Thanks Nash, I'm over the Horry cheap shot. Now that we ended the Canadian rebellion time to stop the mormon movement! GO SPURS GO! 
The taint is deep and ugly and the smell reeks. And it will forever. This could have been one of the great series of all times to truly determine the best team ---- but the comish did that by rewarding thuggish behavior without any consideration to fairness and what was right.
I am sure it feels good to be from San Antonio and win. Rejoice in your team winning...... by any means necessary.

Actually they still do 2 - 3 - 2 in the finals and I don't remember them ever doing it that way in the conference playoffs.
I like the tournament style of the NBA Playoffs. For example, Golden State beat the best team in the league, why should they be punished by having to face the second best team in the next round and so on and so forth. The tournament style rewards those who win in the playoffs.
As a fan of the New York Knicks Patrick Ewing era I feel for the Suns because they were ripped off in a similar fashion back in the 1997 Playoffs. The Suns are still young so they will be back.
I also think that they should match up teams regarding their seed position. for example, it kind of sucks for the #2 seeded Suns having to go against the #3 seeded Spurs in just the second round.
If the first round goes #1-#8, #2-#7, #3-#6, #4-#5, then they should do the same for the second round too.

how was the seeding order last year? I totally forget.
But anyways, I think keeping it highest seed vs lowest seed in all rounds makes the most sense. That way at least it will provide incentive and competition throughout the regular season to compete to be the highest seed possible and not just "make" the playoffs.
IMO if youre the #1 seed and you get beat by the 8th seed, that's your own damn fault lol.
The 82 regular season games have to mean something other than merely getting rid of a minority of bottom feeders and starting over anew. 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7 and so on makes the most sense. A situation like Phoenix and San Antonio meeting early when many felt it was the championship is kind of a rare occurence ............ so just take it as it comes. I would not mess with the current line-up.
Like I said before every other major sport reseads after each round. The NBA has always had the worst playoff system. The did finally get rid of the 2-3-2 well for the most part they still do it for the finals, and I think they said it was to save on travel which makes no sense becasue 2-3 day breaks between games are not unheard of so they have plenty of time to travel. they also figured out a 5 game series then 7 game series was also dumb. They made one chance that I know of lately and that was so that the seading was based purely on record. Before the winner of each division got top 3 seeds the the rest got seeded. That to me was something that didn't need changing and has worked for all the other sports before.

Last year the Spurs were #1, Phoenix #2, and Dallas #4. Dallas had a better record than Phoenix but was the 4 seed since they didn't win their division. Denver was #3, but they didn't even have home court in the first round because the 6 seeded Clippers had a better record. This year they changed it so the first 4 seeds are the three division winners and the team with the best record that didn't win their division. These four teams are then seeded by record. Funny thing about that was, in both conferences the fifth seed had a better record than the fourth seeded team so the fifth seeded team had home court. Houston had a better record than Utah, which won its division and Chicago had a better record than Miami which won it's division. Of course this doesn't really make a difference since the winner of those series still goes on to play the 1/8 series winner.nash said:

I have no problem with the current playoff seedings in the NBA. 2 always has to play 3 if they both make it through to the second round.
Last year Dallas had to play San Antonio in the second round before the Mavs faced the Suns in the Conference finals. It almost always turns out that way. The only reason why it is different this year is because those fakes in Dallas lost to some true ballers in Golden State.
It is the way of the league, tournament style, that is why the NCAA March Madness is so exciting.
If things turn out the way they are supposed to on paper 1 plays 4 and 2 plays 3 in the second round. Just because for the 3rd time ever 1 lost to 8 we now should change the playoff system? That makes no sense, it punishes a team that rose above the rest, like the Warriors did against Dallas.
We are (most of us) Americans, we root for the little guy and we love a winner. When the little guy wins we should not punish him by making him play the next team with the best record. This is the NBA, not the NFL and certainly not the NHL. Let's keep it that way.

I have no problem with them not reseeding after each round. What I always think is stupid is that the seeding doesn't completely go by record. It didn't matter as much this year when the five seed had a better record than the four seed, but last year when the six seed has a better record than the three seed, something is wrong.piccolodaimaoh said:
