I still don't know about score differential vs overall record, like for example when the Wolves were eliminated even though they had the best overall record in the West they ended up getting two new easier games against Memphis and San Antonio added to their schedule, seems sort of unfair, like being rewarded in the big picture for missing the IST

seems like they way to go would be to expand the tourney have everyone play twice in the group stage and add another round to the knockout stage, then tie breakers wouldnt matter as much and the nba can squeeze more juice out of their successful new thing

I liked the point diff, players got salty about it.

xp yeah the home and away would be good. if and when the nba expands to 32 teams, they could easily do the 8 winners of 4-team divisions which would be 6 games of home-and-away group games.
