In the NBA & NHL, almost a third of all the teams get in the playoffs. The regular season does not means as much. And with many small divisions a bad team can win a bad division as cmaug pointed out. I prefer two leagues with one division each. Every regular season win is meaningful then and if makes you watch the scoreboard every single game.

It's more than a third. This is one reason why I'll never take the NBA, NHL, or the MLS seriously. And there's no point in divisions if over half the teams in each conference make the playoffs. I totally despise how these leagues work. If the NFL expands the playoffs like they want to I'm going to lose my mind.
