Limits tanking to an extent. I am ok with it.Incredibly dumb idea and decision.

When was the last time that happened?it also heavily decreases the chances that a team with a losing record will make the playoffs in a given season.
Instead of keeping the play-in tournament for next season...
The solution I have here is much better than a play-in tournament. While it means sometimes one conference will have more playoff teams than the other (which is solved by the CFL-style crossover rule), it also heavily decreases the chances that a team with a losing record will make the playoffs in a given season.
I hate this tournament so much.
Mostly because it potentially rewards below average play, especially in the Eastern Conference.
