I definitely like the new regular season changes, divisions and conferences needed to go like three seasons ago. The shorter season and round-robin style gives teams much more incentive to take every game seriously. Much applaud to the board/Bones for these changes.<br /><br />I like the shorter playoffs, too. With only the better half of the teams, it gives the playoffs a higher standard and a better sense of earned victory. However the 4th seed does get kind of shafted in this system, though. Even though they did better than the 5th seed in the regular season (which is what the whole round-robin system was supposed to promote), they still run the risk of forfeiting their playoff spot to a team who did worse than them. But I guess you didn&#039;t have a whole lot to work with in these new systems, so I guess 4th seed will just have to deal w/ it.<br /><br />Looking forward to the new season!
