just eliminate divisions and conferences ... home/home with every team ..... shortens season and gives fan bases the hope of playoffs deeper into regular season and allows fans to see every team in their home arena.
NBA is what it is. Season is long and drawn out but that's what makes it one of, if not the best 'situational' betting sport in the world.
Sure the overall 'court product' suffers and it's invariably influenced for the most part but I'm over the 'fan' shit, I save that for football and baseball. NBA is strictly about money for me.
There is way too much 'impurity' in the college game for me to stomach watching the regular season but absolutely love March Madness.
