The Magic have a legit shot at the #2 seed. 2 back of the Yucks with 2 games left against them. We might see a 49 win #2 seed :lol:

Maybe the Bucks don't want the #2 seed because they know it's going to be the Sixers.

Genius! :lol:

Bucks definitely seem to be trying to avoid the #2 seed. Reminiscent of two years ago when they let us have home court to avoid the Nets. Didn’t work out well for them then as we took advantage of game 7 at home. The basketball gods don’t take kindly to ducking opponents… do better Cream City Cowards!

Cs can return the favor by letting the Bucks win next week.

Cs can sit the whole starting unit and they will still have a competitive team.

If I had to guess I think the PO matchups end up:

1-Boston
2-Magic
3-Yucks
4-Knicks
5-Cavs
6-Heat
7-Philly (Philly beats Indiana in 7/8 play-in)
8-Bulls (Bulls beat Indiana for final spot)

Charlotte fan here.

Rumors are your assistant HC Charles Lee is at the top of our list.

Just wondering if you guys think he's ready to become a HC?

Sam Cassell is more ready.

That's a good outcome if you're the Cs.

There's a real chance that Miami gets the sixth seed so I'm not sure Milwaukee wants to get the third seed either. I think the best explanation is that they have zero depth so whenever Middleton, Giannis or Lillard are out they can lose to anybody even the worst teams in the league.

So I had to look that up and didn't even realize he was playing for Detroit.. That has to be a record for a player scoring 50 coming off the bench..
