这次改制的确没有改到分区问题 但要提改革 不得不提top16
取前16强这件事绝对不是只有乡民网络上说说而已!!!
随便google一下都有...
现行赛制上的不完美是值得大家认真讨论的
身为一个球迷 当然会想看到最强的队伍出线 不是吗?
Adam Silver:NBA needs to look at taking top 16 teams for the playoffs
主席:NBA考虑取前16强进季后赛
“Ultimately we want to see your best teams in the playoffs. And there is an
unbalance and a certain unfairness. There is a proposal (from one of the
broadcasters)… where the division winners would all automatically go into
the playoffs and then you’d seed the next 10 best teams. I think that’s the
kind of proposal we need to look at. There are travel issues of course, but
in this day in age every team of course has their own plane, travels charter.
I don’t think the discussion should end there. And as I’ve said, my first
year I was studying a lot of these issues and year 2 is time to take action.
It’s something I’m going to look at closely with the competition committee.
I do think it’s an area where we need to make a change.”
Silver:现行制度的确有不平衡及不公平的问题，
现在有一个提案是:各分组第一加上之后的前十强(这样刚好16只队伍)进季后赛，
我知道会有travel issues，但是现在大家都有私人飞机，
我上任第一年会好好研究这些议题，第二年就会做出行动，
我认为这这议题的确是我们有必要改变之处。

These changes have big implications for who is likely to make the Finals.
Under the current conference system, four teams have a 20 percent or better
chance of making the NBA Finals
