it would be retarded if they rearranged the brackets after the 1st round just cause of an upset
but yea going back to 2-2-1-1-1 for finals is great...imo previous format put too much pressure for #1 overall seed when they lose a home game in the first 2 games...a much higher chance of not playing on home court again haha

Why would they always assume that #1 always beat #8...sure it's rare to see an upset in nba..but i think it's dumb personally.. if you come in 8th, you should have the hardest path to the finals.. thus having you face #2 or whoever is the highest seed after. but that's just my opinion
