Today I`m talking about why I think the NBA needs to ditch the East West concept. Wouldn`t it be awesome to one day see John Wall and Damian Lillard square off in the playoffs? Under the current system, that isn`t likely to ever happen sadly. - Спорт
If they got rid of conferences then there would be no argument every year of who's the better team bc they would have to go through reasonable brackets with the best 16 teams in the NBA. Not to mention the possibility of much harder and entertaining to watch series way before the finals.
Marvin Namikaze that's what everyone wants because everyone likes close games better than blowouts
Marvin Namikaze oh no better games earlier
Kyle Gader exactly it feels more like competition instead of just warm ups before the finals or conference finals
Marvin Namikaze the NBA would make so much money. Silver needs to make this happen.
+Daz But there is also too much bragging on LeBron's losing 4 finals. You can't have it both ways
dom send this into the NBA. ASAP.
If this was two years ago I would1ve because they might`ve listened back then lol
Dom2k true but if you think about. 16 team bracket this year like the ncaa style how did it?. would be awesome. like say if the Timberwolves made it 16. could you image the GSW vs a up and coming Twolves sqaud. Image D.rose vs CP3 in a playoff game. Lebron vs Durant before the finals. THE new Cavs vs the New Squrs. you still should send it in

When the conferences go out of wack again I definitely will.
Who is your avi by the way I recognize that show
Dom2k Dj from total drama lmao. my nickname is dj so it's fitting. check out my page. I post 2k content. AND BRING BACK THE 3 KINGS i loved that series.

the man makes a convincing case
dontayz99 Right?

So did jalen rose, the person he stole this from
I think conferences should stay in the regular season but have no effect in the playoffs. Which ever team would be the top in the East and West for the regular season would be the Conference Champions but it would play no effect in the playoffs and it would be the 1st seed Vs the 16th, 2nd seed Vs 15th seed, etc.
But then when one conference is stacked the other conference is gone have an advantage reaching the playoffs. They should just have every team play every team 3 times, instead of 4 in theirs and 2 in the others.
Yeah I think they should have every team play against each other 3 times, I just think you could still keep the conferences as an extra thing that doesn't affect the playoffs or the amount of times they play against each other. It would just be weird to have no more conference champions as for as banners go but it's whatever
Scheduling and travel would be a nightmare if you had teams from different conferences facing each other in the playoffs. 6 hour flights every two days plus training, practice and games would fatigue a lot of players and lead to sub-par play. It's a good idea in theory but the execution would be extremely troublesome.
+Nod Nek I agree. The one thing never mentioned in the vid was the divisions. I think the divisions are really outdated and shouldn't matter to the playoff picture. Idk how many teams I've seen scraping by with well below .500 records making the playoffs over the much more deserving teams.
I agree that conferences should be abolished and that every team should play each team three times, it would also be cool if the top seeds were able choose their opponents, shout out to mike korzemba
I still can't believe the Seahawks ran it
Marcus RotMG every time I look in the comments of any video I see someone commenting this
dznRose in his universe, they ran it. Though, that's the universe where Berenstain Bears is spelled Berenstein
fail
wassupguy1 The Universe in which the Seahawks ran the ball, is the same universe where Chris Paul was traded to the Lakers and the Cubs still haven't won a championship
Jordan Dennis And the Warriors didn’t choke 3-1 and the Falcons didn’t blow a 28-3 lead, but Hilary is president...
Kevin Love would've never gotten hurt because remember Kelly Olynyk caused that injury
Goken yea he ignored the shyt out of that lol
Thunder blew a 3-1 lead
A.T.NBA2K The Warriors blew a 3-1 lead in the FINALS
So did the warriors
A.T.NBA2K so did GSW
Robert Gawronski At least they made the finals
Warriors the first team to do it in the finals #History
the playoffs would be good like this instead of confrences
Adrian Garza yes because for the last 5 to 7 seasons it's been LeBron and in the West it's been the spurs it's so predictable
Jay Tv spurs would still make it LOL
Adrian Garza yup
Adrian Garza hell yeah it will be spurs vs another west team
Maybe but I really want to see what goes down
Would definitely make the playoffs a hell of a whole lot more Exciting to watch that's for sure!!!
david guzman no it won't it would make it confusing
Nox Gaming hmm well, the only hurdle would really be the overall ranking system that would establish seeding I think.
