solid... 2 games behind Mil and we play them. They and Boston are the teams that scare me. The only thing I like vs. Milw is Thibs vs. Doc but make no mistake Bos/Mil are the most talented in the east. IMO those are the contenders and anyone else is a dark horse at best

We are really 3 games behind them since they own the tie breaker. 2 seed is kind of a pipe dream.

Hit the pipe, then dream!!
Part of me wants miami and send them home. Another part wants is scared cuz they sandbag players to get them healthy then mess up folks bad!

This team is so different than when we played Bucks I'd like to see both at full health then play.
But is this with Jules or without?

Tomorrow being Good Friday and all, I think you are on to something!

46-32, 4 games left. Bull, Boston, Nets, Bulls.

Cleveland got Memphis Pacers Hornets left

Wish my brain could figure out those ORL scenarios. Seems highly unlikely we can pass BOTH ORL and MIL with them playing each other twice. Not possible for them both to add 2 wins/losses in those 2 games. A split probably keeps us behind MIL since they own tie breaker even if we go 2-0 in those games. ORL 2-0 shoots them up to #2 seed and they own the tie breaker on us. MIL 2-0 solidifies their spot at #2.

Obviously the most important thing is to win the remaining 4 games. That locks New York into no worse than the 4 seed. Even losing one game could mean opening the post season on the road. Here's to hoping New York's rebounding woes vs. Chicago were just the result of the emotional double drain of losing Hart and learning about JR's surgery.

The big question for me is how seriously Boston approaches their remaining games now that they have locked up homecourt throughout the playoffs. Their starters have played big minutes this season so you'd think it would make sense to rest them. There's good and bad there as their next two are vs. Milwaukee and then the Knicks. A Milwaukee loss to Boston followed by a New York win opens a lot of possibilities.

Interestingly, if boston has a preference who they play in the second round, they could throw a game to help that preference come to fruition

Right! I'm guessing they would prefer Orlando because of their lack of playoff experience and no superstar getting superstar calls. Orlando doesn't really have a clutch guy. With OG back, maybe there's enough of a worry that he can shut down Tatum or Brown for a game and really balance out the competition. In that scenario it also makes sense for Boston to rest their starters.
