re: Did the Cavs get the 2-seed on purpose?

This is utterly stupid. MSB goes from "Cavs play in the easy east, it's a shame they won't have any tough opponents to face" to "OMGERRD their scared of the bulls and 3 other teams that gave them fits during meaningless games"

It can be both, bruh. Cavs being in the east is definitely an easier route to the finals. But there are also teams that they do struggle with in the east.

And it doesn't mean that they can't beat them in the playoffs. Not at all. But I'm sure they would rather avoid the tougher teams if they had the choice (which they sort of did this year).
