good leave so we can get the ice down for a man's game tonight
haha. you looking over your shoulder yet??
I love watching the knicks lose. I can't stand them.
Just looked at the standings. Did the NBA change things so that the three division winners aren't guaranteed the top 3 spots? Looks that way based on how the standings are on espn and nba.com. That could be good or bad for the sixers. Would be nice to avoid miami in round 2 (if they can get there). I still think the heat get the 1 seed, so being stuck with the 4 could really blow.

if you win your division and one of the other non division winners has a better record, you get the 4th seed. think it's always been like that. 2nd round is probably their ceiling anyway though.
SECAUCUS, NJ, April 2, 2007 -- Confused by the new playoff seeding format? Were you confused by the old format?
Last season, much ado was made about the Spurs and Mavs, the teams with the two best records in the Western Conference, meeting in the Conference Semifinals because of the rule that gave the top three seeds to the division winners.
So, during the offseason, that rule was changed so that the two best teams in the conference would not face each other until the Conference Finals, even if they're in the same division.
As the regular season wraps up and some teams clinch playoff berths while others are eliminated, here's everything you need to know about how the playoff brackets are laid out.
2007 Nifty Numbers
The top four seeds will be the three division winners plus the team with the next best record. Those four will be ordered by record (and tiebreakers if needed), so it's possible that two teams in the same division could hold the top two spots, with the other two division winners at Nos. 3 and 4.
Seeds 5 through 8 are the next four teams according to record (and tiebreakers if needed).
First Round matchups are as follows:
1 vs. 8
4 vs. 5
2 vs. 7
3 vs. 6
Conference Semifinals matchups are as follows:
1-8 Winner vs. 4-5 Winner
2-7 Winner vs. 3-6 Winner
Homecourt advantage for any series is determined by record, not seed. So, it's possible that the 5 seed could have homecourt advantage over the 4, or that the 6 seed could have homecourt advantage over the 3.
Tiebreakers
(1) Head-to-head
(2) Division record (if the teams are in the same division)
(3) Conference record
(4) Record vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(5) Record vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(6) Net points, all games

so looks like hawes will be back tomorrow night? that is good news but i wonder how it will affect the flow of the offense. they seem to really be clicking right now with et starting.
their recent improved offensive production sort of seems like it is more sustainable than what they had early in the season too. early on they were relying on long jumpers and were not getting to the line a lot. turner's been aggressive in driving to the basket and it seems to have rubbed off on everyone else as they have been getting to the line way more often these last few games.
some good match ups with jrue on his old college back court buddy, et on on george, and iggy on granger. hibbert obviously has an advantage at center. but our bench is much better though.

sixers trade a 2nd for sam young. defensive wing off the bench. guess it's needed with et starting now. gives doug another piece to the puzzle regarding matchups and stuff.
and they played like shit down the stretch and noah called the team out for it's lack of defense lately.
on the bright side...deng is still struggling with his busted up wrist, CJ is still hurting with his busted up ankle and most importantly...Rose is out with a bad groin

i could see turner averaging 10 boards a game which would be ridiculous for a guard. solid win.

42 rebounds...got to the line 26 times. jrue shot poorly but i thought he played good defensively and he got to the line 7 times which is encouraging.
i love this team.

it was changed a couple of years ago..used to be division winners were the top 3 seeds regardless of record
now you get a banner for winning your division, but it doesn't carry any weight in the playoffs.
oh didn't realize that. been a while since the sixers were in the mix
guarantees home court for first round at least.
yeah, I was gonna say I remember the sixers getting the 3 seed vs orlando when LB first brought them back to the playoffs. that was over a decade ago.
don't believe it does. it gets you a pretty little banner to put in the rafters.
no it definitely does.

right...also that year the sixers played the magic, the sixers were the 6 seed, magic were 3. there were only 2 divisions per conference back then.

the knicks stink. they are better off benching their two "stars." way too predictable with melo on the floor. and amare looks old.
the sixers play ultimate team basketball--love it

former bull right?
yes. 4 bulls in the top 20 by my count.

be nice to win 2 out of the next 3...

and they were allergic to the foul line. one of those games.
at least turner put up beastly numbers again. keep it up kid. jrue played well on both ends too.
