I think CLE finishes 3rd, and see Wash climbing to 6, as I think they will handle Orlando, Miami will lose to Toronto (motivated to get 60 wins) and Philly will beat Bucks on their homecourt.

Wall starting to play himself into better shape and Kelly Oebre shooting way out of his slump. Could be a decent series although Cleveland will likely prevail.

46-18 Sixers after 1st quarter!  Wow.  Would we want them in the 2nd round?  What's going on?

Assuming Philly has that game locked up...

We need one of WAS or MIA to win, or both to lose, otherwise we will play Washington.

Yeah, according to Grande (and how you've described above), we just need to hope that both Miami and Washington both don't win. So far, so good on that front.

If they both lose, we get Miami; if only one of them loses, we get Milwaukee.
