GT: Bobcats @ Cavs April 5th 7:30pm EST

[HornetJail]

At this point I want a loss and Indy in the first round.

Nah, look at the Raptors' schedule. If they wanted to, they could walk around and eat cake rather than attempt to play basketball (a literal cake walk) and win each of their last six games. They'll be the three seed for sure. I want them, because I KNOW that we'll beat them if we're matched up with them. Then we'd play the winner of Indiana/Washington.

But that is a gamble. If it works great but if we get Chicago we are screwed.

We need to play ourselves into a position where we can essentially tank a game or two if needed. As long as we don't get Chicago, we're good.

I would rather face Indy in the 2nd round. I'm fine with Toronto or Chicago if we get the 6th seed. I feel like we can beat any team that's not a world beater like the Heat in the east.

I believe your assessment is astute.

With Indy's form lately, the East is wide open (aside from Miami) imo.

We can beat Toronto and Washington in a series imo, Chicago and Indiana are tricky propositions with their recent playoff experiences but I'd rather face Chicago and then Indy due to the Pacers being the more talented team with more depth.

Hes made more jumpers than MKG this season. Take it iff!

Only kidding about the jumpers... I think.

Look at Gary Neal, I don't care for that dude. Looks for his own shot too much, weak defender, and is always a sourpuss in the otherwise fun team photos. Cheer up dude, you just went from MIL to a PLAYOFF TEAM!

Luke Ridnour almost look like a ballboy in that picture

Wait, Ridnour isn't a ballboy? He plays basketball for us? I thought he just gave the basketball to other players and got the **** out of the way.

Question: How many opposing players will score their career-high by challenging Al Jefferson's infamous pick-and-roll defense?

[mrknowitall215]

That's not a total knock on Al Jefferson either because I love his game & character. I just wish Clifford mixed a little bit more defense-for-offense substitutions in his rotations, especially during critical moments. Bismack Biyombo came in and altered the course of Cleveland's offense during his very limited minutes

Also, it's very nice to see Charlotte get this playoff-clinching victory on Cleveland of all teams. I placed a $100 wager with my best friend on who will make the playoffs first in their career between Kemba & Kyrie the moment they were drafted, so it's oh so sweet to collect off this game

NBA.com had it written in stone for Charlotte to lose tonight. No wonder it seemed like the officiating was rigged to the mean

[Tupik]

PLAYOFFS BABY!!!

So happy, let's just not get swept this time out!

So I wasn't the only one? The phantom whistles late in the game were getting ridiculous. I was literally after every call.

NOOOOOOOO ED MALLOY! BRUTAL

Steve Martin deliver some nice tidbits

[snomeister]

Congrats guys!

The Bobcats and the Raptors are both in the playoffs, is the world ending or something? lol. From a Raps fan perspective I hope you wear out Indiana but don't beat them, because you guys are Raptors killers so I don't want to face you. But irregardless of matchup consequences I hope you guys do well. You deserve it.

Edit: Not saying you guys can't move up spots either. Just talking about current seeding.
