You brought up several excellent points. I especially agree that the whole east/west thing has to change. It’s crazy how much more competitive the Western Conference is. It’s not fair to the teams in the west who work so hard to get a 4th or 5th seed. If they were in the East they would probably be in the finals. I don’t know if shortening the season would change anything though. Guys would probably still rest. Teams would still tank. It sucks but I’m not sure changing the length of the season would do anything about it. I wish they would just play hard every night. I thought it was impressive that Lebron played all 82 games last season. Didn’t even rest one. I wish more players would follow his example. Lastly, I think having the same championship matchup is fine. Yes, It’s not ideal. It might not be what the fans want to see but you can’t punish a team for being good. I hate the warriors just as much as the next guy but what they have done is very impressive. Lebron being able to take his guys to the finals every year is equally impressive. Hopefully, someone will be able to take down the warriors soon but I don’t have a problem with them playing for a title every year. They earned it.
