Its absurd, and they seem to be happy with it (beats me). I think the argument is the long season is akin to having more playoffs, or better put, the long season ensures the best teams are making the playoffs (since there is a much larger sample size). Not sure I agree with it, but thats the argument.
Im hopeful the long awaited 2022 revamp will happen with a new CBA, but who knows. The proposed 14 team playoff is almost as wacky & absurd as the current one, but at least it allows for 2 more team to make the playoffs and still gives the 'traditionalists' their enhanced value to the regular season (1st round bye for best team and 'selection of opponent' for the other 2 division winners).
