>Team A has the best record for the season
>Team B wins the trophy
Explain this shit Amerifats.
They played each other and team B won more
Team B could not defeat Team A in a head-to-head match-up. In sports, this is what is referred to as 'choking.'
Without a final test a season is worthless.
>>68718059
Learn 2 playoffs, faggot. You'll learn soon enough with England loses in the Euros.
>>68718059
Team A played Team B seven times in a row to prove they were indeed the best and could not.
>>68718059
Success in American sports is defined by the team's ability to be successful in a playoff format. Not just a number
>>68718079
Ahktualy the season record is 5-4 in favor of the Warriors. Please give a better explanation
>>68718059
>muh record
I didn't know Bongs were more obsessed with stats than Americans.
>>68718059
Like a knockout round formed by the top seasonal teams, except multiple games are played for a more fair judgement of abilities.
>>68718090
Yeah. I miss the BCS too.
>>68718090
This. Canada's got it right for once. Only in North America do we have a true championship decided by final contests.
And there is only one championship a team can win in a given sport, because unless you're the -only- champion you're not a champion at all.

>>68723006
I'd let her smoke my pole desu
The regular season is like the Premier League and the playoffs are like the Champions League. Why is this so hard for Europeans to understand?
>>68723126
To make the playoffs? To perfect your team, to get a nice schedule.
Same reason there is group stage/round robin etc in world cups or whatever
>>68723176
That may be true, but the only difference between a prison shower and a soccer changing room, is in prison you have to drop the soap before they fuck you.

It's a pretty terrible way to decide a championship desu
>b-but clevaland beat gsw more times!
except that's wrong, because if you include the regular season then gsw is the better team
>lose to the opposing team
>you don't get a trophy
pretty easy to follow, i think
>>68723205
So the play-offs contain teams that didn't take part in the regular season then?
>>68723205
So in the NBA playoffs, you play completely different teams than regular season? Or don't you know what the CL is?
And you believe 7 games is a better way to choose your champion than 82 games? You know it is about TV contracts, not fairness, right?
Why don't you copy other sports and have a league champion based on league games and a separate cup (knockout/playoff) champion?
>>68723376
this is a dude isn't it
>>68718232
i'm with you but it's not about American/European format,it's about what's best for each sport.
>>68723097
Good thing our playoffs have always been best of seven then
The cavs won 4 games, the Warriors won 3. That's the end of it
>>68723899
Because we're trying to determine which single team is the best, not hold a "You participated! Yay you!" bitchfest.
>>68718102
Why not a 100 times in a row?
>>68723960
This guy gets it
Playoffs are okay in egghand because you can't play 64 games a season with the number of injuries teams get per game. Icefight, Apehoop and Boreball only have playoffs because American sports fans have ADHD
>>68723960
Nah, it is that Americans are dumb enough to allow this shit while networks get rich from Budweiser, Geico and Ford commercials.
>>68723097
Wanna go best of 7 Wars?
Y'all ready down 2.
>>68723899
It's not just 7 games. The teams have to play several seven game series to even get to that point. 7 games is more full proof than the two games they play in champions league
It's like European domestic leagues and Champions league. You win your division/league to have the right to play in the tournament that actually matters.
>>68724003
Networks get rich regardless
>>68718168
What's the World Cup? What's the Champions League?
>>68721336
I think he means multiple champions in a league.
EPL has like three trophies a season or somethung
>>68723987
You already know, after 82 games, who is the best. The playoffs are for making money for the league and networks. You understand that, right?
Do you honestly believe the 18-1 Patriots were not the best team in the league? Of course they were. If you say the Giants were better, kill yourself.
The regular season is like qualifying and the playoffs are the finals
Like how England were perfect in qualifying for the euros but are going to be knocked out in the group stage
>>68724047
Giants literally lost by a point in the regular season
>>68724057
Literally already through.
>>68724047
If GSW was the best team in the league why didn't they win this series after being 3-1 up?
>>68724047
If the Patriots were better, how come the Giants won?
>>68724033
Do you not understand the difference?
Seriously?
You just say words without comprehension?
Do you think Arsenal plays in the World Cup?
Do you think the Champions League is the same as the Bundesliga?
Do you know the difference between a national and club competition?
>>68724080
Because in a single game, a team can perform poorly. (See Denver in the owl in '13 and Seattle in the owl in '14) Also sometimes miracles happen
>>68724099
>Do you think Arsenal plays in the World Cup?
I'm guessing no.
>Do you think the Champions League is the same as the Bundesliga?
I don't know what either of those are.
>Do you know the difference between a national and club competition?
No.
>>68723244

