This. Pau Gasol will win finals MVP. Averaging 20 and 15.

Can't win the tiebreaker against Toronto because division winners get the higher seed regardless of H2H matchup.

I predicted 48-50 wins a few weeks back, so I'll guess 49 wins. All I really care about is getting the 4th seed (instead of the 5th...2nd is unfortunately not very realistic), so hopefully WAS loses more games than we do, which I think will happen.

Initially I wasn't over excited about signing a guy who sat out the end of last year with "vertigo". Then he played a few games with the team and I got really excited- said that if we win a championship this year, he would be finals MVP.

I still believe that. But my confidence in us winning a championship have greatly decreased as the season has gone on.

10-4, but damn close to 9-5... that Miami game is a toss up. Wade loves beating us.

Ahh good point. Ill just say we'll finish a game ahead of them then.

Are you sure? A division winner is only guaranteed a top 4 spot, not top 3. If they tied, shouldn't it first be head to head, then division record? It's hard to see that division record would leapfrog winning the season series

Division leader always wins tiebreaker over team not leading a division.
