The NBA is now officially realigning to six divisions. Here they are, from NBA.com:

 

East

Atlantic

Boston

New Jersey

New York

Philadelphia

Toronto

 

Central

Chicago

Cleveland

Detroit

Indiana

Milwaukee

 

Southeast

Atlanta

Charlotte

Miami

Orlando

Washington

 

West

Southwest

Dallas

Houston

Memphis

New Orleans

San Antonio

 

Northwest

Denver

Minnesota

Portland

Seattle

Utah

 

Pacific

Golden State

LA Clippers

LA Lakers

Phoenix

Sacramento

 

Now then, back to the original question: Since the conferences are so admittedly lopsided, do you think that with these realignments that the NBA should do like NFL and MLB and give out their awards to players in each conference?

I don't think the NBA should divide the awards. Dividing them would only give a weaker player an award that they don't deserve. An Eastern conference player is fully capable of winning an award if he deserves it.

I'm not sure about the awards thing, but as far as the realignment goes, I like it, although the divisions do seem really weird. The main reason I approve is because my favorite teams, the Bulls and T-Wolves, both have good shots- The Bulls should get 3rd place next year, and Minnesota should easily win their division. But damn... That Southwest division will be tough as fuck with 4 playoff caliber teams in there. Conversely, all the teams in the Southeast division suck balls except for the Magic.

As far as the divisions go, I don't see the point. Just split it into two leagues, and take the top 8 teams edit: from each league. I don't think any casual fan really notices the division winners as it is nowadays.

The Magic sucks balls worse than any team this year.

Yeah, I didn't realize the Magic were 1-10 and on a 10 game losing streak until I watched ESPNews tonight. What happened? They were a playoff team last year.

Let’s see how accurate Rob E Dangerously was:

 

NORTHEAST: Boston, New Jersey, New York, Philadelphia, Toronto

SOUTHEAST: Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Orlando, Washington

MIDEAST: Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit, Indiana, Milwaukee

 

MIDWEST: Dallas, Houston, Memphis, Minnesota, New Orleans

SOUTHWEST: Denver, Phoenix, Sacramento, San Antonio, Utah

PACIFIC: Golden State, Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Portland, Seattle

 

 

Great call on the East -- Not too bad for the West.

 

Should just call the Pacific the California Division...
