@alanhahn: Interesting: If last season followed a 1-16 seeding, only one small change: Nets (38-44) out, Thunder (45-37) in. So 9 West, 7 East.

Yup. Division championship will be used as 2nd tiebreaker though, after head to head record.

matchups would have been a lot different though.@alanhahn: Interesting: If last season followed a 1-16 seeding, only one small change: Nets (38-44) out, Thunder (45-37) in. So 9 West, 7 East.
No cakewalk to the Finals for the East champion

-not sent a team to the playoff
-Have 4 teams with home court

Too many west coast games would have to tip off while the fans are still at work

For anyone in the weaker conference. Which is the East for now but obviously could be the West at some point.
Top 16 is the way to go

why even have divisions if its top 8 from each conference? no reason at all whatsoever.

So when Balmer moves the Clippers to Seattle they'll actually have something to hang besides selfies, if they're still any good then.

Because you always play division opponents 4 times per year. While playing some teams in your conference only 3 times.

x2. it never will unfortunately.
Every sport has some type of stupid conference/division system for determining Playoff teams, and they should all be done away with. But they won't.
Look at the NFL. Every single year you got teams in good divisions missing the Playoffs with good records while some bum team in a bum division makes the Playoffs with an 8-8 record
