Remind me again why this is beneficial? So let’s say the knicks miss the top 6 by a game, or even home court advantage by the 5th seed etc. IF the nba wants to continue with this they MUST give some sort of reward for the regular season and an edge in the real playoffs, because this feels more like a punishment.
All these people defending this nonsense will be the first ones complaining if the knicks miss out on a top 4 seed by 1 game to let’s say miami who missed this and got to play cupcakes for two extra games.
