Bit overly dramatic there, why would you pay them if there is a playoff? College hoops has it without being the NBA and they create a heck of a lot of drama. As is we have a computer making the match ups, yea a computer makes power rankings, it takes into consideration all those stats that are on paper and rankings, ranking that are wrong from the beginning and only stats that are input into its program, while ignoring the human factor. Why do we bother even playing the season anyway, just rank the teams based on the how many stars the new recruits have and how many starters are returning, 1 to 25 all in a manner of seconds. Yes I can be overly dramatic too.
