Those are the remaining schedules of the teams fighting for homecourt advantage. Interesting that all 3 East teams have to play the other 2 two more times apiece. Orlando seems to have just a little bit easier schedule remaining, but they need to make up quite a bit of ground at the moment. This could very well come down to the April 12th game when Boston comes to the Q. I only threw LA's schedule up for comparison for HCA in the Finals.
Some will probably ask why in the world I even bothered putting the rest of the East in this thread. Even though we have bigger goals than making the playoffs, it wasn't long ago we were watching every single game hoping to just make the postseason. It's going to be an exciting finish to see which of those teams actually get in and who the Cavs will face in the first round. Washington is really the only team that has no shot to make it and I'd put Toronto as very close to eliminated.
