The Western Conference of the National Basketball Association is made up of fifteen teams and organized in three divisions of five teams each.Since 2006 the three division winners and the non-division winner with the best record are seeded 1 through 4 for the playoffs in order of their record with all remaining non-division winners seeded 5 through 8. This leaves open the possibility that a #2 or #3 seed could be a non-division winner.
