I agree about a 7 seed that made it by 3-4 loses then they are suddenly out to a 10 seed and losing out on atleast 2 home playoff games. I don't see that sitting well with an owner of a team. Not to mention that 9-10 place team getting swept in the first round while losing by 25 a game.
Also seems like another way to protect the 1 seed super team. Seems like every year Dabron was on the heat they would play every other night and their series was over in like 6 days while everyone else was playing 5-6 games in 2 weeks. Or in 2018 when we beat the Thunder in 6 but had to be in Houston 36 hours later for game 1.
