    I think it’s a great idea.

    If they do this then they have to get rid of east vs West (which I’m in favor of).

    Yeah, the regular season schedule needs to be evened out, otherwise it messes up the cross-conference playoff seeding.

    Celtics-Blazers would have a lot of air miles. The only other East-West pairing is Minny vs. Milwaukee, which would barely need bus miles.

    Just leave it the way it is! I hate when things get corrected as an overreaction to one conference being more dominate.

    The top teams in the east and west should get to pick the teams they want to play. See this year's all star teams for example.

    I'd like to see this. It would be pretty cool. I like the Blazers chances in that one.

    If you want to be the best you have to beat the best.

    This is a horrible idea. Many of the new rule changes over the years, as well as the overuse of the 3-point shot have already dampened my enthusiasm for the game. I already hate the NBA as a league, I would still like to enjoy basketball but as it is the NBA is making that more and more difficult.

    Whenever I have to hear bad news from somebody, I always avoid them like the plague and refuse to return their phone calls. I think the Blazers should take the same approach when thinking about facing the GS Warriors.
