I have been reading and hearing much about the injustice that has been cast upon the Dallas Mavericks: 60 wins during the regular season and they end up with the fourth seed in the Western Conference playoffs. I disagree that this is an injustice.

The way the divisions are set up in the NBA at this time, it is proper and just the Mavs are only the fourth seed-- they didn't win their division, they didn't win any of the other divisions, either, so they are the fourth seed. This is not the first time this has happened in sports, and it won't be the last as long as the league's conferences are structured the way they are. The only way to achieve justice: Eliminate divisions. That's the only way to solve the problem in a fair and just manner. If next season a change is made and a division winner is seeded any lower than number three then that will be an injustice, too, because that team won a division, so why should they be penalized for winning less than annother team that won more games but came in second in their division?

The only way to balance the scales of justice: Eliminate divisions.
