Celtics lost tonight to the Wiz combined with the Heat win against the Hawks = Number 2 seed for Heat.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

Only one I really see as a possible upset is NYK over Boston but I don't even really see that happening, but when you have Melo and Amare on the same team, anything's possible.

Yeah I saw that

I didnt realize the Celtics had lost lol

If the Knicks lose 2 games and Philly wins. Couldn't Philly move past the Knicks into the 6th seed?

edit: I guess NY has the tiebreak over Philly. lol

Bulls over Pacers (4-0) (Wouldn't be surprised if Indy took a game though)
Magic over Hawks (4-0) (A repeat of last year is likely)
Celtics over Knicks (4-2)
Heat over 76ers (4-2)

I'm praying the Knicks upset, but you are probably accurate.
