Now that Golden State is no longer mathematically able to make it into the playoffs I thought I’d finally weigh in with what I think would make for the best playoff structure.  Personally I still like East vs. West.  I don’t like the people that say seed 1-16 and let things fall how they will.  As I’ve said in a previous podcast I think that the way to fix the playoff system is to take the top 6 from each conference.  So here would be the seedings as of right now.

East
1. Boston

West
1. LA Lakers
2. New Orleans
3. San Antonio
4. Utah
5. Houston
6. Phoenix
