Oh how sweet these playoffs may turn out to be.
Amid all the various scenarios heading into the final day of the season, I had always just assumed we would stick as the East’s second seed. That’d have been fine by me; we’d need to dive headfirst into the fire eventually, so if that meant playing the Nets right away, then so be it.
Little had I given the possibility of dropping into the three spot and playing the Chicago Bulls much thought. Probably because, if we can be frank, the Bulls are as close to a nothingburger as it gets in a playoff field like the NBA’s.
