There are three ways that we can wind up playing Cleveland in the playoffs this year.
1. We finish ahead of the Mean Greenies and the Magic finish with a better record than the Cavs. The Cavs and us would then meet in the second round.
2. The Cavs finish with a better record than the Magic and be seeded third in the second round so if we both advance to the second round we would play them. Right now the shorthanded Cavs are only 2 games back of the Magic. I think that there is a good chance that they will pass them.
3. The Cavs finish with a worse record than the Magic. The Cavs than become 4th seed. The Cavs win the first round and beat the Mean Greenies in the 2nd round. We then face the Cavs in the ECF.
I think that #2 is the most likely scenario and therefore upon further pondering this difficult question I have come to a temporary and reversible opinion that there is a great chance that we will face the Cavs in the playoffs.
