Do you not know how playoff seeding works? Milwaukee gets the 2nd seed if NY loses because Milwaukee owns the tiebreaker.

And plays Philly with Embiid (most likely) instead of Indiana

Reverse jinxed him.

AK, get a big man who can play defense, and an actual PF. It's been 3 years.

Thibs playing DiVincenzo 52 minutes in Game 82 is wild.

I know but do you expect me to care about the seeding position this season considering the state of the Bulls? I just checked Bucks is not yet reaching 50 win this season?

Great contest on DeMar’s shot. I’d have still bet my left arm that was going down.

If the Knicks win they get the second seed, if they lose, they are 3rd. You asked why they are trying to win, that is the answer.

Everybody already know that's going to be the Bulls final play. It's the same Demar iso since the beginning of time.

Thanks. Good that the Bulls lose this. They may have a chance to win the next one now.

If Sanogo grabbed 35 rebounds against Washington he might have still gotten a DNP in today's game.....

Again he could have got a big man who can play defense and is a great shot blocker in the draft, instead he chose Terry.
Another F move

Not sure if I've ever seen a team battle so hard for 39 wins.
Even the VDN teams led by Salmons won 41 and were kind of screwing around.

I appreciate the effort on many nights, but wow the talent level just isn't there.

I agree-LOTS of entertaining games this year. They do battle, almost every night. Let's hope Ayo/Drummond are back for the Playin-just beat the Hawks at least

Impressive effort for a meaningless game. We are competing against some good teams while missing Ayo and Drummond (and also Zach, Pat, and Lonzo of course).

I agree, big mistake by the Knicks to win this game. Theoretical Home court over a Bucks team with a healed Giannis in the second round home court is not worth an easier first round matchup and a decent chance the 76ers or Heat beat the Bucks with Giannis not 100%.
