Top 3 teams from each Division make the playoffs, then the top 2 remaining teams in each Conference would qualify. So, you could have 5 of 7 teams in one of the Western Divisions make the playoffs. You could also have only 3 of 8 teams in one of the Eastern Divisions make the playoffs.

So then you don't get the divisional playoffs? That was honestly the only thing I liked about this re-alignment. This whole thing looks remarkably stupid now.
