How about this suggestion?

[Batkins]

We've already seen this playoff season how susceptible teams are to injury...one reason is the extended amount of time the playoffs add to already beaten-up bodies. So here's my suggestion...why not make it the best of seven UNLESS one team goes up 3-0? In other words, if a team wins the first two games, a win in game 3 would end it. In view of the fact that no team has EVER (in 116 tries) come back from 3-0, that might shorten this two-month playoff period by a couple of weeks and keep us from watching meaningless games, like the one being played in Cleveland tonight.

I don't believe any team had done it in baseball either until the Red Sox did it to the Yankees. It's not over until the fat lady sings!

Think I just saw a ghost

Well the Hawks are going to be the first so I'm glad that's not the rule.  But in reality that's a decent idea.

Or a five game series

Well that would never happen since the league is a business first. I do like the idea of something like this though.

I would suggest that the Hawks all fly down to Miami to see LeBron's "doctor".
