I'm not sure that I like the change. I kind of like the top 2 seeds having a lead in, easier game against a 7th, 8th, 9th or 10th seed to warm up with. Under the new format, the 1 & 2 seeds would be coming in cold, not having played in 8-10 days, and be facing a 3 or 4 seed with a game under their belts or a 5th or lower seed on a 3 game winning streak, feeling pretty good about themselves.

But if you notice, those other teams coming up against 1 and 2 seeds will be playing those games in consecutive days. I think that nullifies some of the issues with being warmed up or on fire and playing a cold team. The 1 & 2 seed teams may be "cold", but they'll be playing tired competition.
