The New Playoff Format Debate

According to all the fans of the 100-win teams, their teams were “unfairly” defeated by the “lowly” Wild Card teams. The fans believe the Wild Card teams had an unfair advantage of playing games during their off days, which gave them the proverbial preheating time to storm past them.

Of course, you won 100 games...in the regular season.

Of course, you have the better roster...in the regular season.

And, of course, they favored them to win...during the regular season.

Sound familiar?

All of these teams did what it took to get center stage, but when it came to getting on to perform, they did not make it past the first song.
