Pacers lost so they're not on our bracket. Knicks hold on to 3rd seed.

All six of those won/loss combos happening is like a 14 win team. Could come close but tough for them to pull off.

So we're looking at Knicks or Pistons, after taking care of Round 1.

With this play-in format, I still find it unfair that as a 1st or 2nd seed, you don't get to know your 1st round opponent right away like seeds 3-6 do. How come you can only prep as early as the 7th or 8th seed?

Did the Pacers tank to avoid the Celtics?

I don't really think the Hawks or Magic are matchups I'm that excited to see, in either scenario
Obviously, obviously i think and expect that we'd beat either team,
But neither seems like a particularly breezy matchup.

We won 60 games, can't we get a Kemba-level Charlotte or Fournier/Vucevic-level Orlando as a first round opponent, lol

Can this be a playoff prediction thread?

EAST:

CLE in 5 over ORL
BOS in 5 over ATL
NYK in 7 over DET
IND in 6 over MIL

CLE in 7 over IND
BOS in 5 over NYK

BOS in 6 over CLE

I think that speaks for most all of us.

Plus as strange as it is to say the Pacers posters are way more annoying than the Knicks'.


Indiana people are the worst... agreed.
