    I don't want the Lakers to get Rondo either, he's not worth big money at this point. Clarkson was great in the 2nd half and deserves a shot to start for now. Hopefully they keep their draft pick (17% chance they don't though) and then add a top free agent. They will have a lot of new players next year since they have about 9 free agents this year.

    C's beat the bag out of the Pelicans this year and i would take them in a 7 game series as well. Finished off the season 20-9 after trading their two best players, hard to say they dont deserve to be there. Brad Stevens should be a candidate for coach of the year.

    ppl complain about this s--- in every sport though, Panthers got into the NFL playoffs with a garbage record.

    To be fair, you do that and it just removes the Pacers/Celtics and adds in their place the Thunder and the Suns.

    I'd rather they just keep this format tbh but I'm hoping the east will eventually be as balanced as the west but that hasn't been the case in a very long time unfortunately.

    I expect the Heat and Pacers to be a lot more respectable next year and the Celtics will only get better.

    Pacers and Heat both had injuries, Heat a lot more than the Pacers. As long as they can stay healthy, they'll both do much better.

    Spurs really f----- themselves. Could've tanked for 5th seed and have HCA over a hobbled Portland team. It's crazy to think we were one game away from that 2nd seed after losing like 10 stupid close games this season. Should have at least 60 wins but oh well.
    Who else the Celtics coming out of the East?

    Well they did their part last night by losing but they needed Memphis to lose too. I was hoping for Spurs/Blazers just so I could go see a spurs playoff game live, but unfortunately it didn't happen. I don't have much interest in Grizzlies/Blazers, both teams are banged up but Memphis has owned Portland so I still think they'll have a pretty easy time winning that.

    Miami had 31 different starting lineups this year. That's good for most in franchise history. We also played awful basketball, but the amount of injuries this team had were ridiculous.

    Celtics 100% deserve to be in IMO. Had a h--- of a finish to the season. I think I read on SportsNation that they finished with the 4th best record in the NBA after February 2nd. They earned it.

    I'm upset that Miami won last night. We needed to lose to protect our top 10 pick. (otherwise we lose it)

    Anyways, who ya'll got in the Finals? I think the Cavs come out of the East, but the West is a tossup between GS/SA. That'll be a great WCF if it happens.

    Cavs/Spurs finals I think, Spurs would then win in 5 or 6.

    As far as Heat/Sixers go, it was a must lose for both teams. The newspaper here called the Sixers the 'Michael Jordan of tanking' and it's true lol, they lose all their must lose games.

    Lol. I had to watch Michael Beasley almost get a triple double. It was a painful game to watch. It's weird wanting your favorite team to lose so much, but it was unacceptable to wish for a win last night.

    I know how it feels man, the Lakers had 2 huge must lose games late in the year and they won them both. It was like the final insult to an already very awful season. Both games were against the Sixers unfortunately and they get it done when an L is needed most, clutch tanking by Philly.
