Cleveland with the easiest road ever to ECF. LeBron is the luckiest bastard there is. |

As usual, Lebron will only have to play two real series. ECF and Finals. And ECF should be a cake walk this time again |

When is the East going to stop being terrible? |

In the 80s, the East was the tough division, and the West was the weak one.
In the 90s, it was pretty even.
In the 00s, the West was strong and the East was weak.
Seems like the pendulum has been stuck like this a little too long and should have swung back. |

Lebron's making the finals. A-(bleep) ING- GAIN. I hate the Leastern Conference so much.
Cavs will steamroll the Celtics and Raptors in the first two rounds, and will knock out the winner of the Bulls/Hawks series after they wear each other down.
And then they'll probably play the Spurs in the finals.

Clippers/Houston. The highest flops/game in NBA playoff history. |

The injury bug bit the EC pretty hard this year. But for the injuries to Paul George, Brandon Jennings, and Jabari Parker, the East might have had all of its playoff teams over .500 this year. The Knicks and Sixers tanked, of course, and the Magic may have been the biggest underachievers in the league. Still, there are signs of life over there. |

Only hope is that Toronto loses tomorrow against Boston and Bulls win against the Hawks on Wednesday. That would put the Bulls in the 3rd seed and a 2nd round matchup with the Cavs. |

Magic gives him a run for his $$ with the West in the 80's. |

The Western playoffs look dull? Really? I honestly don't see one dull matchup. |

OKC being at full health would have been the most amazing 1-8 match-up I can think of. |

So hard to choose a team to root for in this match up. I think I would have to root for the Clippers, so Dwight can get knocked out in the first round again. |

I hope GSW makes it all the way. Can't see LeBron beating them if they're healthy...just too deep. Draymond Green is built like a young Paul Pierce, he'd be able to pummel Bron over a series. |

Yep, goin with the Clips there. I'm neutral on Harden but watching Howard lose never gets old. |

Is that series locked in yet? I'll just be happy to see one of them go home. Hoping GSW wins it all with a Dallas/GSW WCF |

I kind of feel bad for the Pelicans. Westbrook's technical should not have been rescinded. It wasn't completely over-the-top, but it was a technical. Now NO has to play a hungry Spurs team fighting LAC for the 2nd spot and OKC basically has a bye against Minnesota, who will make sure to lose the game, so they can keep the worst overall spot.
Also, just as a fan, I think GSW vs Pels would be more interesting. Davis can do it all on defense and offense, and I would love that matchup. |

Didn't even realize that Portland was locked into their spot, and barely played their guys against OKC today. Sometimes, the difference between making or missing the playoffs is being lucky enough where the teams you play have nothing to play for, and rest their guys, while other team plays teams that have everything to play for. |

Not yet. The only locks at the moment are 1 (GS), 4 (Portland) and 7 (Dallas). If Houston beats Utah tomorrow then we will be at 5 at the worst, and 2 at the highest (need NO to beat SA, but if they do then our pick from them drops from #14 to #18). We will be 6 at the worst with a loss.
I'm kinda hoping NO loses so we can get the higher pick. I don't see much of a difference between Portland and Dallas, and once you hit round 2 it's a slugfest no matter who you get. We need to beat Utah tomorrow though!! |

Doesn't really matter.
The Cavs don't stand a chance against the Spurs or Warriors. |
