Heading into the stretch run one has to ask whether anyone truly wants the 8th seed in the East. Last night the Pacers went into a showdown with the Bobcats with hopes of gaining ground on the Nets and Hawks, but they had to do it without Danny Granger. Shawne Williams stepped up huge with 14 fourth quarter points helping propel the Pacers to a 102-95 win.

While no one seems to truly want the 8th seed there is a hot battle going on for the fifth seed. With a Wizards loss and a Sixers loss in the same night Washington would find themselves down in the seven spot. In what was a tough game where the Magic's Hedo Turkoglu went for 39 points, the Wizards prevailed 87-86.

One game below .500 the Sixers had to face Allen Iverson and the Denver Nuggets. Entering the game the Sixers knew they had a shot to pass the Wizards for the sixth seed in the East. In what was an exciting back and forth game the Sixers pulled it out with a 115-113 win. Unfortunately for the Sixers they still rest a half game back as the Wizards held on to win.

The Raptors were happy that Chris Bosh returned from his injury. How happy were they? So happy that they played the Miami Heat in his return. The result was never in question as the Raptors raced to a 96-54 win over the Heat. The win allowed the struggling Raptors to hold onto the 5th seed.

The Hawks finally had their place in the playoffs as they held the 8th seed by a game. Things looked bright early as the Hawks rushed out to a 10 point lead at half where they scored 70 points. The Hawks were facing the chance of taking a two game lead on the Nets but instead they were victimized by Vince and Co. as the Nets pulled out a 125-117 win.

There are whispers going around the Eastern conference that the only team that's capable of beating the Boston Celtics in a seven game series is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Having seen Lebron don the mantel of superhero once already we all stand as witnesses acknowledging why it's possible. The Detroit Pistons notorious for having a chip on their shoulder, which they carry as if they're disrespected, had a chance to prove where they stand against Cleveland. The result wasn't pretty. The Cavs pulled out a 89-73 win.
