    For playoff seeding and home court advantage, what is the next tie breaker rule after head-to-head?

    Lebowski's not exactly right. The answer to your question is:

    First tiebreak after head-to-head is Division Record, if the teams are in the same division.
    Next is Conference Record. See here if you want all the detail.

    The current tiebreak status for the Spurs is: (where "won" means the Spurs own the tiebreak vs. that team)

    Hornets - lost

    Lakers - depends on Sunday's game. Winner of that game also wins the tiebreak. Thus that game counts double, in effect.

    Jazz - lost
    Rockets - won
    Suns - lost
    Mavs - won

    You probably also know that the top 4 seeds are reserved for the three division winners, plus the second-place-in-their-division team with the best record. The Jazz have already clinched the Northwest Division and thus will have no worse than a #4 seed. But HCA is based strictly on record, thus they will probably end up playing the #5 seed but without HCA.

    Very important point to note there. Thank you for pointing that out.
