Nearly two months off, but Nets' and Cavs' play each other last game of the season in Cleveland on 4/16. It'd be nuts if it were for the 8 seed(and ATL being playoff ghosts at that point)....
Edit: Just to echo most here, it seems more realistic the Nets catch the Wiz and/or Bulls/Raps than fall out of the playoffs, but in regards to the East and the Nets this season, where has being realistic gotten anybody?...
