Hated it at first because I loved the regular season meaning something
BUT
The top 8 is what will make the regular season still matter. A first round bye and a home game in round 2 is huge. You can’t lose more than a game or 2 to get that top 8 seed.
And in years where you slip up and lose a third game your season isn’t over. Still have a fighting chance. It will also make more games appealing to watch where teams are on the bubble.
After going to all the playoff games last year I can’t imagine a season where we don’t make the playoffs now. It was so **** exciting that I want to make it every year. That’s just not a reality year in and year out at 12 teams.
