Had a crazy thought the other day...
At the divisional round, let the #1 seed pick the team they want to play (other than the #2 seed, so the #2 seed still gets its home game). Could do the same thing at the WC round with the #3 seed picking which of #5 and #6 they want to play. (Again, leaving #4 out of it so they keep their home game).
It would increase the advantage of being the #1 seed (and the #3 seed, relative to the other WC round participants), which may or may not be a good thing.
It would also provide some interesting opportunities for gamesmanship, bulletin-board material, etc.
I know it'll never happen, but it's intriguing to think about.
