It's still stupid. B/c the Nuggets would still have gotten the 4 seed under the system, when going by records and head-to-head tiebreakers, they should have been the 8th seed. They should allow division champions to raise a banner and sell hats and shirts, but it shouldn't be an automatic bid for the playoffs. And they should just seed it 1-8. If they do this, this is what the seedings would have been:1. San Antiono2. Dallas3. Phoenix4. Memphis5. Clippers6. Lakers7. Sacramento8. Denver
