Hello, I am a novice from China. It seems playoffs are all determined by one game. Why not change it to be determined by three games ?

that would mean that the playoffs would be 1/3 of the whole season and seasons would be 4-5 months long. 3 months is already long enough.

It simply isn't doable in Buzzerbeater's two league games per week format. Not without major changes to the schedule and the way game shape works during the play-offs. It doesn't add much to the play-offs either, as even with the finals being Bo3, whoever takes game 1 usually takes the series.

I would sooner argue in favour of a single game, neutral venue finals, and the scrapping of the all-star break, to bring the season down to 13 weeks and speed up the game.

Maybe not every playoff game, but Semifinal(conference final) and Final both should be bo3.

Still requires significant changes to the play-off schedule. In this case you'd have to drop the quarter-final round and make semi-final game 3's have no influence on game shape. It's certainly not the worst idea, as having just 4 play-off teams makes the regular season more meaningful.
