    @TigerVols
    Another piece of your prediction started to come true last night. Lakers and LeBron celebrating milestones he mainly earned with other teams, while losing a game.

    The Angels and Pujols have been doing that together since he signed with them.

    He is nothing close to what Pujols is.

    Good Draymond is nearly invaluable. Bad Draymond is nearly worthless.

    The Southeast Division is a good example why being a division champion shouldn't automatically be rewarded with home-field/court advantage.

    Division champions need to be in the playoffs, but once they're in the field, seed em by straight WL percentage.

    There has been momentum lately for 1-16 seeding, and the top 16 teams making it, regardless of conference. I'm in favor of both. Zach Lowe or someone else also floated the idea of letting higher seeds play who they want to pick - i.e. #1 could pick a #5 that's missing its best player - and I like that idea too, to give more value to the regular season.

    I don't mind doing away with conferences for playoff seeding, but the choose your opponent seems silly. Why wouldn't the No. 1 seed take the team with the worst record? The 8 seed has only won three times in almost 35 years. Going 1 to 16 is fine, but 1 should play 16 2-15 and so on.

    Meaning, you get to pick each round.

    My point is it's silly to choose. Just go as is.
