The Easts MAD Chase for 5th & 2nd Seed Up for Grabs (MAJOR SHUFFLING OPPORTUNITIES)

That is NUTS.


Bucks in a funny spot.

They play the Magic and kind of have to play them seriously.

If they tank/lose, the Knicks get their 2nd seed, and the Bucks will play the Pacers or Sixers in the first round, which is what they wanted to avoid, but since the 5th seeded Magic are literally their last opponent, the only way of avoiding this, is by taking the Magic seriously.



And if they do beat the Magic, the Magic will probably slide to 7th, whie the Sixers and Pacers win. Athough I hope the Pacers will lose too, giving us the Sixers at 5 which is by far best / most just for the playoffs / conference, and gives us a blockbuster Bucks-Pacers R1 (if the Pacers win the play-in against Miami).

some of the games Bucks to irrelevant are now biting them in the ass with no Giannis and Dame iffy.

2024/25 season will be Bucks last chance at a title ..

Bucks intentionally lost the game against the magic, most likely avoiding another potential 1st round matchup against heat. They wouldn't last anyway tho, with rivers inevitably turning them into shit.

Meanwhile, the heat will likely seek to battle hard against the sixers in the play-ins to avoid facing the Cs in the first round and make it to 7th in order to face NY instead.
