Need to get back to one like this --

I loved these jerseys. They have a Penny Hardaway one hanging up in a local college spot here in Memphis. I'm always tempted to ask them if they are selling it and for how much

.

They had a Mitch Richmond one for sale here in Sac this year

NBA alters playoff seeding system

Changes will keep top two teams in conference from early matchup



By Damien Pierce
Rockets.com

The NBA reshuffled its playoff seeding system Wednesday to ensure a conference's two best teams won't meet in the semifinals.

The first four seeds in each conference will continue to be given to the three division winners and the team with the next best regular season record.

However, the four teams will now be seeded in order of their regular season records under a new rule created by the league's Board of Governors.

The alteration would prevent the two teams with the best record in a conference from meeting before the conference finals.

Last season, Dallas and San Antonio played in the conference semifinals even though they were the top two teams in the Western Conference.

The league also shortened timeouts and increased the size of playoff rosters.

The timeout change was made to make the end of a game shorter. If a team has two 60-second timeouts left in the last two minutes of regulation or in overtime, one of the two timeouts will be shortened to 20 seconds. Instead of three 60-second timeouts in overtime, teams will have two full timeouts and a 20. Teams will no longer be permitted to carry a 20-second timeout over to overtime.

The size of playoff roster were increased from 13 to 15 players, with each team designating 12 active players and up to three inactive players prior to each game.

"Our owners are intent on making the playoff seeding more fair for all teams going forward and in quickening the pace of the end of games," said Stu Jackson, NBA Executive Vice President, Basketball Operations. "The Board also thought it made sense to allow teams to utilize the same 15-man roster in the playoffs that they use during the regular season."

Is it really from 8 years ago?

I vaguely read it but @HPBasketball tweeted a link to it

My bad

This part didn't tip you off lol?

Last season, Dallas and San Antonio played in the conference semifinals even though they were the top two teams in the Western Conference.

They changed the rule after the 2006 playoffs when Dallas and San Antonio played that ridiculous conference semifinal.

so whats these rumors of 80-90 mill cap?

so whats these rumors of 80-90 mill cap?

From Zach Lowe today:

No one knows when, or how, that cap jump will happen. It’s at $63 million for this season, and teams are projecting it could leap as high as $80 million for the 2016-17 season — the first under the new TV contract. Depending on how the league and its TV partners structure the inflow of cash, there could be one or two more mini-jolts before the cap settles into a new normal around $90 million.

Grantland reported in July that the league is considering methods of pinching the onrush of money to avoid a gargantuan one-year jump in the cap level. Teams are speculating that the league might apply future TV money to the 2015-16 cap, nudging it up above the current projection of $66.5 million.

There was a footnote to that, though:

One theory floating around that makes some practical sense: The league might backload the TV deal so that networks pay a bit less than expected in 2016-17 and a bit more each year after. Why? Because teams can lock out the players after the 2016-17 season, push for a larger percentage of revenue, and slot more of the TV revenue into that post-2017 pool. Diabolical!

 

[8pm at msg]

Have the players ever won a lockout?

We always said Allan Houston was the one from "Got a Story to Tell". He was prime then and was probably smashing ratchet diggers.

Huebert Davis was a square who wasn't likely to be smashing groupie type dimes.

Even LJ before Davis.

Definitely wasn't Allan Houston
