As much as I love the NBA, the final 10-15 games of the season are always so brutal to watch.  Every year at this time I just want the playoffs to start.

Excited about the 3 game stretch with CLE/MIN/OKC.  Minnesota is playing for seeding.  OKC and CLE are playing for the overall #1 seed.  So we should get a decent game from them.  The Knicks could sit people if Indiana can't catch them, so that might be more garbage.  Then you have to hope we are within 1 game of Milwaukee for the final 2 games.  If we are 2 out, then there is no reason to play anyone.

i feel like this is a relatively new phenomenon, like in the last 20 years. back when players played every game i dont think tanking or sitting people at the end of the year was ever an issue.  

but im old and could be misremembering the 80s, etc.

Hawks won tonight.  Pistons magic number still dropped to 7 though. 

It is still possible mathematically.  But I would say the Knicks are safe from Detroit and The Pistons are safe from Atlanta.  Some crazy stuff would have to take place for either one to happen.

I‘m pretty sure the number dropped from 7 to 6 today. 46 wins would guarantee the 6th seed. Hawks can‘t do better than 46 and the Pistons have the tiebreaker over them.

Good stuff.  I only did the math and didn't think about the tiebreaker.

Pacers win again.  I don't know if I really want to play them.  They could catch the Knicks. 

Maybe they'll catch the Knicks for 3rd and we'll catch the Bucks for 5th. Those two games at the end of the season could be big ones for seeding.
