I still think knocking the season down to 40 games a year would work wonders. 7 games a month for 6 months. Heck split the league to two divisions like the AL and NL in baseball and add a few more franchises. Even let the leagues interchange for 4-5 games a year. You don't have to play every team in the NBA every year. Thats also what makes college basketball so great. Even practicing for the upcoming matchup is a huge deal in football where they have 7 days to prepare and talk about it. I can't remember the last team even on the verge of playoff seeding when I felt a regular season game was important. Probably never.

Heck add two wildcard games. Let the 7th place team choose to play the 8th 9th or 10th place team and let the other two be forced to play in the other wildcard game.

In my opinion Basketball never belonged with more then 50 games a season. Its not a outdoor stadium in the middle of summer and its more physically opposing and hard work in practice. To many games and they try to play a unimportant game like its a big deal because of the name of the franchise. A 4 game loosing streak can mean nothing in the NBA but mean the difference between a 3 seed and a 8 in college. I don't watch much NBA basketball but the times have changed and thats just my 2 cents.
