2024 NBA Season and Playoffs

Oh wow, Knicks are currently down 5 now. That would mean CLE is the 2 seed if scores hold

That'd be another ideal option, as a threeway tiebreaker goes Cavs, Bucks, and then Knicks, which would likely mean matchups of Cavs/Sixers, Bucks/Pacers, and Knicks/Magic. I could deal with that, and I could see the Pacers knocking off the Bucks in the first round with no Giannis.

Yep. I wonder if the Knicks saw the Bucks losing and thought "hell no, time to tank this" 

No one wants to play Sixers first round. I'm pretty much resorted to the fact we're drawing Miami.

The play-in is such a crapshoot that it's hard to predict. Chicago could easily play spoiler and sneak up to 8th, as well as a red-hot Atlanta team could, too.

Pacers, sixers and Heat are all going to win today.

Cavs in a fight with Charlotte. Knicks down 6 to the bulls to end the third.

Heat are going to be in the play in game vs the sixers it looks like.

I hope so.

Lol and now the Hornets go on a 12-2 run to take a 4-point lead on CLE.

If all of CLE-NYK-MIL lose I don't think anything changes

This is actually hilarious. It's like they are all trying so hard to avoid the 2 seed

Looking like a sixers v heat play in game.

Pacers the 6
Magic the 5

[jpotter33]

Oh wow, now Cleveland down 7 to the Hornets late in the fourth. Not watching that game, but that seems like some low-level tanking after seeing the Bucks score haha

EDIT: Yeah, looks like they rested their main guys that played in the fourth. Clearly tanking after seeing the scores lol

lol this is a ridiculous concept

People in previous pages thought it was idiotic that the Bucks could intentionally tank this game. Well, either the Bucks are worse than we thought or this is some excellent tank job. Even without Giannis they look bad out there especially Dame + Lopez who are two of their best guys. Dame is shooting 2-14 as we speak. "Dame Time"

Nobody wants the 2 seed and philly. Looks like the bucks are going to back into it.

Celtics heat looking more and more likely

Boston vs Miami or the bulls
Bucks vs sixers
Knicks v pacers
Magic v cavs

[libermaniac]

I think they were trying to avoid Sixers in first round.

Not ideal but right now I'd 100% take the Heat over Sixers in a potential series.

Worst case now is if PHI loses their first play-in game at home

I mean, did you see what the Cavs did? They didn't play most of their main guys anyways, but even the ones they did they didn't play them in the fourth and gave up a decent sized lead to the Hornets who also aren't playing any of their main guys. They clearly tanked that game after box score watching lol

[Phantom255x]

Cavs lose. Knicks down 9. Bucks down 16.

Looking like Bucks-Sixers, C's-Heat first round barring upsets, which honestly probably will happen, so pray Miami gets upset by CHI/ATL.

[celticinorlando]

I’d take bucks, pacers, Philly and Knicks on the other side of the bracket

Hoping the Heat lose both play in games