Nox Gaming if you find it confusing to count to 16 instead of 8 you should go back to school
Thomas forde I don't think it's that easy kid go back to school.
If we got rid of the NBA conferences, Lebron wouldn't make it to 6 straight NBA finals. He would have to face real teams like OKC Thunder, Nash's Suns, Kobe's Lakers, Nowitiski's Mavs, Nuggets with Billups and Melo, and especially the Spurs
Troy Hung He would win some years and win whenever he reaches the finals, so less finals appearances but a better record like 3-0 or 2-1
he wouldn't have won pre 2010 no matter who he faced regardless.
aka he never would have went against half of the "real" teams you named.
he would make it less but heat were better than most teams u mentioned anyway
he would lose if he carried the cavs from 2003-10
Too many what ifs you don't know this for sure and never will
the problem will be is fatigue. he wont be able to keep it up against those team esp if his team will be 8th seed. he was practically cruising in the eastern.
English
My sorry bad for hello
English good you have
Samir Huq, you mean good have you english..
Daithi McNally birthday happy
wtf is wrong with yall
dayis good
Ppl might not realize this but when Lebron came to the league even with his terrible Cavs they still had the best record in the east which shows u just how weak the east has been since MJ left
PEOPLE not realize how mj is overrated
Condom Maniac I mean I never said he wasn't but I'm just saying Lebron had a trash ass team and still had a 60 win record somehow and I'm not even a Lebron fan
maybe because lebron played his ass off? ever thought about that?
Brandon Lake please not one player has ever been that good not even MJ or Kobe but a trash team gets a 60 win record one season he did it once and every other time they just somehow barely made playoffs but still I wouldn't call it all that if he did that why couldn't he win the title if he played his ass off as soon as he played the Spurs in the finals got his ass swept
Queon Ball W
At first when I read the title I thought he went off the deep end, now I pleading for them to do this rule
Just-Win_15 I'm not it would horrible
Nox Gaming how
FizzySummer776 because the league would be difficult to understand when you have a bunch of teams just in one slot how would they do the playoffs it confusing but the league will never do this rule because it will be confusing and they will lose money.
how would they lose money? nobody even bothers watching the east playoff games because we all know lbj is gunna win, if theres better matchups more fans, more small market teams would get recognition, and how is it confusing? it's the same exact format, just that theres 16 teams not 8
Fox Gaming, 1 vs 16, 2 vs 15, 3 vs 14, and this list goes on, it's not that confusing. It'll be better to see the best vs the best than to see a garbage to even in the playoffs. Don't u think having a sorry team in the in the eastern conference (knowing that it's not better than some teams in the west) vs the best team, than just a team that could better than the sorry team when you gather the top 16 teams in the league. That'll make more money. I don't want to see Cavs vs Brooklyn, I want to see Cavs vs okc ( if they fall that low)
Damian Lillard vs John Wall in the playoffs? Book it, c'mon NBA make it happen
Damian Lillard it will be hard because the guards are stacked. These two wall and lillard would always hit curry and his gang
Why Portland look like the loneliest team out there lmaoo
RIP Supersonics
Meechy Merc Em Seattle and Vancouver left us, so we're on our own.
I think the only problem is the traveling issues. If the Warriors and let's say like the Celtics were matched up in the first round this year. They would either have to make the playoffs last longer so the teams have a day of rest after traveling or it just wouldn't work out. That's the only problem I see with the no conference thing other than that I'm all for the conferences to go
It wouldn;t be that different from the warriors playing the pelicans though.
