2 is not even close to unlikely. Its not a definite but it's not an unlikely. Bucks have OKC, Boston and Orlando twice. Orlando has Bucks twice, 76ers after Rockets. We have Bulls, Nets and Celtics team. Bucks and Orlando beat each other.... Its a real possibility.
2nd seed was 4.1% chance according to basketball reference playoff odds (before tonight). It's probably around 10-20% now i assume.
statistically it's not likely but sure it's a real possibility. those odds probably don't take into account the celtics could likely be resting their guys.

Knicks get the 2 seed. Thibbs should be considered Coach of the Year and Brunson should be in the MVP conversation. 2 seed? With all the adversity we've endured? Wow.
agreed but part of it is the bucks and cavs collapsing and in general the east not having great records other than boston. 48-49 wins could get the 2nd seed which is crazy. they both deserve a ton of credit regardless.
