Here’s everything at stake on the NBA season’s final night The final playoff spots in the East. The Pacers and Bulls can clinch their playoff bids with wins. The Heat need to beat Washington and have one of those two teams lose. All three games tip off at 8 p.m. ET, with Hawks-Pacers on ESPN. The two teams that get in will fill the Nos. 7 and 8 seeds in the East in some order. The No. 1 seed in the East. The Celtics can clinch the No. 1 seed with a win over the Bucks (7 p.m. CT, League Pass). Milwaukee is reportedly resting several starters. If Boston loses and Cleveland beats the Raptors (7 p.m. CT, League Pass, everything is starting at 7!), the Cavaliers will be the No. 1 seed and Boston will be No. 2. Home court advantage in the West's No. 4-5 series. The Clippers and Jazz know they will meet each other in the first round as the Nos. 4 and 5 seeds. But home court is still to be determined. L.A. can clinch it with a win over the Kings (9:30 p.m. CT, League Pass). The Jazz need both a win over the Spurs (8 p.m. CT, League Pass) and a Clippers loss. NBA Draft lottery order. Several areas of the cellar standings are a mess and what happens Wednesday will determine what tiebreakers are needed and who will have a better likelihood of marginally better picks in June. The teams involved in the various lottery intrigues are the Magic and Sixers (for the fourth worst record), the Knicks, Wolves, Kings, Mavericks and Pelicans (for the Nos. 6-10 worst records), the Hornets and Pistons (for the 11th worst record) and the Nuggets and the team that misses out on the East playoffs for the 13th worst record. I suspect we're going to have only minor clarity by the end of Wednesday and that coin flips will be required. http://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/4/12/15269676/nba-playoffs-2017-stakes-draft-lottery-standings-gmib
Last time I can do this during the regular season. Go Celtics, Raptors, Rockets, Nuggets, Lakers, and Clippers.
Miami desperately needs ATL or Brookly to do them a solid and win otherwise, this is the end. Just refuse to watch the Bulls suck out their in the playoffs.
I was hoping for a Cle/Miami first round matchup because Miami has taken it to a lot of good teams this season but alas it doesn't seem plausable. Playoff D.Wade better show up because the bulls limped through this season and are just getting back healthy, they need Rondo and Tic to have solid games every single night but this Chicago -Boston rivalry is getting pretty good.
Playoff D. Wade is overhyped and Rondo is no longer playoff Rondo. If the Bulls make the playoffs, they will be embarassed in 4 or 5 games because they are not a good team.
You think so, Wade has been on the shelf for a month just resting and ****ing Gabby, he should be fresh. And the last time we saw playoff Rondo he was wearing green, that guy still exist. Plus Tic can go off at any time (now that he's playing again), I can see this series going 6-7 games
Because I just don't believe Rondo can even get back to that level. He didn't with Dallas, and teams will make him look bad. Also, I feel Wade doesn't make fit the Bulls in the sense of spacing and defense. Plus, I have full confidence the Cavs and Celtics aren't gonna play around. But, I could be wrong. I'm basically saying the Bulls will get exposed badly, like the Rockets did last year, and are being too cocky about it.
It wouldn't surprise me to see that happen, the Bulls played without chemistry, passion or purpose for most of the season but I'm hoping for as many games as possible. I'm selfishly hoping all but one () of the first round series go seven games because that means we get competitive basketball for another month
Please dont let the Bulls make the playoffs, please nobody wants to see them. I said the same about us last year lmfaooooo
All of this should be must-watch tv. Instead everyone is resting their players...what's the point of tuning in for this garbage?
Westbrook 5 points on 2/10 shooting and yet OKC comfortably beating a good Nuggets team. OKC is pretty good team when they're not in WB stat padding mode
The Greek Freak is the first player ever to finish in the top 20 in total PTS, REB, AST, BLK & STL in the same season.