True because it is a day between each game but...I`d totally be willing to have travel issues over competition issues.
But like dude above me said, some of these teams are flying across the country to play each other anyways.
I think the solution to that is that if you get rid of the conferences, there's the possibility that there'd be fewer regular season games. Let's say you have to play each team twice, then maybe 3-4 games against a division rival, you'd have 62-66 games for the regular season. That would give the NBA an additional 1 month for the playoffs, hence being able to afford extending the playoff schedule.
@@marioflores5230 Id say 66 games then a team would play the other 29 teams twice then the last 8 games is just selected based on tv ratings and matchups. Two of those games should be played against the teams above and below a team in last years league standings.
If this happened Lebron would have probably 3 finals appearances and 2 wins for his whole career
What about Jordan
fuck you
Bedcorn that was really corny but . Eh
Nah, Lebron would probably be 3/3 or 3/4. Most of the times he lost were the times when he shouldn't of been there in the first place. Like in 08 or 15 when he had no teammates. Would've not had to go to the finals with teams that didn't stand a chance and he would've been able to avoid dumb loses.
i think he would be 3-1 or 3/4
2007 - no finals
2011 - yes, L
2012 - yes, W
2013 - yes, W
2014 - no (injuries)
2015 - no (injuries)
2016 - yes, Biggest W all time
The cooler part is that he would be 3-1 in finals W's and L's after the 2016 NBA finals, after coming back from 3-1 lmao
"I watched the SA Spurs...Dust them...with my own eyes" lmaooo. I dont know why that made my day.
I dont think this will even be considered until we EXIT the Lebron era
Lebron brings in too much money to have him lose before the Finals
I think they would make even more money with the teams Lebron would regularly face in the playoffs under this format.
RACEWAY 500 W faxx
RACEWAY 500 I mean the only teams that can beat them out west are the spurs and the warriors that's it!!! and don't you say the clippers
deonta thomas why? Paul pierce says they're a super team and he's "the truth" so we gotta believe him
Great video Dom, keep it up bro. Cant wait till you hit 100k subs !
you two should do a collab video thumbs up if u guys agree
L Dom is too good
NBA Insider 100k nah 1 million
Michael Jordan
why do you keep saying the east is balancing out? The west has Warriors, Spurs, Clippers and Trailblazers. The east has the Cavs. that's it.
?
The East has Cleveland, Toronto, Pacers, Celtics, Bulls, Knicks.
Are any of those guys gonna beat Cleveland? More than likely not, but the rosters are actually looking good and competitive now whereas before it was just teams full of role players.
"Are any of those guys gonna beat Cleveland? More than likely not"
You proved my point for me.
*****
What does have to do with the rest of the conference being around equal power?
Is anybody going to beat the Warriors in the West? "Probably not"
That doesn`t mean the other teams aren`t competitive with each other.
That's the difference in this year and last year, last year the East was just a bunch of mediocre teams after Cleveland. This year some of those guys like Paul George and Melo actually have a squad.
Dom2k Clippers and especially the Spurs have more than just a puncher's chance to beat the Warriors in a best of seven series.
The Pacers are pretty much the same Pacers we seen for damn near a decade. Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah? One is injury prone and the other hasn't shown any above average talent since beating Ohio State in 2007.
The closest thing to competition is the Bulls, but Wade is past his prime and I don't see Rondo giving the assists out he should be as a point guard. Especially to a guy that dislocated his shoulder a few years ago.
Raptors???
Actually it would be Scalibrine vs everyone
Gabriel Coria u mean scalabrine vs no one they'd be too scared and the Celtics would win every millisecond
Who's Scalibrine?
RatedPending - Please Don't Sue Me yes my bad
youre not a real NBA fan if you dont know that name... but wait, youre just being sarcastic right? nobody dares not know the GOAT..
