Great thread.
NY is only 3.5 games back of ATL for the 5 seed. If we can win our next two games against Memphis & Dallas; we'll take the 5 seed before you know it. ATL's schedule is about to get extremely tough... starting with the Lakers.
If MIA continues to struggle closing out games... They'll drop to the 4, while ORL steals the 3.
We all need to pull for CHI (unless they're playing ATL) & root against BOS like no tomorrow.
Boston is an aging team, so I'd much rather face them during the 3rd round... when compared to either the 1st or 2nd rds. I'm not quite sure Pierce, KG & Allen can keep up with NY during a 3rd round.
This is my 1st round prediction (seeding wise).
(1) Celtics vs (8th seed).
(2) Bulls vs 76ers (7)
(3) Magic vs Hawks (6)
(4) Heat vs Knicks (5).
I believe CHI is currently 3 back of BOS. If BOS ends up as the 1 seed? We'll play BOS during the 2nd round (with a win over MIA). Unless ATL can pull off an upset over ORL. Then we get CHI / ATL gets BOS during the 2nd round.
Thoughts?
You posted this in 3 different threads already. The same exact post.
My response is still the same: We match up the best against the Hawks, 76ers, and Celtics. Not sure why you'd want to play the Heat in the first round, and also not sure why you think the Heat will fall behind the Bulls and Magic.
