Silver of the NBA is floating the idea of making the NBA play offs between the 16 best teas, regardless of divisions. SO, why not us? Yes, it will mean the West may get shut out for years but it's reality. Take the best 4 teams - likely to be us of course, UM, Michigan State and increasingly likely, Penn State. These divisions are artificial any way. JUST a thought. Having sad that, it would mean 12 regular games, 2 BIG play off games and 1 national championship = 15 games. That's an NFL season.
