How Did Chicago Clinch The 4th Seed?

How do you figure? We have the best trio in the league (Hughes, Arenas, Jamison). No trio in the league is statisically better. Look at the stats. And if I remember correctly, we punished Seattle the last time we played them. The 3rd seed in the West? If Washington plays Bulls in the playoffs, the Wizards will win. I can put some pay pal money on that shit.

Yes, they beat Seattle in Seattle by 1 pt last game, and killed us in Washington. Seattle has a problem with teams going small on them. Washington will probably play Indiana, I think. However, Bulls-Wizards is a great matchup. Imo, I do not know who would come out the winner. One thing though, even if they would beat Chicago, they still wouldn't do shit in the playoffs, you dig?
Now, Big Easy asks himself, "What is this foreigner talking about?"

They are 0-4 versus Detroit and Miami.

No question. I've talked with my friends about this for a few months because a playoff berth looked promising for once. I have always said that Washington will make it to the first round and a slim possibility of making it past that. If they even made it to the Conference Finals there's no way they'd win. Miami is just too good. It's possible that it will be Miami and Detriot. I've always called it to be Miami vs Suns or Spurs in the finals. But now that Duncan is injured I'm not sure. I'd rather see the Suns because it would be a more exciting match up.

Oh and Indiana will be playing Chicago if things stay the way they are now. Washington would end up playing Boston, which is probably better for us because I think that even if Washington were to get that 5th spot back, we'd never get back to 4th and Chicago would have the homecourt advantage. I don't think that we get the home court if we play Boston, but we are a better team than them without question.

I'm still watching to see what Cleveland is going to do. The entire Eastern Conference is pretty interesting right now. The West Coast is basically all set.

^Well, then, there's not much we disagree on here. I would love for my Sonics to go to the Finals and I'm rooting for them, but I try to be realistic. They are not playing with the same intensity as before the All-Star Break and four of our key guys are unlikely to be totally healthy for the playoffs. The Spurs are just too good, even without Duncan. With Duncan healthy, it's a no brainer. Spurs are going to the finals. The thing is, the Suns are very likely to be upset in the first round. They don't play defense and do not even try. They just want to outscore you. In the playoffs, as history easily points out, the shots that go in during the season, do not go in during the playoffs. The Suns are most likely to be matched up with either Memphis, Denver, or Houston. All three of those teams are able to beat them in the first round, Denver especially. Memphis, they're a question mark.

Cleveland is not doing shit. Cleveland is like the Orlando Magic a couple of years back in the series versus Detroit. McGrady was doing all the work and winning games for them, until Detroit decided to just clamp up on McGrady and let his teammates beat them. Result: Detroit won the series after losing 3-2 in the first five games.
