Here are a few ideas to spice it up:
-
8 games instead of 4 spread across Nov - December, home and home each team
-
Tournament starts before new year, finals in the first week of January
-
Finals held at home of the team with the better record or +/-
-
Final 4 teams, guarantee entry into play-in/playoffs
This will create added excitement and will keep it lasting into the new year!
Than from this, we have a month to look forward to All Star weekend. Than after that, the NBA Playoffs.
What do yall think?
Two wild cards from Each Conference advance, and you play a second 4-game-round of group play.
Top two teams of each conference second round advance to knock out round.
Semifinal: 2nd in East plays 1st in West, and 1st in East plays 2nd in West.
