Seedings shakeup for NBA playoffs
Print Edition
National Basketball Association divisional champions will no longer be guaranteed home-court advantage in their opening round of the postseason after a seedings shake-up announced by league chiefs on Tuesday.
Under a new system to be launched this season, teams in the playoffs will be seeded according to their regular season record.
Previously, the three division winners in each conference along with the non-division winner that boasted the best record were installed as the top four seeds in the first round of playoffs.
In a further change, teams with the same overall record will be ranked according to their head-to-head record rather than whether the team won its division, flipping the format from previous seasons.
Last season the Portland Trail Blazers, winners of the Northwest Division, were seeded four in the Western Conference despite having the sixth best record.
Under the new seeding system they would be ranked 6th. The Golden State Warriors are the depending champions
