| Pretty crazy, was great seeing the Celtics fans faces though hah!
Man, the balance of power looks like its gonna stay in the West that much longer. Portland should be a perennial playoff team within a couple years with all the young guys they already have + Oden. Its good to see the Sonics probably getting Durant, cause there had been a lot of talk about the team moving / the city letting it go. This should raise the interest level in Seattle quite a bit, and they'll be a very Solid team as well if they can resign Rashard Lewis and have that Durant / Allen / Lewis trio.
I had been thinking about this even before the lottery, but here's even more reason for the NBA to think about switching the playoff format. It was already considerably more difficult to get into the playoffs in the West, and now it will be even moreso. I'd love to see them switch to the best 16 teams getting in and doing away with the East / West playoffs being separate. |
