Nah they should keep it. I like it that way. My only problem is, why is Memphis in the West when it's on the east coast?? Memphis should be moved to the East, and send Milwaukee west.

Actually, if you look at a map, Milwaukee is a bit more east than Memphis and New Orleans.

But that's only right now, or has been like that for the last 5 years. Things will eventually balance out, and the power will go to the East for a while.

I mean, when the Celtics won for that decade or so, no one was talking about it then. Or when the Bulls won it for most of the decade, it wasn't an issue. Things will get better.

I think it just such a big deal right now cause the media makes it such a big deal.

Granted the teams in the west are tougher, but still, I don't like how the NBA changes something just because it isn't working. This is one thing they should leave, the east and the west.

Yea, but remember when Chicago was winning everything. It'll eventually balance out.

However, I think once a team makes the playoffs, east and west should have no effect and all 16 teams should be seeded by wins. That way, it's possible for the best team to play the best team.

But if it's laid out like that, then the bottom team has close to no chance what-so-ever against the top team. It's a bigger gap in talent between 1 and 16 than 1 and 8.
