NBA commissioner Adam Silver said Friday the league will not make any changes
to its current playoff format.

"It's early days in these discussions," Silver said, via USA Today, following
the second day of owners' meetings in New York. "This was the first serious
meeting among all our board members on this subject, and the result was I
would say inconclusive as to where we should ultimately go.


Silver今日表示: 我們不會對晉級季後賽的規則做更改

他在訪問中表示: "這已經討論一段時間了." 他之後又在NBA球隊擁有者大會中說明:

"這是我們在會議第一次討論這個議題, 但即使大家目前有些共識, 我們還不會這麼快就

定案."


"It's not to say we don't think there should be a change. This is one of
these issues that's going to require a fair amount of discussion and study,
not just directly among the owners in the big room but with committees as
well."


"這不代表我們不想改變, 只是評估這樣的一個議題需要很長一段時間, 我們必須進行更多

的討論, 或是制度上的研究, 而不是我們關起門說了算就行了, 還必須經過委員會的討論,

以及評估."


There had been some talk about ensuring the teams with the best records make
the playoffs, regardless of conference. Two teams in the Western Conference,
the Thunder and Suns, finished with better records than the Nets, the Eastern
Conference's eighth seed. The Thunder's 45 wins would have been good for
sixth in the East.


有些聲音提出, 應單純以戰績決定季後賽席次, 而取消分區制度. 好比說今年的太陽與

雷霆, 成績都比東區第八種子的籃網好, 但他們卻無法打季後賽. 假如把雷霆排入東區

的話, 他們將排到第六名.


"You often have anomalies where there are inequities, this notion that you
have a team or two under .500 also. Our analytics folks showed us with the 16
teams out of 30 making the playoffs, statistically you are likely to have a
team or two potentially that are under .500 who do make the playoffs," Silver
said. "There are also owners who like the notion of tradition, and Silver
pointed out, this year's playoff seeds and qualification wasn't determined
until the final day of the season."


Silver: "一定會有不公平的產生, 從30支隊伍取16支進入季後賽的標準來看, 我們

算出其中就有可能會有一到兩支球隊勝率不到五成. 而也有些球對老闆喜歡現有的制度."

他又指出一點: "看看今年的季後賽, 許多排名可是到最後一刻才揭曉."


Owners also want to wait until they know how the new television contract
impacts the increase in the salary cap before they approve any changes to the
draft lottery.

"There's still a sense we need to make a change but until we know what the
team behavior is going to be with all this new cap room, we hold it and wait
and look holistically at the whole system," Silver told reporters.


在動他們的選秀簽之前, NBA球隊老闆們想先知道電視合約對於提升薪資帽的議題.

Silver: "我們已經意識到這點了, 但必須先了解大家對薪資空間的想法, 我們會先等等,

然後再看多數人的意見."


The NBA could also reduce the number of preseason games and begin the 2016-17
season earlier, as long as teams have sufficient practice time.

The league will reduce the number of games played on consecutive nights
during the regular season from an average of 19 times to 16 back-to-backs.
Teams also played four games in five days an average of three times and that
will be reduced by one starting next season.


Silver表示2016-17賽季, 為了讓球隊有充足的訓練時間, 將可能減少季前賽場次, 但賽季

也會提早開始


難道下個賽季都不會有甚麼改變?

在下一個球季, b2b的場次將會減少, 從原本平均19場降至16場, 而五天四戰的機會也會

降低, 從平均3次降為1次.







心得: 推Silver, 制度可不是說改就改, 要想的真的還很多
