Summary: This is not David Stern's NBA anymore. The old commissioner is out of sight and out of mind, but his successor has been keeping a relatively low profile. Sooner or later, Adam Silver is going to put his imprint on the NBA ... it is just a matter of when. Silver has said the NBA is exploring different changes in all facets of the game, and in this interview with 1280thezone in Salt Lake City, I make a recommendation on Silver's behalf: Let Eastern Conference teams play Western Conference teams in the postseason. Seeds the teams 1 through 16, with division winners getting the top six seeds, and then go bracket style to get a mix of East vs. East, West vs. West and East vs. West.
