The Regular Season is meaningless to these guys. In a 7 Game Series, with multiple days in between to practice, a completely new team is reborn. The problem with the NBA is the Cavs will end up with a 6/7 seed and still make the Finals. Its just totally different.

The NFL is fun because its a 1 game do or die. Even though I hate the Patriots so much, the fact they are so consistently able to make the Super Bowl despite do or die 1 game playoffs is incredible.

The only thing that would save the NBA is implemented a 3 Game 1st Round Series, 5 Game Second Round Series, 7 Game Eastern Conference Finals, 7 Game Finals.
