The home-home format for the first round was awful. It’s like the NFL OT format that allows a team to win based on the flip of a coin without the other team getting a shot with the ball.
Should of gone with a best of 5 for first round
1+
I agree a best of 5 should be the opening round format, but alas, per the article, they are only (and at least!) changing it to a 1/1/1 which at least gives each team a freaking home game!
The league also will change the opening-round format in the playoffs to ensure the lower seeded team plays a home game. The higher seeded team will host Game 1, and Game 3 if it’s necessary. Currently the first round has the first two games at the higher seeded team.
