We will either be the 1 or two seed in the east.

We are 4-0 and +39

The bucks are 3-0 and +39.

They play the heat Tuesday (2-1 and 2nd in the wildcard standings). They win and we are the two seed. Lose and we are the one.

Simply put, this Tuesday we are heat fans.

If we are the 1 we most likely play the heat or Knicks. If we are the 2 we will play Orlando. No matter what, the game is at home.

    Technically if the Nets win by 14 we can play the Nets in game 1 if the Bucks win.

      I thought the wild card had to be the four seed. No?

    Brooklyn isn’t eliminated yet either. They have the tiebreaker over Orlando if Boston were to lose. Not sure what happens in a 3 way tie between Boston Orlando and Brooklyn but I don’t wanna find out bc somehow it’s gonna favor Boston it just will.

    Idc about Miami or Milwaukee as much as I care about Boston not sneaking in or possibly Orlando not getting in. Go Bulls. Go Nets.

      Point differential than total points scored (in group play). No way to know those tiebreakers until after the final tournament games.

        Still rather not risk a 3 way tie and Boston getting the wild card. So I’m rooting for the Bulls. They are the only team in the East I want no part of. And that was before they dismantled us. Porzingas owns us be it when was Kick, Mac, Wizard or a month ago.

          I did the math.

          Orl is +22 right now. In the three way tie, nets would have to win by +16 and Celtics by +23 and +8 more than the nets.

              I honestly think it would be harder for the celtics to make it this way than the wildcard. So worry about the nets losing and we have to go through both orlando and the celtics. Lol sorry
