Best NBA Playoff Race That I Have Ever Seen! Best Team in the Conference (Nets) in danger of actually missing the playoffs. Probably not a gimme matchup in the first round other than whichever team happens to face Milwaukee. And even they might be challenged depending on the matchup. Only a 9 game win difference separating 10 teams.

I cannot believe how close it all is. Unfortunately they let too many teams in, so it is really just a matter of home court and seeding.

I don't believe that home court will matter as much as it has in previous years due to the parity which exists in the league currently.

If homecourt really mattered, Giannis, Khris and Jrue would not have all sat out on Friday night.

i wonder if the coach knows his guys like that. some players admit to prefer playing away. they say there is less distraction. and they like silencing the crowd. the bucs might be half intentionally giving up home court.

The #3 team will have the easiest first round.

i believe milwaukee has the best team in the conference - along with arguably, the best player. the nets may have the best 1-2 punch, but they are not the best team. i watched the nets last night and they have some crap on the floor. players that continuously get beat down the court for easy lay-ups and dunks, while durant and irving have to break their backs on double and triple teams to get 2s & 3s. andre drummond is a career sub .50% free throw shooter. you know opposing coaches know this.

milwaukee almost never takes a possession off.

i agree with you about parity, but despite review, you still want home court because you will get the whistles.

if van vleet is healthy, i feel toronto will be the biggest bitch to play against. they are getting hot at the right time.

Toronto shouldn't be allowed in the playoffs until they drop vax mandates. Or play elsewhere. There's still key players around that aren't vaxxed.

everyone in the East should be fighting each other for the right to play the Bulls in round 1. That's the closest thing to a bye the NBA has ever had.

Nah, you take home court advantage where you can get it.



That would be your 4/5 matchup right now. Hope Danny Green's ready to play 48 minutes a game in Toronto.
