I like the current playoff format though especially the play in games. To add some intrigue they could make the first round a single elimination game now that would be fun.

I could live with a longer playoff if the regular season was shorter. you can see players just breaking down left and right which just doesn't make for good playoff basketball. Maybe that also allows to build in more space between games too. Thankfully Knicks pacers has made for a close matchup this round.
Hope is that the game also evolves to less three pointers but feel like that won't happen anytime soon.
In any event it's disturbing to me to see teams pull starters in a playoff game. I get that being down 22 with 6 minutes left is bad, but man I dunno....
