It sucks that a team like OKC (all of the west really) gets as good of a team as Memphis in the first round while Miami won't have to play a team that good until the finals. I think there are multiple Western teams that could beat miami, but while they battle it out all playoffs, Miami gets to coast back to the finals. They are going to get the wizards in the ECF for [expletive] sake. Every year in every sport, some conference is full of bad teams, or some division is full of bad teams, and some good team gets screwed in one way or another, be it missing the playoffs, or having to play someone tough immediately. Sucks, but that's the way it is. I am not one of the people arguing that we need to change the format or anything so that all teams are mixed up against each other. It just sucks... mostly because I hate the Heat more than I have hated any sports team in history. I know it isn't always fair, but this conference seems to be the worst example of a conference I have ever seen. At least at the beginning of the year, the pacers seemed like they could challenge. But they can't even beat a sub-.500 hawks team?
