Time to get that 8th ranked logo banner up in toronto.

The inspiration came from those 8th place banners the clips put up every year.

NBA makes changes to playoff seeding, tiebreaker procedures

The NBA will now seed playoff teams solely by their record, throwing out the top-four protection for teams who win their divisions.

The expected change was unanimously approved Tuesday by the league's Board of Governors. Teams in each conference will be seeded from one to eight by their won-loss record.

Previously, division winners were guaranteed no worse than the No. 4 seed, a rule that became heavily criticized last season when Portland ended up No. 4 in the powerful Western Conference despite the sixth-best record in the conference.

The league also changed the tiebreaker procedures, making head-to-head results the first tiebreaker for seeding and home-court advantage, and whether a team won its division second. A division winner previously got the home-court advantage if it met a team with the same record in the playoffs.

should also get rid of divisions... moving in the right direction

Anyways has any division winner ever wrongfully classify for the playoffs?? I know this is just changing up seeding wise

But has there ever been a division winner with the 9th best record that just made it to the playoffs due to being division winner?

The Mohawks add to the drunken bar fight persona of the UFC
 
The real problem is the imbalanced conferences. Not sure this new change makes much of a difference tbh.
 
You could just do away with the conferences and take the top 16 teams in the playoffs. They could do that tomorrow if they wanted to.
 
Don't think so. They'd have to figure out how the regular season schedule would work out before they do that.
 
Looks like were well on our way to qualifying for the Rio olympics
 
Lmao @ people that think it would just be easy to get rid of conferences. It would be so ridiculously hard to make a schedule that way.
 
oh, sorry, just realized I said "people", should have said DangDaRetard.
 
I realize for people like Black Gayness, making a workable NBA schedule would represent his life's greatest intellectual achievement. But for most people with above a high school level critical thinking ability, it's really not that complicated. You could use an online randomizer to make a schedule in 30 seconds.

The real reason the conferences will never be abolished is that the owners are unwilling to discuss cutting down the season schedule or raising travel costs.
 
Black Gayness? So not only are you racist, but you have something against Gays? Honestly, I don't usually get rustled by dumbass nicknames, but you crossed the line. Deserves a ban imo, someone call RR.
