So Sixers and Heat will play Wed night for the 7 seed.

Bulls and Hawks will play in the 9/10 game. Loser of that is out. Winner of that plays loser of Sixers/Heat for the 8 seed.

Impressed with Knicks. They could just throw this game and get the Pacers in the 1st round. Dodging no one.

Celtics finish with 14-game lead over 2nd place in East. Knicks only other East team with 50+ wins. That's the largest in-conference lead since 1976.

I'm taking Pacers over Bucks. Run them out of the gym.

The super fast Pacers might be a tough match up for the older and beat up Bucks. That series will come down to pace.

The Knicks get homecourt until Boston, but also get the Philly/Miami winner as a first round prize.

These East play in games are big.

Pacers score in bunches and the bucks can’t defend anyone. Nightmare matchup for them.

Could be bad if Giannis misses any time

Milwaukee is 0-4 against Indy this year.

Oh, it’s already bad. Excellent.

Unfortunately I think we’re past that point.

Dalano Banton's last game of the season:
- shot 0/15 from three
- turned the ball over 5 times
- ejected for a flagrant 2

Somehow he was his team's leading scorer

When I first read this post I said no way.. I had to check out the box score myself..

A player who is already known as a poor 3 point shot maker should no way in hell take 15 shots from 3.. That is absurd..

He literally may have just shot himself out of the NBA next year..

With a gimpy Giannis and doc rivers coaching, they very well could be a first round out. Hell, they could be a first round out even with Giannis healthy

Yea, I'd rather have them early than late IMO.
More chance we're healthier and bigger chance Giannis aint up to it yet.

My larger point was, I don’t really care who we face in the east in any round. We should beat any eastern conference team in 5 games tops

Make that six and I could agree.
