The NBA Season too long? share your thoughts

I dont think the 82 game regular season is too long. That is typical for a sport like that. Hockey too when its being played has 82 games.
What one might want to do, although less teams may make it, would be to say, shorten the playoffs. Have a system where instead of eight teams from each conference making it, do it like baseball where you have three divisions in each conference, a division champ in each, and a wild card. Have a four team playoff in each conference for the first round, and then a conference championship series, similar to the League Championship Series in baseball, and then the NBA finals, with the season finishing in May instead of June. It may be less interesting for teams on the bubble like eighth place seed teams, but it would make the NBA finals end in May instead of late June.
Only my view, dont know if others agree. Maybe you could shorten the Regular Season, but I wouldnt. I'd do it like baseball does.

I think the season is fine the way it is, but I think they should change the seeding for the playoffs. There have been too many times in the last couple of years, with the exception of last season, where the Western Conference Finals was essentially the championship. Granted with all of the major acquisituins the East made this season, that isn't necessarily the case. It would be nicer if it was kind of set up like college only not with 64 teams. Try and arrange it so the best teams are playing for the finals.

Definately cut down on the amount of teams that make the playoffs. teams that are below .500 are making it. very sad.
