Hey guys. That made me so happy to read. I was actually coming to the site to post the following letter and to encourage you to do the same. Take a look at it and please join in with me!

PS - Portillo Rules!

Dear NBA,

Please take note of the wonderful opportunity presenting the league right now. The competition in the west is stellar as never before. As a lifelong Spurs fan I cannot wait to see San Antonio go up against the new rosters of Los Angeles, Phoenix and Dallas. Then when you thrown in the up and coming Hornets, Warriors and everyone else, it looks to be a great western conference playoffs.

However the defacto JV league in the east continues to fall farther and farther behind. I feel one reason is that the competition is always so weak it begets itself. Please, reseed the playoff format. Get rid of the east/west conference seeding now, then reseed after every round and allow the system to at least have the chance of having the best series in the finals. For many years in a row this has not been the case, to the detriment of your product and bottom line. Honestly you have a great interest in fixing this obvious flaw in your product. Give the people what they want!

Looking forward to any response.

Lee Portillo