Also, at 2:10, we also can't see two players of the SAME conference in the FINALS. Such as Westbrook and Curry or PG and Lebron and such
Nevermind you said that later lol
this conference plan is a dream playoff run
How about a 15 seed play off instead of 16 and the first seed doesn't have to play a first round game as a reward for being 1st seed. This would encourage teams to try harder. Plus this would make more sense since the league is 30 teams 15 is a nice division of 30.
That would make the regular season more competitive definitely but no way in hell the NBA would sign off on one less series lol
Jordan H that'd be a 14 seed playoff
Nestility No but the first seed comes back in during the second round and plays the lowest that's left so it would still be a 15 seed but since one team is dropped the 1st seed gets a break.
I wish they could try in to win a lot of games in the regular season if that would help good teams try and win more games than I guess. winning 70+ games must take a lot out of teams, that explains losing when up 3-1.
Jordan H
Keep regular season conferences,(traveling is still an issue. That's why teams will have long ass road trips covering the teams in California if it's an East team) But I've been wanting the best 16 for a while. The Suns once had a 50-32 season and didn't make the playoffs, but a trash sub 500 team made the playoffs in the east. Totally unfair and unbalanced.
I agree, keep the conferences, but the playoffs is straight 16. I will say this, in the regular season if a team knows that they can finish over .500 they do tend to not play as hard in the final weeks of the season...
Dude pls, Im brazilian, and here they thought that the way we played soccer was "old and needed ajustments so it would make it more just for those who were the better teams" and it ruined the brazilian soccer championship, because eventually they eliminated the playoffs and the best regular season teams won the championships. This is suicide, because well, the essence of the game is basically the playoff rush, and they already changed it here in Brazil, dont let it do the same for you guys. Sorry about my terrible and rusty english, hope you get my point.
You deserve a lot more subs man these videos are really well put together
Ditch!! Competition = Best vs Best.
Let's look at different season - the 1995-96 season. The East has 9 teams in top 16 no conference (Bulls, Magic, Pacers, Cavs, Knicks, Hawks, Pistons, Heat and Hornets), while the West has 7 (Sonics, Spurs, Jazz, Lakers, Rockets, Blazers and Suns). OK, that's pretty much even in terms of East-West representation. But let's see how the brackets will be:
1. Bulls - 16. Hornets; No contest - the Bulls will win by landslide
8. Rockets - 9. Cavs; Here, I call it a win for the Rockets which will give us Jordan vs. Hakeem in the 1/4 Finals
4. Spurs - 13. Blazers; IMO Spurs win
5. Jazz - 12. Pistons; Win for the Malone and Stockton Jazz
3. Magic - 14. Heat; Win for Orlando
6. Lakers - 11. Hawks; Not sure - in real life the Lakers lost to the Rockets, while the Hawks beat the 7 seed Pacers in 5. I'll give the W to the Lakers though based on their Head to Head record, but the Hawks could pull an upset
7. Pacers - 10. Knicks; As stated IRL the Hawks beat the Pacers in 5, but the Knicks eliminated the Cavs in 3. I'm willing to give the Knicks the win
2. Sonics - 15. Suns; Win for Seattle
In the next round we'll have matchups like Bulls v Rockets, Spurs v Jazz, Magic v Lakers and Knicks v Sonics. Bulls, Magic, Spurs and Sonics IMO would've advanced and the semis would be East v West and these 4 teams were the best 4 teams in the league that season. Still the Bulls would've won the title anyway whether they faced Kemp and Payton's Sonics or Shaq and Penny's Magic
please put out more content man love what you got going
Great video as always Dom!
This was a good time to make this video because many believe the conferences have balanced out, but despite that, I still managed to find some reasons I think its just time for conferences to go in the NBA. What do you all think? *DONT FORGET TO VOTE IN THE POLL ON THE VIDEO* And leave your thoughts in the comments. Like and sub if you enjoyed!

