Wait, Boston is only two games back? Wow.

Also, I'll give it to Brooklyn and...Miami I think. Maybe Detroit.

Remind me not to defend the East's strength as a conference for a while. Yikes.

No way the Celtics get in without Sullinger. They can replace his scoring (although the lack of interior scoring makes them easier to defend) but not his rebounding.

I also feel fairly confident that Detroit will make it. I'm not sure about the second team, though.

Dang I forgot about PG-13's return. Well that may change a lot of things in the East. Miami may struggle down the line against better teams if they are unable to score inside. If so then I'd say, Detroit and Indiana.

Pacers & Pistons. Not sure I want the Pacers to make the Playoffs, but I think they will it they stay healthy from here on out.

Somehow I get an impression.... a bus full of orphans is hit by a train... whch ones survive? It's depressing to think of the 7-8 seeds in the east.
