cheer for bulls so Raptors get that 1st seed. but bulls look overrated I think Cavs will win by default and make Lue look good.

LeBron's anticipatory skills are incredible. That pass there to Shump on the weak-side as the defense was in mid rotation to load up on him illustrates that best.

Cavs are ticking me off. The Raptors need to take the East.

So did LeBron forget how to shoot? He's even cold from the free throw line.

Still people wouldn't give us respect because only 4 out of those 16 are over 500. it just gives a good chance at that number 1 seed

I think I'm doing the same. It's too late for us to win the East now unless Cavs get hit with the injury bug or if they decide near the end of the season to rest their starters and not play for 1st seed, then we have a chance. Otherwise I think we can take 2nd seed.

EDIT: Whoops meant the Cavs
