In the Eastern conference, when we consider playoff seedings, there are some facts that are almost certain.
- Lebron James will be at the top.
- The Chicago Bulls will be somewhere near the top.
- The race for the sixth, seventh and eighth seed will be a piranha tank
The difference between the Eastern and Western Conference is obvious and well documented (although some have noted that may be changing). Nobody will claim that trying to earn one of the lower seeds in the East is akin to doing the same in the West, where one game often separates seeds three through nine.
