Rounding out the top three are the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors. Also discussed are the proposed changes in Major League Baseball, which is -- among other things -- considering adding teams to the postseason. MLB is also weighing whether to let its first place teams pick its postseason opponents.
