I maintain that the current playoff structure is a disaster. The Division Series should be 7 games, not 5. It leaves open the biggest gap for the worst team among the final 8 to advance to the final 4 with the least guarantee of being the better team. I remember the end of 2006 thinking, wow, we really blew away the league the whole year but we still haev two lesser teams taking potshots at us trying to get lucky and St. Louis did.
