The East is "worse," but it's worse because Philly is going to be so bad they're challenging for the losses record and Orlando won't be far behind them. Having worse teams doesn't mean you need less wins to make it into the top 8.
Bobcats currently under .500 and are gonna be the 7th seed"Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

What I honestly wanted this season was for to get a top 3 pick and trade DD or Rudy for another lottery pick
Also did not expect Lowry to play this well and I also wanted him gone for a lottery pick hahaha
Lineup would have been
PG:Elfrid Payton( Lowry trade)
SG: Terrence Ross
SF: Andrew Wiggins/ Jabari Parker ( Black hole or DD trade)
PF: Ed davis
C: Jonas Valanciunas"Both teams played hard my man" - Sheed

Not easy.
What has changed from what i said? One thing.... kyle Lowry has improbably become the guy I said he needed to be. Anyone who claims Lowry was ever, at any point even remotely close to where he now as a player, leader and man is just arguing for arguments sake.... everyone around him, and he himself have stated as much this year.
If your PG isn't a team leader, a selfless pro, and a top end guy...I don't like it, he has to go.
So next, a superstar. Who's coming guys? Lebron? Durant? don't hold your breath, I mean it can happen, but I'm not betting anything on it.
I wanted to tank for a game changing, CANADIAN star. I wanted Wiggans, and a low cost. I won't get what I want, and Toronto's future is very dicey at best..... I am super happy about playoffs, like really happy, but it doesn't change a thing about how I feel as far as what i thought they needed man.... not at all.
think of it like this. Masai.... he thought he was tanking...... it backfired

And he has done this. And this is unexpected and completely good.

When everyone is having a blast during the playoffs at the ACC or at the home parties, all these people who wanted to tank earlier in the season will be in the corner all alone with their arms crossed, hating every minute of it lol. SMH

Once Dolan nixed the Lowry trade and the team started on that great run a lot of the tankers were more than happy to hop on the playoff bandwagon and even most of the hardcore tankers realized their ship had sailed and there would be no top 5 pick. I think the only ones really pissed off are a few of those that still wanted to trade Lowry at the deadline.If we knew half as much about coaching an NBA team as we think, we"d know twice as much as we do.