>AND dubs

>>68724075
>>68724080
A team dominated the league for months, but has an day, or off quarter, or off play, or off 4:39, and you believe the months were meaningless. Everyone else is trying to explain to you that the long season means luck evens out and the best record is the best team.
Knock out competitions are about luck, which is why shit teams win cups sometimes.
>>68724002
>have 32 teams
>What are divisions
>>68723206
>He doesn't know the group stages are 90% about making money by having teams play eachother twice
>>68718059
yea that's why I don't raelly like FA cup or any national cup, if you want to decide who is the best only season format should matter
>>68724122
You can't really participate in the discussion then can you
>>68724110
It's more fun when games are decided in an elimination style final showdown. Underdogs have a better chance of surviving and like you said, miracles happen.
It's all entertainment value breh
>>68724041
>thinking a league gives out 3 trophies
Maybe in Egypt, not here though
>>68724200
The cup is fun and traditional in this country, but everyone understands it's function is not to decide the best team.
>statpadding and pummeling really bad teams should be rewarded
>>68724110
>Because in a single game, a team can perform poorly.
They can perform poorly three games in a row, too.
>>68723097
>Being this dumb on the internet.
Each team knew it was a best of seven. Tactics change depending on how desperate/close to elimination each team is.
For example, Lebron played a combined 15 more minutes in the last two games than the first two. If it was a best of 3 he wouldn't be saving anything.
Maybe the EPL is better at finding out who the better team is but it's not exciting with no climax.
Plus it's a 7 game series so no excuses for the better team losing.
why bother going through a season if you just disregard it as soon as is done?
>>68724250

>>68718059
>play 80 games during regular season
>they're all meaningless
>>68724257
Not every team is in the playoffs mang.
The best teams play in the playoffs, the shit teams sit at home.
The regular season serves important purposes.
1. Determine playoff positions.
2. An extended time for fans to watch or attend games (building the brand, making money).
3. Separate the GOATS from the flashes in the pan when it comes to stats.
Think of your greatest sports memories of all time. All of them are from championships or elimination matches.
>>68724314
So you've determined which teams are better than others right? Why bother with the play-offs at all?
>>68723125
Yeah man you should abolish the Grand Final, that'll get the Aus public interested in domestic semen-slurp good thinking.
The NBA regular season is way too long though, most games don't mean anything.

I didn't say just for money. It's a bonus, tho.
You spend the regular season getting the kinks out of your team and working on chemistry. You hopefully win while this happens. You make it into the playoffs to play the best teams in the league. It's weeks and weeks of good teams playing good teams. Shit teams are out, nobody cares about them, anyways. A final all out war determines the victor.
I don't see why this is so strange to you. A short elimination style series is so much more entertaining than regular season games.

>>68724616
LeBron is better. Cavs are better when it mattered most.
Golden state were riding high when the pressure was off. As soon as things got hard they cracked and were exposed. Thats why playoffs will always be best determination for best teams, it's high pressure and high risk and the athletes who might be superior physically and in skill, will crumble if they're weak mentally.
>>68724675
But they WON the League, what could have happened in the 8th game?
>>68724685
How do you determine who gets in the playoffs then?

Different teams have different playstyles and and different methods of dealing with the regular season. A team like the Warriors who just toss 3s all day will have a much easier time in the regular season compared to a team like the Cavs who have a more tiring playstyle. But what matters is getting to the postseason. Once you get there, all bets are off.
The regular season is like when F1 cars run qualifying laps.

Fuck it I'll bite.
NBA Regular Season = Group stages of Cup
NBA Playoffs = Cup Knockout stage
There's only one competition in the NBA unlike football. In the EPL you have at least 2 competitions to compete in, with the league being the crown jewel for its teams, that also determines whether you make CL, EL, or get relegated. FA cup is also up for grabs during this time.
Then there is the CL where teams from other countries compete against one another.
In the NBA, the real competition starts after regular season, and determines the true winner of the tournament. There is only one cup up for grabs every year in the NBA, so they determine the winner of the cup via knockout stage.
>>68718059
Real sports are decided by head to head matchups not gay math
>>68725197

You don't play the same teams in the group stage as the other ones in the knockout
League is so fucking dull compared to playoffs or UCL formats.
>>68725540
but you play the winners of the group stage, or in the NBA's case, top 8 teams of conference, which is what it ultimately boils down to.
If England rarely squeak by the group but keep winning in the knockouts, they're the better team, meme magic or not.
NBA system has differences from Euros or CL but the structure during the knockouts is the same; if you win, you advance to next stage.
>>68724637
That's like the NFL, where one bad game end your season. In the NBA the better team wins the best of 7. There are usually no flukes.

When the kings father was asked for question his response was "I am so proud, the money we made from selling him at 6 feed us all for a day".
>>68726198
Not ignoring as much as it doesn't change how the overall concept of an NBA season as compared to a a major football cup competition.
Not saying they are the same but the overall concept and structure is similar. Teams have 82 games to crack the top 8 for knockout stages, then the best teams battle for the ring. Whether that's too many games is up to the fans to decide, but the concept is very similar; you're trying to reach knockout stages.
NBA's structure is flawed but at least it determines who is the best team of the year, regardless how they did during "group stages" or in burger terms, in the regular season.

