Some weeks ago, my dream would have been "1st any team, 2nd BOS, then ECF".
Some days ago, I would have said Heat-Cavs, because we know the Heat, and even with Wade, it would not be a transcended MIL team.
Now that MIA is playing hard defense, and start to win again, I am not sure.
For CLE, I just thought ATL had better chances against CLE than ORL. With last game, and even if it was not all positive with this 4th quarter nightmare, maybe ORL is the best choice, some monster games of Howard giving more chances than up to 7 games of LeBron + star treatment.

So my choice is 1st Bucks - 2nd ORL

Now, I am sure that MIL prefer ATL than BOS, and if we keep this 3rd place, MIL will loose and let MIA take the 5th seed.
And I don't see MIL lower than 5th because a team like CHA can prefer CLE (CHA won 3-1 in regular season) or even ORL (only 1 win, but I saw part of this game, and CHA did not show they could be destroyed like ATL can be by ORL).
CHA is certainly the only team not afraid (or the less afraid) to play CLE or ORL at this moment.
