You've got the Suns vs the Spurs in the second round and they're the 2 and 3 seeds respectively. IMO, this should be the West final (no disrespect to the Warriors and Rockets/Jazz) and the whole controversy about the higher ranked teams playing each other in the second round will come up again.
I don't think the format makes sense in the first place because what would be the point of giving division winners a seed in the top 4 yet allowing the 5th seed, which has a better record, to gain home court? (eg. the Bulls/Heat series)
I think the NBA should follow the same format the NHL has and have the same 8 seeds positioned by record, with the division winners in the top 4, and getting home court in the first round. In the second round, like the NHL, they should reseed according to their records to avoid the 1 vs 4 showdown and therefore the two teams with the best records would only meet in the conference finals.
I think the NBA is just lazy and wants to have its brackets.

I do not know why the NBA cannot get its playoff format correct. They have more than enough examples to look at. The NHL has the same divisional structure as the NBA and always awards the team that played their best during the regular season with home ice and their opponent is the lowest seed team to reach the next round.
This isn't rocket science. Take a math course and figure it out. To me, the current NBA playoff format is the most stupid format I have ever seen which could result in the worst conference finals and NBA finals in History.

I think the NBA is lame. If I was 7ft tall and was allowed 5 steps, I'd be a superstar.
Yeah, it didn't quite work this year, but they'll keep tweaking it. We know the NBA likes to experiment, and they've shown that they're not stubborn. If something doesn't work even for just one year, they'll try something else.
