Run for the Shameful Eastern Conference 8 Seed

eastern

With about 18-20 games left in the NBA season It’s officially now time to start discussing the playoffs!!! The main thing I’m worried about is in all likelihood the eight seed in the east that my Bucks are desperately limping to try to lock down. With all the injuries and new regime changes the bucks have done surprisingly well!! Let’s start the discussion with the East playoff picture, here’s what the eastern conference standings look like today:

1. Cleveland 48-12
2. Boston 48-14
3. Orlando 46-16
4. Atlanta 34-27
5. Miami 32-28
6. Detroit 30-29
7. Philadelphia 29-30
8. Milwaukee 29-35
9. Chicago 28-34
10. New Jersey 27-34
11. Charlotte 26-35
12. Indiana 27-37
13. New York 25-35

SO after looking at the standings who’s your pick to be the eight seed or maybe you think Detroit or Philly will fall and that two of the teams on the outside will get in?? Who will lock up home court advantage all the way through?? And who will get the more coveted 4 seed instead of 5??

I personally think Detroit and Philadelphia hold on and that Milwaukee gets the 8. Cleveland is strong and adding Joe Smith is going to dampen the loss of Big Ben, they will hold the one seed starting with their win over Boston tonight. And I know this will fire Kittels up a bit but I’m holding the Heat at five and then having to play on the road more come playoff time (and we all know that’s certain doom for eastern conference teams).

      I got dibs on the Bobcats. They have won 4 straight and are playing good basketball. I think the bucks will lose tonight to the bulls and never reclaim that 8 spot. But i dont follow the nba

      Philly will fall out along with the Bucks. Its going to be the Nets with the 7 and the Bobcats as crazy as that is with the 8. Get ready for the Heat to upset the Celtics in the second round, no one on the Celtics can contain a one mister Dwayne Wade

      I think the TRUTH will show King James how to get it done tonight and take over that #1 seed

      the bucks fall out and the bulls go in, i see a guy like derek rose even making them a team you wouldn’t wanna play in the first round and i just cant put my chips in with milwaukee… speaking of shit teams, i love that the raptors are so bad that u didnt even include them in the standings lol… watching them this year has been the most painful sports experience of my life.. i saw chris bosh last night, he lives in my building, he was talking to his buddy and i just wanted to snap his bony body in half, the guy is so far from a franchise player, its unreal.. we had another “franchise” player that started to fear driving, vince something… anyways, as far as the top of the table goes, cleveland will definitely battle boston and it will be epic, and the last team i’d wanna play in the first round is miami due to one man alone… oh and when shaq referred to chris bosh as the “rupaul of big men” i nearly fell out of my chair… trade bosh to NYC already and lets get a good draft pick this year

      nobody has vinsanity as their boy! i lived thru his wonder years here and saw what he slowly became, overrated and soft, kinda like boshy bosh… the raps were ranked like 7 on espn power rankings at the beginning of the season, started 4-0 and were the next big thing in the east, they are by FAR the disappointment of the season.. but i again ask why would vince ever be ur boy? lol

      Dear Toronto’s Finest,

      Unfortunately for you the NBA for some reason decided to place two basketball teams in Canada, one flopped faster than the big Shaqtus the other evening against Dwight Howard, however your Toronto Raptors have some how managed to stay a float for many years. What you call getting soft is actually star player recognizing that they are playing in Canada and the realization that they will never be as big as they could be playing in the states where the NBA is relevant. Those guys play there hearts of for O’ Canada never get any help around them, carry there teams to one or two playoffs appearances and then fall off the table in a desperate attempt to get traded .
