Isn't that what they did recently........Dallas/SA had the 2 best records a couple of seasons ago and they met in the 2nd round. I think the change you're asking for has already happened, but I'm not 100%....can anyone clarify?

Two years ago, the three division winners were guaranteed the top 3 seeds, so the best second place division team can only be the 4th seed at best. Now, they are only guaranteed a top 4 seed. So the best 2nd place division team can now be the 2nd seed.

They need to go strictly off of records for seedings, not division winners. It's not like baseball were teams are playing division heavy schedules, so it makes sense to reward division winners. In basketball, conference teams are playing the exact same schedules except for a few teams that you play 3 times instead of 4.

I'm a greedy SOB. I want to be in 1st by the All Star break just to see PJ on the bench and the consternation of the rest of the West.

We're not, PHX is still 1, Dallas 2, Blazers 3, and the Lakers would be 4th.