that would be stupid because ok then we would see most of the western teams in the finals then the eastern would die ok well you'll probably say well the better teams will prevail anyway nope I don't wanna see that I want to see conference because that makes me feel better any debate I got more this just my first point
Dom2k I don't think 16 format would be as good as divisional. Look at the nfl and their playoff races. Expansion teams are bound to happen with the rate the nba is growing so it can work. The rivalries that could be formed is crazy. (Example) Imagine an Nba and Aba conference and Boston and La are in Nba conf. They both been battling the last games to clinch a wild card spot and both get it. You could have them playing a wild card series against each other and still continue to play other good teams. Also it would make regular season games matter much more for teams to lead their divisions. Just a thought
Dom2k I completely stand by your idea and its great I hope they do eliminate conferences but how could you categorize each side to then get a champion of each side to then play the finals?
oh so now you doing 5 reasons
Dom2k you should make 5 reasons why the trade deadlines are good
It's the homie! Dom2k on the mic
Damn you deserve more subs. That R&C music is lit too.
Great content! Subscribed!
Thanks!
Maybe keep the regular season matchups, meaning Western Conference teams playing each other more often as they do today. But have the playoffs seeded as shown in this video, based on their record regardless of conference.
I really hope the nba takes notice of this. great job!
That would be great
Great video sir, very well thought out. Brought up some excellent points. My only counter point would be there is truly only ever 3-4 teams that could win it all any given year. So if a 9th/10th seed in the west is better than the 8th seed in the East it ultimately doesn't matter. But i do like the idea of better match ups through out the playoffs.
Amazing vid dude it would be really interesting to see them take out conferences. Keep up the good content
this guy is using ratchet and clank soundtracks
I'm done
Orlando Pinon 💀💀💀
Orlando Pinon 😂😂😂
Orlando Pinon o
Blood m
I completely agree with the fact conferences should be revised and the east ain't trash but the Lebrun ain't got too many challenges in getting to the finals these last few years / the fact a lot of great match ups never go head to head like Kobe Lebron.
Bruh you spit straight facts I'm a fan of your channel you earned my sub! I only have one thing about if they ditched conferences the playoffs would be hella long but other than that I 100% agree
To add to what Dom's saying, I reckon the NBA should keep conferences for the regular season, but not playoffs. Think about it, say if you win the conference, you get a guaranteed top 2 place in the 16 seeds. This would add extra competition and bragging rights to get the top spot in the conference, which would lead to teams such as the Cavs backing off at the end. You might still end up with the top of each conference in the finals due to home court but there would be way more "upsets". Say the 2nd seeded team out of 16 finishes with a 55-27 record, but the 3rd finishes with 58, 4th with 57 and 5th with 56. This would lead to a 2v3 semis, which if the 3 had the better record, then an upset could occur. Just an idea.
I never thought about this, now that I think about it you have a good point and now I also think there shouldn't be conferences.
This was a great video. I agree with u
And it would also promote more competitive play during the regular season b/c teams would have to play their best players more as opposed to resting them (think of Clev, SAS, GSW) in order to get a top seed which will help them avoid the other best teams in the early rounds.
I really don't know why there's still conferences! Heck, it's even better from a business point of view!! More competitive play=More filled up Arenas+more viewership!!! I'm sure there are tons of other pros aside from what Dom explained to get rid of them dumb conferences.
Great video btw Dom, just discovered your channel and really like your content. You're very underrated! I consider you a youtube "star" and hopefully become a "SuperStar" soon :)
Thanks man means a lot!
i just discovered your channel, you speak straight facts 👌🏽. i'm now a active sub
i just don't see how the pelicans and grizzlies are western conference teams
While their status as "west" is debatable, they are still more western than any of the Eastern Conference teams. If you moved them to the East you'd have to put Chicago and Milwaukee or some shit in the West to balance the conferences.
me personally would feel more comfortable putting the bucks in the west since wisconsin is right next to minnesota who is in the west rather than the pelicans
Thunder UP It's because the Grizzlies used to be in Vancouver BC. and New Orleans was a western conference team from the start.
