"It’s never been harder to win an NBA championship."

And yet somehow a team does every year.

I agree with you though about the meaninglessness of the regular season. It's super long and tiring and only counts for playoff positioning. This means teams don't have time to scout and game plan. It means teams coast and only play hard for a few important games. That is why the basketball is so much more intense in the playoffs and also why the Jazz lose every year (they have a better chance this year.) Their greatest asset is also the chink in their armor. That's Gobert. They valued shooting over perimeter D because Gobert when someone gets through the perimeter Gobert is there to clean it up. But if a schemes to draw Gobert out of the key the Jazz D falls apart. The fact that teams have time to scheme and experiment is what makes the playoffs way more interesting than the regular season.

I would like to see mid season tournaments that counted towards championships some how.

3,33% of winning a championship, which when you round it out actually becomes 0,00%!!! (at least if you round it that way, and you should)
