是嗎?
Adam Silver:NBA needs to look at taking top 16 teams for the playoffs
主席:NBA考慮取前16強進季後賽
“Ultimately we want to see your best teams in the playoffs. And there is an
unbalance and a certain unfairness. There is a proposal (from one of the
broadcasters)… where the division winners would all automatically go into
the playoffs and then you’d seed the next 10 best teams. I think that’s the
kind of proposal we need to look at. There are travel issues of course, but
in this day in age every team of course has their own plane, travels charter.
I don’t think the discussion should end there. And as I’ve said, my first
year I was studying a lot of these issues and year 2 is time to take action.
It’s something I’m going to look at closely with the competition committee.
I do think it’s an area where we need to make a change.”
Silver:現行制度的確有不平衡及不公平的問題，
現在有一個提案是:各分組第一加上之後的前十強(這樣剛好16隻隊伍)進季後賽，
我知道會有travel issues，但是現在大家都有私人飛機，
我上任第一年會好好研究這些議題，第二年就會做出行動，
我認為這這議題的確是我們有必要改變之處。

(ESPN今年4/3的文章，排名不太一樣，加減看)
These changes have big implications for who is likely to make the Finals.
Under the current conference system, four teams have a 20 percent or better
chance of making the NBA Finals
