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.

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.

Interesting.
