Do away with the current playoff structure and implement 1-16...Will the more talented upper echelon teams more than likely win their first round matchups? Yes but we will still be treated to high level basketball within the middle of the pack.
Make homecourt determined by who won the regular season matchup. If the team splits the series then go into ancillary statistics like margin of victory, fg % turnovers & fouls.
Eliminate Hack A Shaq by introducing a new sort of bonus. If one player is hacked more than five times in a quarter then from that point on every foul on that player will count as 2 fouls and the player that was fouled team will receive the ball back.
Am I on to something?
No - you are not, sir.
But I have fixed it.
Change the Playoffs to 9 seeds in each conference.
The top 3 seeds are the winners of each division (seeded by record), and the remaining seeds are the 6 best records of the teams left.
Teams 4-9 play each other best 2 out of 3, then the winners play the winners in the divisional rounds.
This will hold out some hope yearly for the perennial bottom seeds that can't seem to get right, as well as add a little revenue
for at least a couple of games.
