NBA to seed playoff teams regardless of division winners starting next season

This means that no longer will regular-season division winners be guaranteed a top-four seed in ths postseason. Divisions are arbitrary, so it was weird how much impact they had on playoff matchups.

So division title means nothing. There you go.

Might as well also abolish divisions entirely.

The turnover in the NBA is such that they care little for division rivalries.

I just saw it on RealGM, but Sly got it 11 hours ago, during the draft telecast. This would be the biggest news of a normal day, but got buried by draft threads. This thread's already on Page 2 so I'll rescue it.

Good. It was BS that we were the 4th seed.
