Glad to see I was wrong, as homecourt could help a lot against the Clippers.
LOL the gots at NBA.com still have the old rules posted

Based on the rules, Portland would have HCA over the 5th seed if their records were identical, regardless of the season series or division records or anything like that. It would go straight to the division winner when records are tied.
I have to say I first stumbled upon that age a couple of weeks ago when I was researching the Spurs seeding scenarios. However the "Posted Aug 25 2010" part made me think that this might not be valid any longer
BTW I was wondering where you got your copy/paste from a few posts ago when you listed the rules!
I don't want to beat a dead horse because we go through this every season, but what changes are not reflected in the rules in your link.
looks like it xhanged
His link doesn't have division winner as basis for two teams tied.
Just when we thought we had finally figured out all the scenarios and for the playoffs.. baseline bum comes in here and tries throwing everyone off
It does. It's number 1 under "Tiebreaker basis"
An apology would be better
It's not listed in the a. Two Teams Tied section referenced for determining homecourt in section d of the link I posted. It is referenced in the same section of the new link.
Your link is "news", i.e. something that is subject to change (and indeed your link is just the announcement of how things would be for the 2010 playoffs). My link is static and current.
If you read the two paragraphs directly above "Two Teams Tied", you'll see why it doesn't. The division winner tiebreaker only applies in the first section at the top for seeding the first through fourth seeds. The second section is used to determine division winners and then to break ties in seeds 5-8.
The change was made after the teams with the two best records, Spurs and Mavs, met in the WCSF in 2006. Now the teams with best two records are always seeded 1 and 2.

If we lose against the prlicans then what
Why don't any of you ers know what tie means?
you got. Tie goes to the runner, everyone knows that.
I want that 5 seed, tbh..unfortunately, Pacers-Grizzlies is at 9:30 PM, though, so it would be impossible for the Spurs to strategically tank..
My , I'd rather have the 5th seed too but will take the 2nd seed.
Of course I'm cool with the 2nd seed
Best alternative is if the Suns miraculously win tonight, I'd love to see the Clippers in the 5 spot..hopefully the ty Morris Twins or Blesdoe get hot tonight..
Should be good practice for the playoffs. Need to be able to win on the road in the playoffs.
