So in a way the pressure is entirely on Chicago to win out

Really? Wow, that is a bizarre scenario.

Toronto have two games against Detroit so it is a big ask to win out. You guys should hope that you beat the Nets and the Nets beat the Bulls.

I think it would be great for the Nets if that happened, but I am not counting on them to beat Chicago (unless the Bulls rest their starters in the final game of the season).

Well if they rest their starters, the 2 seed isn't up for grabs anymore anyways. Oh well, I still have faith that you guys can beat them. I have to, cuz I don't want to have to face a playoffs of Miami, Detroit, and then Chicago.
