Very interesting, but they can fall all the way down to the play in IF they lose out. And the teams behind them keeps winning.
If that happens. Could be Heat/Bucks facing off in one the play in match ups. Winner plays the 2nd seed. Loser faces the Bulls/Hawks play in winner.

The Magic can get the 2 seed in the East, esp if they beat the Bucks in both of those games. Orlando is 3rd seed and only 1 game behind the Bucks.
Honestly, the Knicks, Pacers and Cavs are still alive for that 2 seed as well! lol.

Crazy.


It's crazy that just 1 win separates Milwaukee, Orlando, New York, and Cleveland...while the Cavs are just two losses away from Miami & Philly.

Since Orlando would need to beat Milwaukee twice for them to loss out, Miami & Philly can't get to #2, but they could still go from the play-in to hosting a 1st round series.

Hasn't Indy averaged like 157 ppg against the Bucks this season? I don't think this is a great alternative to "tanking" to avoid Sixers/Heat.
