If the Cavs had lost, the Pistons surely would have beaten them on Wednesday to make sure that they opened the first round on the road. Sixers may have played more inspired ball on Wdnesday to beat the Bobcats and the Bulls playing spoilers would have beaten the Raptors on Wednesday.
So the lineup this weekend would have been
Hawks at Celtics
Raptors at Pistons
Sixers at Magic
Cavs at Wizards |
I don't think it is necessarily due to Cavs being the NBA's primadonnas, although it does look suspicious enough since NBA would love to see LeBron vs. Boston in the conference semis. I think it is due to the incompetence of some of the men with the whistle. It may have been an accurate call at that point nowithstanding two previously missed calls - travel on LeBron and Z shoving Dalembert into Brown with foul being called on Dalembert.
