It's totally different playing the same team 4-7 times in a row vs a different team every night. The officials can't help but call it differently and teams can strategize and play the Matchup game better and be more physical. Plus the sudden death overtime changes things. A loss is a loss, no loser point.
They should break up the regular season into series as well similar to baseball. Play a 3 game series against the same team.
