multiple series of 7 games to determine the best team. After a 72 game season, 1 team that was clearly much better shouldn't be eliminated because of 2 bad games, and a team that was 10th in the NBA shouldn't make it because they had a few good shooting nights in a row. Sure, the games will be entertaining, and it will be my favorite thing ever if the Lakers end up as the 7 seed and are eliminated, but I don't like giving a team that is multiple games below .500 and the 10th best team in the conference a chance to make the playoffs.
