    I’m pretty sure the move was a response to the networks being unhappy with the returns they were getting. They really wanted and needed that extra weekend of games and the league made it happen.

    If they want 8 seeds in each conference and a 7 game series but still want to reward the higher seed and reduce upsets give the better seed the first 3 games and the last 2 at home. No reason the 8 seed should only get 1 less home game than the 1 seed.

    Wall is one of the better point guards in the league.

    I agree about Beal, and especially Porter.

    I've always liked Zach Lowe's idea (it might be one he picked up from someone else and I'm forgetting the credit right now) that you should let the top three seeds pick who they want to play in each round - i.e. If you're the #1 seed, and #6 has a significant injury, you can pick them to play. Rewards you for winning in the regular season, and it puts a chip on the shoulder of the team picked.

    The Cavs are lucky LeBron doesn't leave them right now.

    JR Smith couldn’t be more worthless if his name was Eric Trump

    That should be a flagrant. LeBron should've taken a dive.

    Terry Rozier picked a bad time to remember he was Terry Rozier.

    LeBron is the GOAT.
