Our long, strange journey has one more stop to make. Is there any way we thought we’d be all the way back in October? Hell no, but we’re here now. The Brooklyn Nets made it to this point after beating the Indiana Pacers on Sunday afternoon at Barclays Center to clinch the seventh seed.
Waiting for Brooklyn will be the Cleveland Cavaliers. Injuries wreaked havoc on the Cavs this year, but they’ve fought incredibly hard to make it to this point and deserve a lot of props. They sealed the eighth place position after knocking around the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon.
