Let me add, too, that Philly plays four games in five nights between April 14 and April 17. In order, those games are Miami, Indiana, NJ, and Milwaukee. While it looks like a gimme on paper, that Milwaukee game is a potential disaster for Philly, 'cause they should be completely worn out. They also play Boston on April 12, so it is a five-in-seven stretch. They could potentially lose all five of those games.

I think we have to root for Philly tonight against Cleveland. I can smell the seven seed!

I think I'm pulling for the Sixers too. But maybe I'll just not pay attention until the game is over, and then I'll know what team the Nets are gunning for afterwards.

Thanks for the analysis, Dumpy.
