:-) This is just silly now. So collapsing in the 4th is part of their strategy now? So they could break the game open and have LeBron resting on the benching icing up 5 minutes before the game even ends but they choose to let the other team hang on to the last minute? That's a good strategy to you and you think they're doing it on purpose? Posted via Mobile Device [Reply]

That's the last time a #1 seed bitched out in the first round.
Probably but the East is still pretty bad. You would have thought it would have gotten better over time but all the best players outside of Lebron and George play in the West. If George goes to LA next year it is only going to get worse.
Just for fun I did an exercise to see what the playoffs would look like if they reseed all these teams and put them in a 16 team bracket. If I did this right the semi finals would be GS vs Cavs and SA vs Rockets.
