Didn't that happen 3 out of 4 times in the finals?
I guess 2 of those times had my guy KD dropping a game clinching 3 in his face.
He doesnt have Kd, Iggy or Klay this time

Are you advocating for a simple knock-out tournament? The 7th seed loses to the 10th seed and then they are out?
The current design gives the 7th and 8th seeds a double chance. It rewards them for their higher finish. To miss the playoffs they have to lose twice.
The 9th and 10th seeds have to win twice in order to make the playoffs. Compared to one win for the 7th and 8th seeds. I'm not sure how that can be interpreted as rewarding the lower ranked teams - they are at a fair disadvantage.
