Miami/Bobcats in ECF. 
Just sit Wade out so he doesn't injure himself before the Finals. |

Those are horrific numbers. I think I saw Ray Allen box him out...Ray 'Literally Dennis Rodman' Allen. |
I think Roy is done...stick a fork in him. The Pacers at this point, have zero chance of making it past the 1st round. |
Every team goes through slumps, I fully expect Indiana to make it to the ECF and face either Miami or Brooklyn.
Hopefully Miami though cause Brooklyn would get swept by whoever makes it out West and i wanna see another entertaining Finals. |
Could be, but a contender going into a slump with a handful of games left in the season usually doesn't turn out well.

^^^^
Especially when there is no apparent reason for the slump, such as an injury or simply the fact that the games are not important. |

I disagree, I think it's going to be Bobcats and Miami in the ECF. |
I respectfully disagree. I like Charlotte, I think Kemba has a good upside and Al Jefferson is an all NBA caliber center. They are a good defensive team and no longer a league wide joke.
That being said the games are usually won by the best team with the best player. That's Indiana even with their slump. Your man Paul George will take them in 5 or 6. |
Paul George's slump will continue throughout the playoffs, and Hibbert will continue to be non-existent. Their locker room issues are too much to overcome at this point. They will be booted first round. Charlotte will be the dark horse and fly through the ECF to lose to the Miami Heat. It will be Miami Heat and Spurs in the finals. |

| So why does Indiana have the #1 seed when they have the same record as the Heat? |

They have the better conference record so they own the tie breaker. So if Pacers win out they get the #1 seed. Problem is they play OKC next. |

I don't care who makes it out of the East. Either Indiana or Miami is fine, but for God's sake the Clippers can't make it out of the West. It would be blasphemy  . |

| So now Indiana beats OKC (despite an 0 for 9 game from Hibbert and another lousy shooting game from George) and is poised to claim the top seed after all. The EC race is like a train wreck. |

| They just beat the 2nd best team in the West. That's a good way to cap off the season. Still Miami / Bobcats in the ECF |

1st seed technically hasn't been decided...or has it? |

Damn, pretty disappointed that Miami got off easy, getting that 2 seed. Don't have to play Brooklyn now. Pricks could end up playing Charlotte, and then Washington. Easiest playoff draw in the league. If Pacers were still dominant, then I wouldn't mind, but they're not.
Get that damn 3-seed Chicago.

Well yeah but come on, your posts have been the dumbest I've seen in LG. Don't know if your trolling or just watching a different sport than all of us are. |

| The playoffs in the East are going to be a lot more interesting than I thought they would be a few months ago. Even the first round matchups will be interesting (to me at least). I never thought I'd say this but at least half the teams in the conference have a realistic shot at the Finals. |

It might be better if they play Chicago anyway. Brooklyn swept the season series but the games were so close that they easily could have gone the other way. Wade also probably missed a couple of games.
I wouldn't want to see a Nets-Bulls series that takes 7 games while Miami rests up and waits. Of course Miami would have to be #1 for that to happen. |

I thinkthe Bulls have more chance to beat Miami due to their D. However, Nets have shown they can hang with Miami, even though they could have lost 3 or 4 games due to their bone-headed plays. They have lead the Heat by double figures in all 4 games played. They have also let the Heat back into the games, which is why i am concerned. You can argue though that good teams still find a way to win. They have given up leads but still won. Can they do it in 7 games?

| Well Miami basically gave up on the #1 seed. Sat LeBron, down 22 to Washington at the half. |

The heat are definitely scared of the Nets it seems.
I just hope the Bulls will get the 3rd seed to knock them off in the second round (most fans wishful thinking) or at least make it a competitive series for them. |

Giving up would actually mean they had a stranglehold on it and lost it. They weren't gonna get it even if they beat the wizards. Pacers took it with a big win against okc. Heat board --------->

Don't encourage him. Seriously. He'll turn this board into performance art until the mods get fed up with him. It won't end well. |