So who is the best team? The team who won a few match at one specific time or the team who won more games than any other team in history?
No team has ever won the euros, world cup etc by winning less games than another team

i think eurofags have the nfl playoff system mixed up. there are two conferences, the national football conference and the american football conference. throughout the playoffs the conferences have three games to play, all one-and-down deals but the team with the best overall regular season record for a division (in this case: north, east, south, and west) have a bye in that they don't participate in the opening elimination round because they were the best of their conference. it all leads up to the nfc and afc conferences in which the winner is determined representative of said conference and they both go to the super bowl. the regular season wins matter, especially if they're divisional wins as a team whose had the best win record in a division is guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. But someone like the 2007 and 2011 giants, in which they went in the super bowl with low records, had the best on-road record in the league those years and so they were given a spot in the playoffs. it all comes down to how well the teams play whether in their division, or with opponents outside their division. it makes for much more interesting games than a points system t.b.q.h f a m

If you are already qualified for the playoffs and guaranteed 1st seed then you're just trying to win games for vanity's sake, because those games are rendered meaningless. Like this last game of the group stages for France, Spain, and Italy for Euro 2016, you don't need to win them because you're in; it's meaningless.
So if that specific time is the knockout stage, then that team in that specific time is the best team, because they won during the knockout stage, which is what really matters in the end.
>No team has ever won the euros, world cup etc by winning less games than another team
Spain won the WC in 2010 despite losing their first group stage game. Netherlands won all 3 of theirs.

So you have a lot of meaningless games that literally don't matter. Only Italy are guaranteed to win their group too

Spain won 6 games in total to win the world cup. Same number as the dutch won. Are you saying that both teams in this final won the same number over the course of the whole tournament?

Winning the league means everything while winning the season means nothing
>>68718059
season is played to earn a right to play in a tournament. if you cant win the tournament you dont get the trophy. pretty simple.
>>68726723
Well? You still Googling?
>>68718102
So team rated #2 is declared the best
>>68718059
Unbalanced schedule, regular season doesn't mean shit
>>68720434
that's why to win the league is way more important and prestigious than to get the cup. Your "league" is in fact only a cup

A final test makes the point of going #1 in the season worthless. Who would give a fuck about being 1st or 3rd in regular seasons ? Seeding for a BO7 matchup ? Top kek. Apart for the shitty loser flags that some teams like to handle in their arenas whenever they do something in the season but fail to win the grand prize there's no point.
I agree playoffs are more entertaining than a season but 82 fucking games (even mote for boreball) ? That's just plain and pure stupidity
>>68724047
You know what makes sports so enduring right? It's the spirit of competition, why the fuck wouldn't you want to fully embrace this and use a system that puts the most on the line?
Your league system is nothing but low test cuckery, an insult to what makes sports enjoyable in the first place.

>So you have a lot of meaningless games that literally don't matter.
If you qualify and are guaranteed a 1st seed, then yes they are meaningless games. Spain, France, and Italy are already qualified, whether they choose to win the group is up to them.
>Spain won 6 games in total to win the world cup. Same number as the dutch won. Are you saying that both teams in this final won the same number over the course of the whole tournament?
Correct, Spain and the Dutch had an equal amount of games won, after the cup. Prior to the match, Spain had less games won than the Dutch.
It's actually the opposite. Do you think Leicester would have won if they had a playoff run after their holy season ? It makes all of their effort pointless
>>68727337
Well if you're structured to only have a season with no playoffs, then you put all your eggs in that basket and go for it.
If there is a knockout stage and you're team is guaranteed qualified, you fucking put your heart and soul in to winning the knockout games. Similar to a major football cup competition.

Only in America could Chelsea be an average side for a season and still be called champs
It might not be entirely fair, but it sure as hell is more entertaining to watch
Why not make two trophies???
The season one and the playoffs one.
Like the domestic league and the champions league.
>>68727514

Not talking about basketball specifically, not a big fan of said sport. But the idea of ending with a playoff is something that appeals to me. Seasonal play never manages to interest me because you have to watch all the matches since every match is of little importance in and of its own. With tournaments it's much easier to get invested, and a playoff is entertaining for the same reason, that it really matters who wins and loses. Why even care about matches early in a season for example? Can't really get invested, whether it's football, basketball, baseball, whatever.
>>68727633
Thed do have a season too and it's pointless.
I'd watch the playoffs if it was just three matches and one in the final.
I hate this 5 or 7 matches.
Season play determines what team is best over a long period of time and many games. Playoffs determine what team is best performing under intense scrutiny and pressure and workload.
They are two different animals and the best leagues have both. Naturally the playoffs are more exiting and watched.
>>68727514
Because in America only winners deserve trophies. No participation trophies or irrelevant trophies. If you aint first yer last.

Except they don't because they didn't win in the knockout stages.

Because you're not getting it. The NBA regular season is a qualifier/group stage for the playoffs. It's all rolled into one.
If you win the most games, then you should be able to win the playoffs as well. If you can't do that, you're a fucking pretender of a team and don't deserve that #1 spot.
