Quote:Yup. It's only happened twice in history. It's about to become 3 times (most likely anyway) this season.


So, that's 3 times in the past 6 seasons. It is becoming frequent. Idk what is causing this to happen now (parity,, salary,, ownership?). Really, I have no idea why it's occuring.


But, the fact is that it is occuring now,, with regular frequency. I'd say 2 seasons in a row, and 3 of 6 seasons is definitely frequent.


If it continues,, there will likely be some type of reseeding change to the playoffs. I seriously doubt they'd do away with divisions. I doubt they'd do away with division winners automatically qualifying. But I could definitely see them reseeding to where a team with a losing record in the playoffs has to go on the road. A change of that sort could happen.


If this "trend" doesn't continue the next few years, there will be nothing to worry about.
