League Set To Discuss Playoff Format

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>PHILADELPHIA -- If coaches and team officials truly want to change the current NBA playoff format, they are going to get their opportunity this summer.

"Though I think it is unlikely anything will happen, we will explore it fully," commissioner David Stern said in an informal press briefing before the game Friday.

Several different proposals have been discussed the last couple of years. One is to re-seed teams in each conference after each round. Another is for the playoffs to include the 16 top teams in the league, regardless of conference affiliation and simply seed them one through 16.</div>

Awesome. I hope something good happens. I wanna see the Warriors in the playoffs next year.

The playoffs would be full of West teams.

 

If Detroit doesn't wake up and beat Philly, this will lose some momentum
