Best division in basketball....and it's not even that close.

All teams might make the playoffs.

What happens if a team finishes second in the entire Western Conference, but are also second in their division.

You end up being a 4th seed instead of a second seed, right? Would you still get home court advantage against teams with a worse record but higher seeding?

Yea, homecourt is decided by reg season record.

That team would be the second seed in the conference.

[Ice009]

That team would be the second seed in the conference.

I thought the division winners get the top 4 seeds regardless of their record?

The three division winners all get a top 4 seed. The other top 4 seed goes to the 2nd place team with the best record. That team can be seeded as high as #2. In your scenario, that team would be the 2 seed.

OK, thanks a lot Mel.

OK, thanks a lot Mel.

They changed it after the 2005-06 season when the Spurs and Mavs had the two best records, but the Spurs got the 4th seed because the division winners got the top 3 seeds. So the teams with the two best records met in the conference semifinals instead of the conference finals.