Shadow Emboar Chicago is western conference in NHL.
also because they want the same number of teams in the same conference
#Harambe4MVP
KingKobraPenny I agree
KingKobraPenny harambe is a dead meme smh
KingKobraPenny you
+AReallyRandomName (GARY) and you're a dead person smh
harambe edition of 2k broooooo fuck the Paul George edition gimmie the oh snap edition
How I been sleep on this channel for so long doe? Straight facts Dom.
good video! really appreciate the quality!
Conferences should be ditched for the system. Too much predictability and weak conferences in todays NBA. I really wish for more exciting games. How will schedules be created though without the existing system of conferences and divisions?
AmericaWest90 maybe keep the conference for the regular season then ditch them in the Playoffs
60 Games in a Season every Team plays every other team two times
we dont need 82 Games to know who the best team is .
If there less Games there are also less injuries and Teams have the best players still in there Team.
Mr. Basketball Well 82 games can stay and conferences can stay but playoffs based off Power Rankings
Dope King Power rankings like they are in college football?
yep just like that
if anything divisions should be eliminated not conferences
jonathan burack Couldn't Agree More Divisions don't mean anything besides who you will play in the regular season
Daz thats fucked up lol
General Maudy why is that? the top 8 teams in each conferences should play each other based on record not because a team won the division so they are automatically a 3 seed for instance but really they are the 6th or 7th best team in the conference but they have homecourt... thats fucked up ma dude.
jonathan burack why you replying to me about this. Its obvious the fucked up part was him saying i hope you didnt make a video. Not his opinion about the divisions. Which i agree with. You just wasted your time explaining all that to me because i already agree
General Maudy next time tag someone idiot
awesome vid really interesting and agreeable, when are we going to see XPLAYER case for goat vid? I'm hyped for that
Great video Dom
That's crazy I've been thinking about this lately
i think the fans and players want it. its the owners who don't and in the end the owners decide
Well it would probably be a perfect split because nobody in the East would support this
Cool channel bro, subscribed
Thanks man
If conferences weren't a thing we would see playoff LeBron throughout the whole season which would then give a fair indication of how good the Cavs actually are. Their 51-31 season this season isn't a fair indication of how good they are. They would have to try otherwise they would end up finishing lower and have to play a tough West team like GSW, Spurs, Houston, OKC or Clippers first or second round which would lead to them being eliminated.
If they do get rid of the conferences then they would obviously have to make the series shorter less games too.
why? there would be the same amount of games and rounds, so for what reason?
travel. it would exhaust player all that travel
No they should have only the top 10 or 12 teams making the playoffs. 6,7, 8 seeds normally dont win a series.
It should be divisional like nfl and there shouldn't be an east west split but rather something like nfc/afc you'd have unpredictable seasons which would make the regular season actually matter as trams would constantly be in playoff races. Right now you have top 8 in each conf then all the other nubs that don't matter. I think it would be way more entertaining having divisional races and races for wild card
Ps it'd make sense to make expansion teams which is needed sense basketball is on the rise as a popular American sport
+lil eiht ball but then you would have two a bunch of teams not making the playoffs that should like Toronto and Boston are in the same division and only one of them would make the playoffs when both would deserve it
Samuel Laboy ya but in a best 16 you already know who will win and for the top 10 teams the regular season is practically meaningless. With divisional seeds you actually have playoff races making for more intense games.
nba can do that like the nfl can. different culture
@@bigbean6062 The playoffs should only have the top 10 or 12 teams based on league record. Regular season should be a 60 game season where the last 2 games are extra games for tv ratings like a rematch of the championship. Each team will play everyone twice.
Brilliant post once again!!
I swear this man is underrated! Keep this shit up bro you gonna blow up soon I promise 💯
Dom CLE would of beaten SAS the 2014-2015. Why I say this because Kevin love wouldn't have ever gotten injured that year because CLE wouldn't have face BOS as shown in your graph and if you remember Olson pulled K. Love's arm out of its place. Which means he would of been healthy to face SAS.
