I thought the 3 division champs were guarenteed a top 4 seed along with the team with the top non champ record, but after that the top 4 seeds are determined by record. SA, OKC & LAL are the division champs & Dallas finished 2nd to SA. If LA wins tonight, Dallas & LA have the same record; which is better than OKC, but worse than SA. Therefore SA has #1 seed & OKC has #4 seed with the tie breaker determining #2 & #3 seeds between Dallas & LA. If LA loses, It's SA #1, Dallas #2, LA #3 & OKC #4.
I'm not sure I understood anything you said I wouldnt trust anything I recapped there(regarding the playoff seeding). It was from Rich Lord and I dont think he knows what he's talking about.
