If Boston's going to lose, they'll have to work for it.

Milwaukee is playing its backups' backups at Cleveland, so the Bucks will lose. Would Boston similarly tank to avoid the 2 seed? If they do, that would open things up for Philly to jump to the 3 seed, thus avoiding Toronto.

Some very interesting scenarios staring us in the face in the East heading into the final day: 2 Milwaukee 51-30 3 Boston 50-31 4 Philly 50-31 Toronto is locked into the 5 seed and Chicago to the 6. You know Philly wants to jump to the 3 seed (Thybulle would be ineligible for games in Toronto, plus the Bulls are a much worse team). After beating the Detroit Pistons Friday night, the Bucks are in control of their destiny. A win Sunday over the Cleveland Cavaliers -- more on them below -- or a loss by the Celtics in Memphis against the Grizzlies, would guarantee Milwaukee gets the second seed. A loss to Cleveland, however, would open the door for the Celtics to get No. 2 with a victory over Memphis. That combination would see Boston earn the second seed based off the fifth tiebreaker: having a better record than Milwaukee against fellow East playoff teams. Philadelphia, meanwhile, needs to win Sunday against Detroit and needs Boston to lose to finish third. The 76ers can't finish higher than third, as they lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with Milwaukee (which won the season series) and now can only tie the Bucks in wins. Philadelphia also loses the tiebreaker to Boston (which has a better division record).

Wow Boston.

Is that Anthony Edwards or Russell Westbrook?

Kyrie got all the pub, but didn't see this.

I've always thought that Lebron and Serena should have hooked up and produced the ubermensch.

And if they win out (as they should) and if the Hawks win out (as they should), I think Nets-Hawks would be 7-8. Clevelands season has just gone totally off the rails and last nights loss at Orlando is the chefs kiss. But at least we’ll keep the first round pick that was foolishly sent to Indy for Levert.

Mother of God.

Greg Norman at the 96 Masters.

Probably a stoopid question, but exactly how did this guy get injured?
