The Arizona Cardinals were 10-6 this season, yet didn't make the NFL playoffs due to the rules of allowing division champions a playoff berth instead. Considering the NFC North champions only won 8 games this year, I'd say this is unfair. The Cardinals even had a better record than the AFC 6 seed team. Rules are stupid.
Meanwhile in he NBA, the Eastern Conference is a disgrace, yet there are expected to be terrible teams making the playoffs.Only 16 NBA teams go to the playoffs. Unfortunately, it's split up between 2 different conferences and not based off of the actual 16 best records in the NBA.
Here are the 16 most dangerous teams in the NBA, in playoff-matchup form.
An italicized team is in the Western Conference.
An underlined team has a record under .500.
1 Indiana Pacers
16 Washington Wizards
2 San Antonio Spurs
15 Chicago Bulls
3 Portland Trail Blazers
14 Minnesota Timberwolves
4 Oklahoma City Thunder
13 Toronto Raptors
5 Miami Heat
12 Denver Nuggets
6 Los Angelos Clippers
11 Atlanta Hawks
7 Golden State Warriors
10 Dallas Mavericks
8 Houston Rockets
9 Phoenix Suns
Only 8 teams from each conference make the playoffs in reality. In case you didn't notice, 8 teams in the West have better records than the 3rd best team in the East. Also, the Warriors are awesome.
