Re: Playoff Fairness
98-99 Knicks, made the finals as the 8 seed. and you are trying to tell me that they established themselves as the best team in the east that year? No, it's only a matter of getting hot late in the season, and no falling victim to injury.
At least baseball is more selective in who they actually let into the playoffs (Division winners + the team with the best record that did not win their division, often better than at least one of the division winners).
