    Honest question.

    How is it that Atlanta has home-court and is the number 5 seed even though they have a better record than Boston?

    The division winner can finish no worse than 4th.

    So, hypothetically, a division winner can have the worst record of all playoff teams and they still get the #4 seed?

     If their entire division sucks like that, yes.  But they will not have home court in the playoffs.

    Oh okay, thanks man!  I’ve been wondering this since that Houston/Utah series in ’07.

    Yeah I’m going to be pissed if my Celtics lose to the Hawks because they didn’t push for homecourt…

    I wouldn’t mind if they got rid of the rule. Though a tough battle I think the Celtics still advance.
