whitesoxfan101 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Magic win that game last night IMO if they were playing for something, so I'm very glad they were eliminated before the game ever started. If they were smart, they'd lock up Ariza and Darko....as for Stevenson, depends on what the money is. He's a nice reserve and has legit 2 guard size, so keeping him would be a plus as well.

Judging by the double digit lead in the 1st half, they seemed to be playing hard last night. I don't buy the theory that a team doesn't try as hard unless they are playing for something. Especially a young and up and coming team like Orlando. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they played as hard as they could I'm sure, but subconsiously in a place the Magic couldn't control, I'm sure (ESPECIALLY in overtime) the fire wasn't just quite there as much since a win would do very little for them.

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Washington beat Milwaukee tonight. I'm not sure what that means for the Bulls, but I think Washington might lock up the #5 seed with that win, which IMO is good news since I want no part of Bulls vs. LeBron in the 1st round.

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 (edited) The playoff picture cleared up a lot more out West tonight. Sacramento won, which means the Lakers must win tomorrow night. A Laker win gives them the #7 and Sac Town the #8, and if they lose the Lakers fall to the #8 and Sac Town gets the #7. And Memphis "won" against the Clippers, which is great for the Clippers. Due to the ridiculous setup, the Grizzlies win gives them the #5 seed. But getting the #5 seed means Memphis must face the #3 team in the league in terms of record (but only #4 seed in the west) Dallas w/o home court, while the #6 seed Clippers will have home court advantage due to overall record against #3 seed Denver, a vastly inferior team to Dallas.

Their 40th victory keeps the Bulls alive for a fifth, sixth or seventh spot in the playoffs. A victory in their season finale Wednesday at the United Center against the lowly Raptors would enable them to dodge the eighth seed and avoid playing the Pistons. http://www.suntimes.com/output/sports/cst-spt-bull18.html April 18, 2006 BY BRIAN HANLEY Staff Reporter A victory Wednesday at home against the Toronto Raptors in the regular-season finale would guarantee the Bulls no worse than the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They could move up as high as fifth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless of course the locals here know more than both of the cities Bulls beat writers. Those articles seem to have been published after the Milwaukee game was already over tonight so I assume that they already had those results in when writing their articles. I'm almost positive that if everyone won out(meaning Milwaukee won tonight) we would have been the 8. EDIT: I'm officially out of it. I was thinking today was monday, my god.

SoxAce Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 So if we win tomorrow, are we still the 7th seed or do we move up to 6th? Cause we were 2-2 against Indiana in the season. I'd rather play NJ than Mia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause we were 2-2 against Indiana in the season. I'd rather play NJ than Mia. If the Bulls win tomorrow, they are clear of Milwaukee, who finished 40-42, and the Bulls finish 41-41. An Indiana loss tomorrow would also clear the Bulls of Indy (assuming the Bulls win) as Indy would finish 40-42. A Washington win tomorrow sends them to 42-40, and locks them in at 5th. Now, I'm almost positive that the Bulls would lose the tiebreaker to Indiana, but would win a tiebreaker over Washington. So these would be the senarios: Bulls lose tomorrow=Bulls 8th, the end Bulls win, Indiana wins, Washington wins=Bulls 7th Bulls win, Indiana wins, Washington loses=Bulls 6th Bulls win, Indiana loses, Washington wins=Bulls 6th Bulls win, Indiana loses, Washington loses=Bulls 5th So basically, Bulls lose and they are 8th, win and Ind/Was win, they are 7th, win and Ind or Was lose and they are 6th, win/Ind AND Was lose, they are 5th. Is this accurate? Lord only knows, but I'm PRETTY sure it is.... I HOPE the Bulls get the #6, I like their chances against New Jersey a lot more than I do against Detroit, Shaq/DWade, or LeBron.
