Re: Official Playoff Seeding Thread
Its been bothering me that we havent had a thread about this, when we had tankapoolaza threads in the past. This is way more fun.
The playoffs start in exactly 1 month and we can finish anywhere between 2 to being a play-in team.

Definetly the Cavs, the goal should be to avoid play-in.

Re: Official Playoff Seeding Thread
CAVS - HEAT looka to have many injuries to starters. Based on boxscores Bam Don Mobley Herro arent playing...
MIA Looka to be running away with this.
Shoulsnt we want Cavs to drop so we have a chance to overtake them?

I prefer a Heat win to get the Knicks closer to the Cavs. I hope we can avoid the Knicks in the 1st rd. I'll gladly take a Heat loss though.

Pacers up 22 against the Pistons unfortunately.
I think ultimately we want Miami to lose as they have the tiebreaker on the Magic and winning the division could also be beneficial from a tiebreaker perspective too.
I could go either way but catching the Cavs and playing them with HCA is probably our most realistic shot at making some noise in the playoffs. But yeah, I absolutely get wanting Miami to lose to get some more breathing room between us since they own the tiebreaker.

I really hate that I cant watch Heat games on league pass because of blackout restrictions. Seems like a really good game.

I was rooting for the Cavs but Im okay with a loss too.
No help from the Pistons today, not like we were expecting it. But Bucks without Giannis are losing pretty handily to Celtics