Javon Clayton yea your right.
I think that year even with Kyrie and Love the Spurs still would`ve beaten them
Dom2k idk about that because they have better perimeter defense than the clippers with a decent inside presence and this is the year they fell to the clippers for reasons unknown they were just off and you could see it and i believe had not kyrie and kevin got hurt last year kyrie would have arrived sooner than now. P.S. Kyrie & Westbrook are gonna lose it this year!
they fell to the clippers cause the clippers had the best offense the nba
I enjoyed this video. you should definitely send your idea or push this idea to the NBA. matter of fact we all should push this idea if you truly want to see this happen !!💪👍👍👌👌👏👏
Loved the video man ur killing it as always I agreed with about every point and would u just have team captains pick the all star teams like in hockey?
Yeah honestly the all star game is an after thought, there's probably a hundred ways to handle that.
Dom2k yeah that's true. Plus I wish defense was actually played in that game bc teams scoring 160+ points is not fun
Great video, keep it up
I couldn't agree more with this video
east is freebie, west has to work
Hey may I make a suggestion? Could you change the music selection into more of a hip hop/jazzy themed instrumental? Thanks bro, I really enjoy these videos. Keep it up man.
my mouth started watering about 12 minutes in. that playoffs would be INSANE
i like this makes nba more unpredictable
Why even upload this. It's not like Adam silver is gonna watch and change it, there's a better chance of sixers winning the championship
just sharing an opinion bro. he's not saying it cause he expects it to change, he's saying it cause he wants to get his thoughts out there and see what other people think.
dont be an idiot.
Kameron Koch how do you think change happens? Its starts off with an idea and someone expressing that idea to others.
I don`t recall tagging the NBA or indicating that I wanted them to watch this..
I think I was just uploading an opinion or thought provoking video
Ya know, like most people do on UA-cam
At the beginning I was like no way but now I see your logic
your points were great especially your last but really only after the 1st round do we see tough match-ups ,great video
"Beat up on the Rockets" a series where 3 games were decided by 5 or less points and the Rockets beat the Clips and technically the Spurs (Beat the Clips then Spurs in Season Series) so Foh. Put some Respek on Houston's name
Doesn`t matter how they beat them, it only took 5 games. Clippers Warriors would`ve been more fun that year
Dom2k Would of still been 4 games
+Dom2k i would say keep the confereces during the regular season but power rank the play off
Visionary Productions exactly I'm from Cleveland the Spurs won 4 games but that's because we were outcoached every game within 4 points we didn't lose that bad. Plus the Spurs still beat the suns and the best teams so it doesn't matter when they beat them they're still beating the same teams. The trailblazers vs the wizards isn't the best facing the best
Israel Brewton
Well that's why Trail Blazers vs Wizards was under the player rivalry section and not under the best vs the best...
Is this the music from Ratchet and Clank?
Yep
Great vid bro.
I've been watching your videos for awhile and I have never subbed. I have finally decided to sub. It was well deserved.
Munk
Appreciate that
Dom2k sup dom
wow this is so true
No all star weekend ?!
Alpha they can do an all-star draft with the pool of all stars like the NFL
Alpha still do east and west all stars just have no conference
It sucks when losing teams make the playoffs...I don't think that a 38-44 team has any business playing a 61-21 team in a weighted series.
I don't want conference only in the playoffs because you have to think about the all star team. If the whole conference thing was gone there would be no East vs West in the all star weekend.
But what would happen to the all star game?
Dads Cream the fans and coaches can still vote the all stars in then just draw names like the lottery to pick teams
That would be the easy part to figure out in all of this.
