202828, The LAST spot in the EAST! (orl/det/phi)
Posted by LeroyBumpkin, Tue Aug-25-09 09:25 AM
One team is going to go home. Based on my analysis, it's probably going to be LOQuent (no offense). Below you'll see the current eastern conference playoff picture, the remaining games for the #3 and #4 seed along with the result of their previous matchup.

#1 CLEVELAND (22-5)
#2 BOSTON (17-9)

#3 ORLANDO (14-11)
blazers (L)
bulls (L)
hawks (W)
knicks (W)
hornets (W)

Two wins and he's in.
Possibly Atlanta and New Orleans.
Could get one on the injured Blazers or the Bulls who have lost 3 in a row.

#4 DETROIT (13-15)
celtics (L)
suns (L)

Can the Pistons win both of these games? Sure.
Is it likely? No.
Pistons lost to both teams by over 10 points.
That loss to the Jazz is hurting.
Win that one and the pressure is all on the Sixers.

SIXERS (12-14)
suns (L)
nuggets (L)
wizards (W)
lakers (L)

Only needs one win. Could come against Wizards.
(although teams w/ nothing to lose have been ballin' lately)
Sixers own the tie breaker with the Pistons.
