If the playoffs started today

Boston-Chicago
Miami-Atlanta
Orlando-New Jersey
Cleveland-Detroit

I'd love to beat the Bulls and play either Miami who has no bigs or Atlanta who we'd be motivated against because of the previous year.

Yeah that would be a good situation. I think that's a pretty accurate playoff picture for the end of the season as well, though I could see New York sneaking in and Chicago dropping out.

Wow that would be something too. Everytime Boston meets New York in each sport it is on another level from everything else. Plus I'd love to rub it in their faces when we swept them.

Piston and Cavs would be something also. Let them kill each other before one of them meets up with us. The cherry on top would be we wouldn't have to deal with Orlando either. Its perfect.

True, true. But I'm not nearly worried about the Pistons this year (unless they can SERIOUSLY get it together) as I am about Cleveland or Orlando. Orlando always plays Boston tough, and Cleveland has LeBron *shudder* I would LOVE to not have to see that guy in the playoffs ever again....

Detroit needs to get it's defense together to even be considered a serious contender. I was so happy that they traded Chauncy--dude's a Celtic killer.

Detroit is done for the year. I know it's early, but they will make the playoffs and not make much noise while bowing out...

I know Indiana is not in the Top 8 right now, but I think they will make the playoffs. Does anyone else get the feeling they are what Washington was last year? That one mediocre team that seems to have our number. Like I didn't want to see Washington as the 8 seed last year, I certainly do not want to see Indiana as the 8 seed this year.

Yeah, I could see the Pacers sneaking in there, and I hope that it does not happen.