Dads Cream it would probably be like the pro bowl for nfl
Dads Cream fan will vote on players and what team they want them on
If you want to go no conferences then you need to take the top 8 teams in the league. A best of 7 1vs16 would be awful
Kevin Jones it would be the same amount of time as the playoffs are now
Kevin Jones it would be more exciting tho. hell march madness has its upsets and Cinderellas. a 16 seed beating a 1 sees would be more entertaining and bring in more viewers probably
General Maudy but what makes march madness what it is is it's one and done. A 16 seed couldn't beat a 1 seed 4 times
Kevin Jones yea that's true
Oh yea. I didnt think of it like that. The 2 8 seeds are 15th and 16 seeds anyway
the NBA is almost forced into keeping conferences because if you ditch them you also ditch a lot if nba history and value a conference brings. like a team like toronto this year that made their first ever conference final. it's a big deal to these teams
You should talk about divisions next. Like if conferences were gone you could go over some reasons why we should or shouldn't get rid of divisions.
If they get rid of conferences, than no NBA All-Star game ??
Miguel Ramirez They should do it like MLB. AL and NL. The NBA can have a National Conference and an American Conference.
Miguel Ramirez no they should keep conferences, but just have the top 16 teams make the playoffs
Miguel Ramirez the NBA would just select players as usual and could just try to even out the teams.
undeadsniperrr True
All Star Game can change format and do as they please. The best and most exciting players will get votes either way
then their would be no all star games
hayden curry All star games would be picked by a captain, No conferences would also make the best players play in the all star game
hayden curry Damian Lillard would be an All star all these years
hayden curry it would be worth it though.
hayden curry
hayden curry the Allstar game doesn't mean anything anyways. It's a joke no one plays defense at all and that's supposed to be half the game
Amazing video
Dom....you've changed my mind again. Another amazing video
lebron would have less rings
ppl hate lebron so much it's pathethic
keshawn anderson we hate super teams more.
Jonathan Avitia never seen anyone hate on Kobe for his super teams
keshawn anderson the only super team kobe has had I'd the 2012-13 team and they sucked. kobe had to play by himself for a while in the 2000s
Bock that Lakers team with Shaq
Wasn't a super team?

How do you only have 30k subs? You are one of the best basketball UA-camrs besides mike korzemba and nick smith. You should have around 100k. Keep doing what you're doing because you're vids are amazing
Thanks man, it's been 3 months so I`m happy with where I`ve gotten .
I love what the WNBA did this season by not using a conference format in the playoffs this year. It was great and we finally got a LA sparks vs Minnesota Lynx matchup in the finals and it's a great matchup. The exact format I don't think would work in the finals but I definitely think getting rid of cofnerences would be great.
when u were saying that the Suns should have made the playoffs that year it didn't make any sense cuz they didn't have a top 16 record wtf
No he was saying that the Suns had a better record than the Nets, who did make the Eastern Conference playoffs, meaning that they should have been given a playoff berth and not Brooklyn. He wasn't referencing the 16 seed playoffs at that moment.
so basicly this just proves how overrated are LBJs number of finals so far
lanicorr lani Not really.
u think LBJ would be in the finals if his team wouldv played lets say SAS and a team like clipers before finals ? for 6 straight years ? no way ,,, East is so weak for a long time now .... only now the raptors are are going up others still dont have enought for big 3 in cleveland so ye... 8spot in EAST is nearly like the 3rd last or 4th last in West meaning 500 team or less
if there is no conference, actually it would work in the favor of lebron. he has been critisized heavily for his 3-4 records. now if he needs to face the best of the best, he would probably be 3-1 instead of 3-4. the 3 rings in which he won can't be taken away. it means that he's at the absolute peak of his game and any team that he face can be defeated.
It also take out playoff fatigue factor too. The 2015-2016 playoff saw the 73-9 Warrior having to fight their way through so many obstacles for one reason or another ... ultimately having to face a surprisingly crazy OKC squad ... and then went on to play the Cavalier who nearly swept the entire conference :\
I like the point you made about more interesting playoff matchups, we would get to see wayyyyy better matchups of certain players play!
