Mike Miller 21 Points/5 Threes Full Highlights (4/14/2014)
Adam Silver has said that he’s willing to consider the idea of having just the top 16 teams make the playoffs, instead of the top 8 from each conference. This is a stupid idea, borne from Western Conference fans being upset that there is a team in the East who is making the playoffs with…
