Not to dispute your point, but Orlando would have the HCA.
HCA goes to better record, not the higher seed.
Just looked at the standings, and if the playoffs were held today, PHI at 17-20 (3) would HOST Orlando at 19-16(6) because of the automatic division seedings. ing Chicago, the 8 seed, has a better record at 17-18.I take it back,. The East doesn't suck, just the Atlantic division. Not one team is over .500.
Oh yeah, Go Spurs[/content]

it is to bad spurs could have stolen chandler from the bulls
No truer words.
yeah because we need third string centers.it is to bad spurs could have stolen chandler from the bulls
Grizzlies > Rockets>Spurs
chandler is better then spurs centers off the bench without question
he is also better spurs starting center
Not in the first round. Division winners are 1-3 in order of records. Check the standings on nba dot com. In '02, I believe that under the old format, we won our division and got the 2 seed, but had to surrender home court in the second round to LA, the second place team in the old Pacific Divison, because they had a better record. Same thing applies, except now there are three division winners instead of two.Not to dispute your point, but Orlando would have the HCA.
You got your arrowheads going the wrong way, don'cha ?
only in his pe e mind.
The East...but where is the le at? Exactly...case closed.
The East still has scoreboard for 5 more months.
sequ spur should stick all arrow head up his ass, if there's any room left
Who cares. You were too much of a pooh-sy to take my bet that Detroit would win over your beloved Pacemakers.The East...but where is the le at? Exactly...case closed.
The Bulls are showing promise, with help from Manu's boy Nocioni, Chandler and Gordon. Curry is waking up and producing numbers here late as well.
which means exactly what right now?The East...but where is the le at? Exactly...case closed.
Doesn't mean a damn thing once this season started. Being last year's champ is exactly that...last year. Detroit has to go out and earn it again.

Incorrect. I got caught on this last year myself. The reason it's not obvious is that under the old format, the #2 seed always played the #7 seed...and the #2 seed ALWAYS had a better record than the #7 seed.
Division winners then best records determine seeding...seeding determines opponents...but records only determine HCA.
So ShoogarBear is correct...Orlando would host.
duh, Travis
We have only seen this for years and years, it has not changed.
Yes, it has. I may be wrong, but I recall last year (or was the previous to the last?) the seeding position determined the HCA only in the first round, and the team record determined the HCA at later stages.
I believe this year the team record determines the HCA in all rounds.
Could someone confirm this?
Rick, last year, as in years past, the division winners were 1 and 2 seeds. They played the 8 seed and the 7 seed in 1st round, thus they had better records and HCA.
If the 7 seed had a better record than the 2 seed(could happen if one division totally sucks, like the Atlantic this year) then they would have HCA over the higher seed.

Last year, both #2 teams (LA, NJ) had better records than the #7 teams (HOU, NYK).
In '03, both #2 teams (NJ, SAC) had better records than the #7 teams (MIL, UTA).
So far, no joy on confirming your recollection.
Jim is correct.The top eight teams in each conference qualify for the playoffs. The division winner with the best record in each conference is seeded No. 1, the other division winners are seeded No. 2 and No. 3 and the remaining six teams are seeded Nos. 4 - 8 according to their won-lost records. (Home-court advantage in all playoff series is determined by better won-lost record, not higher seeding.)
What am I, chopped liver?
No, you just did not answer Rick's question....you just said that 2 had HCA over 7.What am I, chopped liver?
