Adam Silver, National Basketball Association commissioner, said he was considering the option of changing the shape of the playoffs in the coming years. A new scheme is being discussed in which the first 16 teams of the regular season to form pairs in the eliminations, regardless of the conference they compete in, the first to play against the 16th, the second to the 15th and so on. Currently, the first eight teams of the two conferences play in two different streams, with the best of them qualifying for the grand final for the title. In many cases, however, the strongest teams are from a conference and they meet before the match for the championship trophy. `Many people want to have the strongest teams in the final, but now they can meet in the finals of one of the two conferences, and we continue to discuss this issue with great care. in the coming years, `Silver commented.

The winners of the individual playoff matches will still be determined after a series of 4 wins in 7 games.
