It’s only a matter of time before the NBA decides to do away with conferences and gives us a playoff bracket seeded one-through-16. Commissioner Adam Silver says the change has been heavily discussed.

Will that make the NBA playoffs better? It’s hard to say, but here’s what this year’s first-round matchups would look like if conference affiliation didn’t matter…

And here’s what we’re actually getting…

Eastern Conference:

(1) Toronto vs. (8) Washington

(2) Boston vs. (7) Milwaukee

(3) Philadelphia vs. (6) Miami

(4) Cleveland vs. (5) Indiana

Western Conference:

(1) Houston vs. (8) Minnesota

(2) Golden State vs. (7) San Antonio

(3) Portland vs. (6) New Orleans

(4) Oklahoma City vs. (5) Utah

Only one current playoff team would not make it in the new system: The Washing Wizards, who finished behind the Denver Nuggets in the league standings.

While we should get plenty of intriguing matchups this year, we’d get even more under this set-up. How crazy would a Cav-Warriors second-round matchup be?

Which playoff bracket would be more entertaining to watch? Tell us your opinion…
