Milwaukee, Miami or Washington?

Miami has a bunch of easy games left but they finish the last 2 games against OKC and TOR.

Milwaukee, meanwhile, have a bit of an "average" schedule (some tough teams, some easy ones).

Will be an interesting final few weeks in terms of seeding. Even Washington is ONLY 1.5 games ahead of MIA, though they should be getting Wall back soon too.

This feels to me like this will all benefit Cleveland as they will end up playing Miami in round 1 (easy) forcing us to play Washington in round 1 (not easy)

I'm surprised so many want to play Milwaukee.  Giannis is a monster.  I want nothing to do with him.

True. But we do match up well with our long defenders (especially Al, and even Semi!) and Milwaukee's lack of shooters. When we pack the paint and scheme for him he'll still score because he is, as you say, a monster. But it won't be easy and his teammates won't fill the gaps. The Bucks also just always seem to be less than the sum of their parts. Look at their record - pretty meh.

Washington with Wall and Porter is a very good team. If we had Kyrie, Marcus at full strength I would like the Cs to win in 6, but without them I don't know. On paper the Wiz would be better, but somehow this Cs team always overachieves. If we did pull out that series it would be epic, and devastating for a Wiz team that already has some confidence issues.

Give me Miami. Any chance to crush D-Wades spirit is a welcome chance to me.

Also hoping LeBron won't be sweeping his way again to the Finals. The other eastern conference competitors should and must give him fits.

Washington is starting to enter the mix now. 

They are only a half a game above Miami and Milwaukee right now.

[GreenShooter]

I want a first round bye.

It's a close call, but I'd  rather have the Bucks.

Giannis is great, but the rest of their roster is meh, and Parker is still struggling to return to form.

Miami had a chance to clinch tonight at home but lost to Brooklyn.  Not an easy thing to do.  Zero concern with them in the playoffs.

Miami.  Would rather avoid star players and of the three, they don’t have one.

Definitely don't want Washington, especially now that Wall is back.

Hmm

[MattyIce]

just not Wash

Really a tossup between Miami and Milwaukee. I chose Miami because if we learn to defend Tyler freakin Johnson then we will win
