The new rule is more reasonable but not perfect. The Jazz could end up having worse record than both the Rockets and the Lakers and yet will still be #4 seed being a division winner. Then either the Lakers or the Rockets will be a #6 seed to play the #3 seed.
That's exactly why its still stupid for the NBA to rank "division winners" in a league where everybody in each conference plays the SAME schedule. Unless they move to an unbalanced schedule, it doesn't make sense to reward division winners with higher seeds... if your scenario happens this year, they will HAVE to start ranking teams 1-8 based on conference. Screw the divisions.
i think its wrong. With the new seeding its record only. Thats way the 2 best records last would see each other until the conf finals. Right now the rox are 4th behind sa. Its the winning percentage that counts 1st.
