I've been here since 2008 man :( wasted all of my adolescence on 4chan
>>67204281
The 1991-92 NBA playoffs. Bulls vs. Blazers finals, and Larry Bird's final season was a big deal.
reminder:
this semen slurping sport needs some fixin and this is you do it:
>30 teams
>get rid of conferences and divisions--no one cares
>each team plays every team 2 times in a season
>3 points for a win
>1 for a draw
>0 for a loss
>no overtime for regular season games
>6 team playoff
>5 game first round
>7 game champions hip series
>top 2 teams in the league table ranking get a first round bye
>playoff seeding determined by points(league table ranking) at end of 58 game regular season
>in case of a tie(league table ranking) , POINT DIFFERENTIAL[(total points scored during regular season) - (total points allowed during regular season)] for the entire season breaks the tie
Point differential would make every possession--every play--throughout the entire season count.
With a 6 team playoff you can expect to have 12-13 teams realistically vying for a playoff spot so around half the league will always be incentivized to play hard and win.
Since relegation isn't possible and there are no other competitions(Champions League for example) to qualify for, the other half of the league could be incentivized to win with a combination of determining a teams percentage of revenue shares + determining draft picks
you're welcome, I just saved your dying sport

This is awesome. This man has the potential to be a great head coach with what he's shown and all the great men he's learned from. The Lakers won't contend for a few more years, so even if Walton is bad, we can afford to search for another coach. Great signing by the Lakers.

That's why I said at the very least. Picking up a guy who coached on cruise control? Come the fuck on. The Lakers are young and need a veteran to guide them, they don't need a rookie coach who will be just as lost as they are.
>>67210284
Probably not..
Why would you leave in the middle of a title run anyways
>there's fight in that locker room
>i have full confidence

Casey starting to sound like a broken record. Feel sorry for the guy because he is days away from being fired
>>67210244
except its not lebrons fault that they lose, the teams are just better. raps are clearly better than the pacers yet are getting btfod because derozan is absolute trash
>Kings center DeMarcus Cousins has an interesting connection with new Lakers head coach Luke Walton. Cousins apparently was given tape of Walton by coach Paul Westphal as an example of how passing could open up the game for others. DeMarcus reportedly spent the whole summer leading up to his rookie season studying Walton's passing and off the ball movement. Just an interesting side note now that the Kings are looking to move him.
>>67210492

I was shocked they didn't fire him after the sweep last year.
