I could live with watchin VC dunkin on Yao. But on the other hand, I'd miss seeing AI drive into the hole and doing sweet layups
Limit playoff games to 1 game instead of 4 out of 7. It just will be alot more exciting that way. The Finals will be more of a big thing. Or make it that all rounds before the finals will be 2 out of 3. And the finals will be just 1 game?
Why does everyone like handchecking? Its like ur stiff arming the guy. You don't play defense with your hands, you play it with your feet. Why would you guys want handchecking? Explain? One thing they gotta do is make it more exciting. The Superbowl and the NFL playoffs kill the NBA Finals/playoffs. Why? Theres too many games in the NBA playoffs. 4-7? No... It should be 2-3. 4-7 is too much.
lol, I just realized you posted this topic on two different boards...(I stumbled upon the other thread looking for video game help, which i didn't find nonetheless )

If this were college or the NFL where less games are played, it could work out. But to have 82 games amount to one game playoffs just would not be fair or right for the teams that worked so hard to make it.
The best thing the NBA could do right now, is treat all players equally. Every player should get the same foul calls. Also, I wouldn't get too many other countries involved in the NBA. Such as China, with All-Star voting and so on. That goes for expanding to Europe too. That would be ridiculous. We should get a couple teams in Mexico, and Puerto Rico though, hehe.
I would like to have a rule that allows the coaches to request a video replay for the refs, like they have in the NFL. Now they only review last second shots, but I think they also should review other situations. This certainly would avoid discussions and technicals. Like what happened in the last minute of the T-wolves - Grizzlies game. Cassell clearly got tripped by Garnett and fell out of bounds, but it was J-Will who got the foul instead of the ball. A review by the refs would have given the Grizzlies the ball. What do you guys think?
I was thinking that too. If the score is less than 10 points apart and 1 minute or less in the last quarter/overtime, you should be able to "challenge". Too many crap calls that judge the game.

It should be 2-3. 4-7 is too much.</div> to make it just as equal for the offensive player and defensive player. i'm all for handchecking. when you play street ball, you hand check. or i do at least. how can you play defense with your feet, and completely ignore your hands. a foul is one thing.. but handchecking isn't that bad, imo. offense gets all the glory these days. defense often gets over looked. the game would be a lot more competitive if they were allowed to hand check, and get a *little* bit more physical. that's just my perspective on it.. i'm good with it and without (nba).. but if i had the choice, i'd want it to be legal. and it'd help vs. the big men.. make them work for their baskets. i'd like to see someone actually battle shaq w/o getting a foul.
and that's not good reasoning for why the superbowl blows out the nba playoffs. the superbowl blows away anything. it has nothing to do with the quality of the nba. and football players can't do a best of seven series, they'd be dead. and the reason why the nba gets lower ratings.. is because teams like the freaking spurs make it to the nba finals, that no one really gives a crap about. i've been waiting forever for the stupid celtics to get back to glory so they can face the lakers. but.. who knows when that will happen. i had little interest in the nba finals when it was the spurs vs. nets. yuck.
and you don't play 82 games in the nba season to make it to the nba playoffs and be one and done. it isn't college basketball. it's the nba. it's where the big boys play. i personally like the series. game sevens are amazing. lakers vs. portland, lakers vs. sacramento.. how fun were they? last years spurs vs. suns was fun to watch, even though it didnt go seven.. lakers vs. twolves when troy hudson went buckwild.. series are awesome, as long as you can get the right matchups..
Football can only have one-game-elimination because the sport is far too physical for guys to play more than one game/week. The playoffs alone would last like 3 months if they did best of 3 per round.
a video replay? that'd ruin the nba. it shut down it's fast pace. the game would take forever. everyone would get a rest.. c'mon. no replays in the nba. there's so many opportunities to score and to defend the basket, unlike football.
