I just saw the bracket for the East and it changed a lot since the yesterday. The Nets/Bulls avoided a bullet by not having to play each other in the first round and I think the bracket came out as favorable as possible for the Bulls. Here are the matchups:
Ind v Atl
Chi v Was
Tor v Bkn
Mia v Cha
I think Chicago gets by the Wizards and then we will find out just exactly what is going on with the Pacers. Meanwhile, Miami might get a round 2 war against the Nets. Miami having to potentially go through the Nets is going to make the 3 peat well deserved if they get it. Going through Bkn, Ind/Chi, West will be an incredible run if the Heat can do it. Here's to hoping they fail.
The West playoffs are going to be something special this year. If favorites all make it through the first round, I think the 2nd round could be the best Conference final four ...ever?
