I love the single game elimination, but would consider 2 changes…
1. Same format, just give everyone a bye weekend after reg szn. More time for rest, ticket sales & better promotion.
2. Best of 3 in Rd 1 & 2 in the higher seeds barn. Fri & Sat plus mini game. Finals best of 5.
“Per the CBA, playoffs must be completed within a 7-week window — regardless of format within reasonable efforts.”
It’s great that Dawson points this out. If you’ve had issues with the playoff scheduling drama of the last 2 playoffs, you should not support an increase to 3 best of 3s (potentially 9 games) in 7 weeks.
