Zach Lowe put this up on Grantland. Summary: Divisions in the NBA are dumb and pointless and should go away. Can't say I disagree with that.

I don't like the rehashed tournament ideas (they should use OSL format) but the divisions have been pointless for a while now. At the very least keep them in name only, but remove the rewards for winning one.

The real cure is to get rid of the terrible front office personnel but we know that won't happen.

Without reading that article, is go as far to say conferences should be removed and the top 16 teams across the Nba make the playoffs.

I wouldn't be surprised if the eastern 8 seed makes it with 35 or less wins this year.

Yes, they divisions are a little silly, but does it really matter? When was the last time someone won the Finals or even made the Finals without being at least a 4 seed?

Well hey, in the 80s 40ish win teams made the playoffs regularly as a 4th seed. It happens.

I just found out that Austin Rivers is still in the NBA. Doc must be calling in some big favors on that.

What's going on with Brooklyn? Holy shit; I'm not sure the Knicks are the worst team in NY.

Deron, AK and Lopez injured, Pierce and Garnett too old to make up for them.

Their starting five doesn't look like they're trying to tank.
