Changing seeding SHOULDN'T make much difference unless they feel that someone might throw games. Certainly 2-3,6-7 are the best seeds this year.

That's the thing that bugs me. An average Pheonix team, a very average Denver team, a fading Memphis team, or an out-manned Hornets team is guaranteed to make the conference final and set themselves up for an upset when they get they're, because they don't have to go up against a powerhouse.

And i will go on record and say that if there is a tie with one game left that decided a team from being 5th or 6th, one of those team will throw a game.

I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
