Portland-Memphis
What is the point of "assigning" Portland the 4 seed, other than that they won their division, when they have a worse record than both Memphis and San Antonio AND they don't get home court advantage? Just a "feel good" thing?

Well technically, it does affect things because they have the 6th best record. It really just comes from them changing the rule just a little bit. Used to be that the division winners got the Top 3 seeds, but Dallas got really screwed a few years ago when they had the second best record in the West behind the Spurs. So they decided they'd leave room for a great team in the Top 3. But then they added the rule about home court, which I like. I wish they would scrap the division winner thing, since scheduling really isn't affected much by it. It ends up rewarding undeserving teams anyway. It's not like you play a noticeable amount of more division games. It just means you play the team 4 times for sure instead of the occasional 3.
The Southwest has probably slightly tougher schedules, but the winner of the Southwest will always have a really solid record.

Well, as a Grizzlies fan, this year I like it. If they simply seeded the team based on record, Memphis would be a 4 and San Antonio would be a 5 and they would be playing in the first round. What Grizzlies fan in their right mind wants that?

That would be better for my Rockets. No Spurs or Warriors on our side of the bracket.

That's why I was hoping that Memphis would get the 6 seed. Oh well. The people that play and coach the game wanted the 5 seed, and I reckon they know more than I do.

In all honesty, they know home court against Portland is possibly the easiest first round matchup they could have drawn. For a team that realistically isn't expecting a championship (not the Spurs or Warriors), getting out of the first round in the West is a solid year.

The fact that the Clippers and Spurs have to play in the first round is extremely unfortunate for both.
Two of the three best teams in the west. Thanks a lot Portland

That might actually happen once in a seven game series. I'll give Brooklyn game 3 and say the Hawks win the other four games each by double digits.

Total combined wins in the first round match-ups:
West:
GSW/NO - 112 (wow)
HOU/DAL - 106
LAC/SAS - 111 (ridiculous 3/6 match-up)
MEM/POR - 106
East:
ATL/BKN - 98
CLE/BOS - 93
CHI/MIL - 91
TOR/WAS - 95
Pretty stark contrast.
I wonder what the record number of wins in first round match-up is? Bulls v. Heat in 1996 was 114 (72+42) Wonder if that is it?

Is there a service that provides NBA playoff games (i.e., NBA league pass, etc.)?
