i was certain we would be the 3 seed...but it looks like we will be the five seed.....atlantic winner is no lower than the 3 seed right?
No lower than a fourth seed.
They changed the rule after Dallas + San Antonio met in the second round of playoffs. First vs fourth. The two best teams in the conference. I think it was the year Dallas made the Finals but I'm not sure. So, to avoid that happening again they changed the rule to allow division winners to finish fourth instead of third.
