I like the 55% chance of getting the top seed from the Cs side, but I question the 3% at winning the championship from Cleveland's side...and we are at 7%.

Clevland's schedule is brutal the rest of the way. Wizards, spurs, celtics, raptors all left for them to play.We absolutely have a shot at the one seed.

So there is a chance they rest players for those games. Plus they play the Raptors the last game of the season, and Toronto might still be battling for playoff position

I like the 55% chance of getting the top seed from the Cs side, but I question the 3% at winning the championship from Cleveland's side...and we are at 7%.I suspect the 3% odds for the Cavs might be due to their projected playoff opponents of the Bucks, Washington, and Boston. Bostons path to the finals is a bit easier based on their CARM-ELO numbers for our possible opponents of MIA and the Raptors
I kinda like staying at no. 2 though. Id rather face the Wizards in the second round than the Raptors.

Id rather face the Wizards in the second round than the Raptors.That is the mentality of someone with a lack of confidence. Come on man, we are talking about the #1 seed! We'd rather have home court advantage for game 7 vs. the Cavs! Go C's!

There has been upsets before where the #8 seed stunned the #1 seed.
