I completely agree with your proposed playoff format. Giving the top two seeds a bye and having the lowest seeds play a one and done gives more meaning to the regular season, particularly since home court advantage hasn’t proven to be that much of an advantage in recent years. And as you note, going to 1-1-1 guarantees that each team’s fans will be able to attend least one home game.

I love the format options presented. Does Cathy read this site??
And yes, Talbot’s OREBs in the 4th we’re frustrating to watch from the Mystics side. They sealed any chance of a late comeback.
