That’s horrible. A 5 game series means the higher seed played more road games.

Just a horrible idea for fans, owners, players.


Higher seed only plays more road games if the series is 5 games. If the higher seed is going to lose in 5 games then why should we think the end result could have been any different under a 2-2-2-1 format.

2-3-2 makes for a more interesting series.

Thanks, captain obvious.

At no point should there be a possibility for a road team to hold more games than the home team.
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.
