the guaranteed loss is just 8 games


How so? There would be no Game 6 or 7....four first round series in each conference 4x2x2=16 games that could never happen.

"Here's money you will never see. It's right there, but we want you to leave it on the table because some people want the season to end 2 weeks earlier"

Good luck on Shark Tank with that pitch

What's the deal with these leagues wanting to add playoff teams? Especially the NBA that has a long enough playoff as it is.




Why do you think? To increase ratings.

Mainly it's to get Zion in the playoffs.

I absolutely think teams would be fine with a week rest. They just dont want the two month shite that we've gotten

games 6 or 7 in any series aren’t guaranteed to happen. Just games 1-4 in a best of 7

I loved that the first round was best of 5 and the NBA playoffs lost excitement when they made it best of 7

If you asked players and coaches: as a 1 seed would you rather: 1) play the 8 seed or 2) sit 2 weeks and then play a top 8 team in the league? It would almost unanimously be 1

Yes they're not guaranteed to happen, by any stretch, but they are guaranteed *not* to happen if they go to 5 game series
