NBA regular season concludes tonight - Discussion thread

Dallas @ Memphis - Winner gets the 7th seed, which could be important depending on the results of these games.
LA Clippers @ Portland
Detroit @ Oklahoma City
A Clipper win (likely considering the Blazers have nothing to play for) and a Thunder loss means LAC gets the 2 seed. Memphis and Dallas would much prefer to play the Clippers, obviously, (and part of me kinda thinks the Thunder would rather play the Warriors than the Grizzlies, but they'd never concede home court to the Clippers intentionally.)
All other seeds in the West are locked up.
As far as the East goes, Chicago and Toronto have the same record right now. Chicago plays @ Charlotte and Toronto plays in New York against the Knicks; Knicks are obviously done but have remained competitive.
I believe Charlotte has the tiebreaker over the Wizards and can still catch them for the 6 seed, which is huge because they dodge Miami in the first round. They'll still be playing hard, as they need a win and a Wizard loss to Boston.
The West remains infinitely more compelling, because we can pretty much assume that it's an 8-team tournament to play the Heat. Match-ups are everything in the playoffs and getting a bad one can end your season early. Should be fun to see how everything shakes out.

No way indy gets through BKLYN and CHI....MIA has an easy road to the Ship and can rest D-Wade until the East Finals

Why would they be playing both of them?

people are conceding Indy a lil too quick, IMO. when teams have something to actually play for that matters, they'll gel real quickly or not, but I still see them in the ECF.
And I don't see Miami just sweeping their way to the championship as much as most of the MSB Heat bandwagon fans believe. I want to see them actually fight for it and earn it against a scrappy young team from the East.
I'm just really really excited for NBA playoff basketball.

Glad the Stones shitshow season will be done with, but even happier Joe D. won't be the GM anymore

Maybe, but man, they looked awful in some of those losses.

They might be have some close ones, but I don't think they'll have to difficult of a time

What about the Nets?
They play the cavs tonight. If they lose, they might get the sixth seed. Then they play TOR instead of CHI. Then play Miami.
Am I correct? Haven't checked the tiebreaker..

Yep, good catch. I didn't even notice that.
So Brooklyn needs to win, too.

I think it all comes down to Game 1. If they don't show up game 1 against the Hawks, Hawks will probably win that series without a whole lot of trouble. If they come out smoking, they'll likely get us in 5 or 6 and go from there.
Pacers have had these lulls many times before, including Hibbert's antics. One game has and probably will swing things back in their favor. I'd be more worried about George's shot though if I was a Pacer fan.

They have been fighting and scrapping in the ECF the last two years.

If I remember correctly, didn't Miami go to game 7 in the ECF against Indiana last year?

They usually have a tough conference finals and an average 2nd round opponent.
Their first round has always basically been a bye, though.

you must have missed the part where I said I don't think they'll just sweep their way to the finals.....dumbass.
