Are we gonna make separate threads for every series? Or just one big playoff thread.I don't want separate threads. One playoff thread, one Finals thread.
I think it would be a bit fun to have separate threads.
I vote one playoff thread. The problem with seperate threads, is that there is usually only a few real popular series, so the other threads are like ghost towns.

Coin toss to determine who gets the earlier pick if both teams don't get top 3 picks. The ping pong balls are split between the teams though.
Bobcats need to beat Chicago AND for Washington to lose to Boston in order to avoid Miami in the 1st round.
I actually doubt that Washington wins - but DJ is going to murder us.

You think Brad Stevens is actively trying to lose his job? Tonight is where he proves he's a closer.

Toronto Raptors
Final Grade: A+
48-33, No. 3 in the East | Midseason record: 21-20, No. 4 in the East
I can’t understand why the Raptors’ success hasn’t produced more buzz. Just 12 months ago, NBA writers were brainstorming new and creative ways to mock the decisions of president Bryan Colangelo, as Toronto finished 34-48 and missed the playoffs for the fifth year in a row. And now? Toronto has claimed the Atlantic Division title, secured home-court advantage in the first round, placed swingman DeMar DeRozan (22.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, four assists) on the All-Star team and in the Most Improved Player discussion, and enjoyed an All-Star-caliber season from point guard Kyle Lowry (17.9 points, 7.4 assists, 4.7 rebounds). These accomplishments come with a mandatory “They occurred in the East” caveat, but nobody saw this coming.
Dwane Casey opened the season on the hot seat; he’s my pick for Coach of the Year. Rudy Gay and DeRozan looked like a match made in hell; new GM Masai Ujiri wisely addressed that issue quickly, trading Gay in December and setting the table for Toronto’s move up the standings. The Raptors will improve by at least 14 wins this season despite trading their two highest-paid players from last year, Gay and Andrea Bargnani. Credit Casey for overseeing a smooth transition to a blue-collar identity that plays to the strengths of the Lowry/DeRozan pairing and has led to a No. 10 ranking in defense, up from 22nd last season.
Because of their youth and fairly anonymous roster, the Raptors figure to be a popular upset pick in the first round. Even a brief playoff appearance, though, wouldn’t take the luster off their remarkable regular-season achievements. If I’m Ujiri, I’m lining up Game 1 courtside seats for Rob Ford, Drake, Justin Bieber and former Raptor Tracy McGrady, all in hopes of provoking some well-earned buzz around the Raptors.

Kelly Olynyks PER 36 numbers as a rook:
15 and 9 on 46% FG and .36% 3P

Bennett wasn't even the worst draft pick for the Cavs last year. It was Karasev.
The next five picks after him?
Snell, Dieng, Plumlee, Soloman Hill, T-Hard JR.
is it possible to sue a GM after you fire him?

damn.all the teams are playing tonight…
Yep, I like it. It's cool how many games matter, whether for playoff or lotto seeding.
IIRC, Zbo committed 4-5 turnovers last time we played the Mavs when he would face-up Dalembert. Ball just flew out of his hands every time.
I kinda want to be in the Pacers bracket, but Raps are starting everyone tonight. That 3rd seed would mean a lot for the franchise.
I'm really not going to fault him for looking utterly disinterested in this game.Kevin Love's porn stache is majestic.i wish his defense was a little more majestic right now
Washington doing their part.
Bulls neck and neck with the Bobcats.
Toronto beating the Nyicks.
Cleveland decided to stop losing to our fucking Maximum Tank.
All the early returns are good!

Brooklyn tanking for a lower seed. What a bunch of bitches.
What team has ever tanked for a seed and then won in the finals? I'll wait here.

We didn't start this. We wanted the first seed, we just lost to Atlanta.Brooklyn tanking for a lower seed. What a bunch of bitches.Are we forgetting that you started this? LMAO.
Why would we have poured out maximum effort and energy in the pacers game if we didn't want the first seed?
We didn't start this. We wanted the first seed, we just lost to Atlanta.And then you decided to sit Lebron because you were so uncomfortable in the Bobcats-Wizards-Raptors bracket.
We sat Lebron because OKC lost to the Pacers the day before. Spo said as much.And we're sitting our entire rotation because they need rest. Kidd said as much.
The whole world saw you tanking in that Wizards game. At least our guys are out there trying. They just cut it to 2. God the Cavs are garbage.
You aren't out of the woods anyway. Brooklyn is only down 3.
Don't underestimate how bad the Cavs are.
