#2 and #3 seed most likely locked up by NY and Milwaukee.

Hopefully Sixers stay out of the #5 seed.

Celtics still the only 50-win team in the East. Bucks and Knicks have a chance to join them in their final outings.

Sixers or Magic have tiebreaker?

Wow Spurs just came back from 23 down to beat the Nuggets. Nuggets had a final possession but got a 5 second violation trying to inbound. #1 in West up for grabs again.

Bucks could fall to 4th if Knicks and Cavs both win their final game IINM.

They are champs, that's how you don't play down to your competition. Cs could take notes from them!

Sixers, Magic & Pacers all w 35 losses at the 5-6-7.
Who has tiebreakers?

Bucks, Knicks & Cavs w 32, 32 & 33 losses at the 2-3-4.
Who has tiebreakers?

Affects R1 AND R2 for us.

Zoya - do the work, please.

Cs can do anything they want once they're already champions. Less expectations, promise. I just need one title in my lifetime.

I think it goes...

5. Magic (by virtue of being division leader)
6. Pacers (H2H win over Sixers)
7. Sixers

But don't quote me on that.

Gets more complicated if all three lose and Heat win in final day. Four-way tie.

Is Heat locked in the 8 seed?

Sixers have the tie breaker.

So Magic or Pacers need to lose & Sixers need to win for the Sixers to get 6?

Bucks, Knicks & Cavs w 32, 32 & 33 losses at the 2-3-4.

This is too complicated.

I agree somewhat, but it's been posted how Nuggs ended last season already.

Way too many moving seeds/tiebreakers/playin scenarios/whatever else. I have officially lost track on who to root for.

Yep, and they went on to win the championship. If Cs do the same, less expectations, promise.

Guess we won't know for sure what happens with 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 until final day of season.

We need NY, Milwaukee, and Philly to be in #2, #3, #6, and #7.

That's the easiest path as only one team will come out of that trio.

True that.

Will just wait for the graphic NBA PR will come out with before final day lol.
