Beginning with the 2004-2005 season, with the addition of the 30th NBA franchise, the Charlotte Bobcats , the NBA realigned its divisions. Each conference now has three divisions of five teams each, and the winner of each division is guarenteed a top-three playoff seed, regardless of whether the team had one of the top eight records in its conference. However, the division champion is not guaranteed home-court advantage; a division-leading team with a poor record could be ranked number three but face a sixth seed with a better record, which would then have the home-court advantage. See NBA Playoffs for more information regarding the playoffs. ''Note: home court advantage is noted in bold.''
