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.

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.

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

That would give the NBA an additional 1 month for the playoffs, hence being able to afford extending the playoff schedule.

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.

Brilliant post once again!!

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

No they should have only the top 10 or 12 teams making the playoffs. 6,7, 8 seeds normally dont win a series.

your points were great especially your last but really only after the 1st round do we see tough match-ups ,great video

At the beginning I was like no way but now I see your logic

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.

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!

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?

Great vid bro.

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 :)

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.

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.

if anything divisions should be eliminated not conferences

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 :\

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.

I never thought about any of this but it is very true

It depends on the year, plus they really get a series off. If you`re the one seed, you play the 16th seed in the league so that team has virtually no chance of upsetting you or really even giving a compelling fight. But again, that depends on the year
