So far I have enjoyed this new concept. But I can’t help but wonder if it would have been a good idea to mix it up even more by having east and west groups together in the bracket.

Have the 1st and 4th seed west teams and the 2nd and 3rd seed east team on one side of the bracket and then the reverse on the other side?

I think it might make for some fun match ups. Make it stand out a bit more from the playoffs. And who knows maybe get an east vs east for or west va west for the nba cup.

I guess tell me why this idea is dumb and wouldn’t work. :)
