Bulls up 2.5 games
Remaining games:
Bulls - Heat, Mavs, Pacers, Cavs
Heat - Bulls, Wizards twice, Rockets, Celtics
If Bulls win tonight, then its over...but I'm nervous.

I'm expecting the Heat to win tonight. Should get interesting.

Maybe, but it's doubtful. MIA does appear to be trying though.
If the Bulls lose tonight, then those games against the Mavs and Pacers become very important for them.
If they finish with same record, Miami has tie breaker because they'll have a better record against East teams. (This assumes MIA wins out; the records would be 19-8 and 18-8... Yea it's that close)
EDIT: It's a bit more complicated than I just said. If MIA wins out, it's very possible MIA and CHI finish with same record against conference. So then tie breaker is wins against East playoff teams, which MIA would win 19-8 to 18-8.

I think they'll beat the Mavs, but the Pacers game could be a loss.

Not sure why you're nervous. The difference between the 1 and 2 seed shouldn't matter.

What he said...Knicks and 76ers are 2 different types of animals right now.
And the fact that it would mean the difference between home court advantage or not....if these 2 meet.

Yea, but 2nd round is difference between IND and BOS. And then home court in 3rd round.
Heat vs Knicks would be 4-0, 4-1. Chicago would beat them 4-1 MAYBE 4-2. The latter rounds are much more important.
Getting 1 seed is more about getting home court against the other and home court against West than it is setting up easy early rounds.

Meh, I think if a team can't handle the Knicks they will not fare well in the next round anyway.

Heat win tonight, they will get the 1 seed BOOK IT!

Is this 2009?
Melo's current play isn't sustainable. The Heat toyed with them all game on Sunday, and still won. Sooner or later the isolation sets will stop working because Melo's shots will stop falling. It's inevitable. Neither Chicago nor Miami is concerned with the Knicks.

Even if Heat don't catch Bulls, which situation would you rather be in?
#1 seed with a broken Derrick Rose or
#2 seed with a healthy Heat team?

Either one of those will be tough...that's why I wasn't looking at that round.
