Official "3 Seed" Watch Thread

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

I intend to update this every day, so don't swat it...

Making the case that Orlando is a lock to be the 3 seed, (in which case BOS & CLE can bang it out in the semis)...

Orlando is 35-22

Cleveland is 31-24

Orlando has 25 games remaining, 6 Vs. teams over .500, and 7 within their division...

Cleveland has 27 games remaining, 9 Vs. teams over .500, and 10 within their division (3 of which are Vs. Detroit (3/19, 3/29, 4/16))

Orlando and Cleveland play eachother 2 more times this year (Mar 17, Apr 5), Cleveland won both of the previous meetings...

Orlando has 6 games Vs. the West remaining, Cleveland has 4, Orlando is 12-12 Vs. the West this year, Cleveland is 14-12

Toughest Remaining Games

Orlando- San Antonio (3/25), New Orleans (4/1), and the 2 CLE games

Cleveland- @ Boston (2/27), New Orleans (3/26), us 3 times, and the two ORL games



All things considered, Orlando is currently 3 games ahead of Cleveland...

Barring a key injury to one of Orlando's "somewhat-big 3", Orlando easily has the advantange to win the 3 seed

I hope somehow Cleveland rises to 3rd. I want to play the best teams possible in every round. No gimmies.

No poll? Swat this shit.

Yeah, I agree with you.

Are you matter? Because you're everywhere at everytime.

He thinks it' still the 18th century and England rules half the world...

[Darth Thanatos]

At least they still have America Jr.(Canada)

Ok, I confess: I may have something to do with the recent slayings of prostitutes in the Whitechapel area...

Fuck that. Are you kidding me?? We're talking about the Pistons, the most Jekyll/Hyde team in the NBA the last 5 years...

I don't want to deal with LeBron again. Give me Orlando, and give me fresh legs for the ECF...

[Timone]

We haven't had fresh legs for the ECF since 05.

[Wilfredo Ledezma]

We haven't had fresh legs for the ECF since 05.

I know, playing a team with a backcourt that consists of me and you is exactly what the Pistons need to be fresh for the ECF, especially when you consider the fact that the starters are playing the lowest minutes they have ever played since they've became Pistons...

The formula to succeed this year is perfect if things fall into place. Look at Cleveland last year, they got the 2 seed, played a Wizards team w/o Caron or Arenas in the 1st round, and then played the 6 seed depleted Nets in the 2nd round...

I'd take a breeze in the first 2 rounds any year...
