While I’m excited for the real NBA season to start, I feel like it’s a bit of an overkill. First, half the teams in the league make the playoffs, eight from the East and West conference. The recent trend is that the West is more of a run-and-gun type of offense, usually racking up over 100 points per team per game. Their games are way more entertaining than the Eastern Conference, where slow, more methodical offenses are run along with slight tighter defense. More often than not, a couple of teams are below 0.500 winning percentage in the Eastern Conference. One of my concerns is why the league rewards mediocrity and even sub-par play.
