The home field advantage in the second round (finals) is what would probably keep a team from tanking to get the 2nd spot instead of the 1st. Having said that, I still think it's unfair that the 1 seed would ever have to play a tougher team than the 2 seed. That just makes no sense from a competitive point of view.
