My premise?
All I want is the interference called more like it was in 05/06. I dotn care about the rest of the by the book calls. Nothing will ever be 100% for anything.
One of the top seeds will make the Finals becasue they are the best teams - hence the seeding. Why do you see it as a problem? Thats a big reason why the NBA is so much more popular than the NHL. A star player or a strong team will play well in the regular season and go far in the playoffs - hence getting more exposure. The NHL is more regional becasue underdog teams can have immediate flukey success in the playoffs, but it doesnt make it more globably popular since casual fans like familiarity.
And no-one sees reffing as a big problem in the NBA, so of course its your perception. If others see it as a problem, why is the NBA breaking attendence records and continueing to have strong tv and streaming numbers? Of course its not perfect but it never will be in any sport.
I assume you dont watch a lot of NBA now since youre not a fan anymore, so I can see how your opinions would be incorrect.
I'm just curious how " call everything all the time and the players will adjust" morphed seamlessly into " I want less interference"?
As for popularity, you make a good point. That becuase the NBA is more popular than the nhl means that the NBA is doing things better than the nhl. It certainly can't be because one is 1000x more expensive and the pool of people who have played the sport is 1000x times larger for basketball
Just wondering soccer is even. More popular, does that mean fifa> NBA and that the NBA should up its current embellishment factor?
