The NBA is reportedly considering resuming play with a 16-team playoff where the teams would be seeded from 1-to-16.
Los Angeles Lakers vs. Brooklyn Nets Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder
Windhorst believes the one-through-16 idea would be difficult to pass, citing Eastern Conference owners’ reluctance to accept the change. “If you’re Milwaukee, why would you vote for it this year? You might have to beat both the Lakers and the Clippers to win your title,” Windhorst said. “If you’re Boston, you’re now a five seed. If you’re Philadelphia, you’re now a 12 seed…
“I still think the stumbling block is you would need the East owners to do it, but if you’re ever going to do it, and you could convince them to sign in a one-off situation, it would be in this moment.”
