It would eliminate the open dates for the top seeds which gives us as fans four extra games to watch and keeps teams from getting cold.

I like 16 instead of 14 for the simple fact that it does away with the bye. But 50% of the teams making the post season is too much. It would be like a 64 team college football playoff to put it into perspective. You get far enough down the line that you are rewarding teams that really have no business being in the playoffs. Sure one of them may go on a run and win it all but it drastically marginalizes the regular season.
