The NBA has 2 many teams:



20 (20) Pacers 33-44 Larry Legend is finally in sole charge of the Pacers. Which tells me that Jermaine O'Neal -- who quietly made his return from injury one day before Arenas, Brand, Gasol and Nowitzki -- will at last be traded this offseason.
21 (21) Nets 32-45 Turns out Jersey won't make the playoffs and Dallas will. But Devin Harris has still made a fine start as a Net, with more double-digit assist games since March 15 (three) than he had in three-plus seasons as a Mav (two).
22 (23) Bulls 30-46 Anyone out there remember -- back before all the "Ko-be, Ko-be, Ko-be" chants and the coaching change and the inability to trade for a big name -- when the Bulls were a trendy pick to win the East? Us, neither.
23 (22) Bobcats 29-48 The Bobcats' 9-7 record in March was their most successful month ever. The problem? That was only the third most successful March in the state thanks to (A) UNC and (B) what Dell Curry's son did with Davidson.
24 (25) Grizzlies 21-56 Rudy Gay is a leading candidate for the NBA's most improved player award and the Grizz, in general, are still playing hard. So we repeat the question: Iavaroni was supposed to do more with this roster as a rookie coach?
25 (26) Clippers 23-54 We're still chuckling about this one from Sam I Am: "When I found out that Elton tore his Achilles ... I knew what this season would be. We got off to a 4-0 start and everyone went gung ho. I was like ho, ho, hold up."
26 (24) Timberwolves 19-57 Of the four teams still at risk to join Miami in the 60-loss club, Minnesota seemed the most likely escape candidate after its recent 7-8 stretch. Losing at home to Memphis, though, likely ended that post-KG dream.
27 (28) SuperSonics 18-59 Nobody rings up 168 on Seattle, as Denver did March 16, without paying the consequences. And hopefully nobody still doubts Durant's status as an ROY lock after watching what he did to the Nuggets' playoff hopes.
28 (29) Knicks 21-56 How much work is confronting front-office savior Donnie Walsh? Before the Knicks' wholly unexpected victory Sunday over Orlando, they were 2-0 since March 1 against Miami ... and 0-16 against the rest of the league.
29 (27) Bucks 26-50 They can't lose more than 56 games, but you can safely add the Bucks to the M-Stands-For-Misery trio of Memphis, Minnesota and Miami. It's a quartet now that Yi's rookie season has been ended early by a knee injury.
30 (30) Heat 13-64 One more Heat loss or Seattle win secures a 46.5 percent chance that Miami lands one of the top two picks in the draft. Of course, that leaves Riles with a 53.5 percent chance his team winds up with No. 3 or lower.

I agree wholeheartedly...
There should be no teams at all.
The only basketball should be played by The Harlem Globetrotters.
