So will the result of today's games tell us who we'll play if we stay at 1?

No, that gets determined tomorrow in our game and the Cleveland-Toronto matchup.

I think they are asking, IF we are #1, does tonight determine who we are playing as a 1 seed,

no, tomorrows chicago/nets and miami/washington games decide that

Yep, thanks for the clarification.

The 3, 4, 5, and 6 seeds are all now set (TOR, WAS, ATL, and MIL).

The rest will be determined tomorrow:

A Cavs loss OR a C's win gets the C's the first seed no matter what;

A Cavs win AND a C's loss would give the Cavs the first seed;

Wins by the Bulls and Pacers OR a loss by the Heat would keep Miami out of the playoffs;

A Miami/Chicago win and Indy loss would push the Bulls to 7th and Miami to 8th;

A Miami/Indy win and Chicago loss would push Miami to 8th and Chicago out of the playoffs.


Most likely we'll stay in the 1 spot and face the 8 seeded Bulls, and Indiana will stay in the 7 seed and face the 2 seeded Cavs. Miami probably misses the playoffs on a tiebreaker, which combined with us getting the first seed is probably good for Brad's shot at Coach of the Year.

People shouldn't sleep on the Pacers as a first round opponent. If the Cavs draw them, it will not be a totally easy matchup. Since they signed Lance Stephenson again, they have been quite good. A rematch of Stephenson-George vs Lebron's team would be quite entertaining.

I still think Chicago would've been a better matchup for them and could've taken them 7 games.

Ian Mahinmi out for Game 1 of the 2017 playoffs with a strained calf.

Wow, brutal blow for the Wizards...now Hawks will take advantage of that with their front court prowess and steal Game 1 at Washington.

Is Lance playoff eligible? I thought he was on another roster post March 1. Maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

This is pretty remarkable, that all 3 teams have a shot at making it, or not.

I would like the Celts to draw the Bulls b/c I just don't think they are very good, or a very cohesive unit.  Indy (George) and Miami (Whiteside and Dragic) could be defensive matchup problems.

Chicago and Miami win, and Indy is on their way.  So who do we end up playing?
