The first round is not going to be a cakewalk, no matter who they play.

we shall see
the nets have three savvy vets.
remember jefferson has been out much of the season- that has had a big impact on their overall record.
I wouldn't want the Pistons to play the Nets in the first round- that's for sure. I'm not sure the Pistons would beat them either. If the Pistons played poorly- which they have shown they are definitely capable of- and the nets played well, the nets would prevail.

Re: Playoff Positioning
good news for the cavs: over the next week detroit and chicago have two games with each other, either we will get a closer to detroit, or some separation with chicago, either way it looks like at worst we will be the #2 seed

Re: Playoff Positioning
Nice, we clinched a playoff berth already.
Seems like just yesterday we were clawing just to get the 8 seed.

Re: Playoff Positioning
Best case - We stay at the 2 seed, the Heat take the division but fall to the 4th seed and the Bulls remain at the 5 seed. That would mean we avoid Pistons, Heat, and Bulls until ECF. Assuming we get there we would get Orlando in the first and either Toronto/Wizards in the 2nd round.
I would assume thats are best possible situation... agree?

Re: Playoff Positioning
Well after the Knicks loss, we're basically up 1 game on Chicago. If we lose to them, they take the #2 seed and have a relatively cupcake schedule the rest of the way.

Re: Playoff Positioning
Considering the implications if Chicago passes us, the way the Cavs have been playing lately has been completely unacceptable.

Re: Playoff Positioning
Bulls schedule isn't thaaat easy. The Bobcats and Hawks are the only teams on it that won't be in the playoffs or in the playoff hunt.

Re: Playoff Positioning
Next week is our toughest slate of games. But we finish the season with three lottery teams in a row.

It might not have to be. The Bulls are rolling right now.
They're only .5 games back of us right now, and they play a bunch of games at home coming up. They just beat the Pistons tonight.
