It's possible they have the favorable schedule and I don't see this Cavs team beating the Spurs tomorrow night.
They're playing the Bulls at home on TNT (19 game streak right there), which has the added bonus of national TV Rondo.
At the very same time, the Heat are going to struggle moving out of the 8th seed while Dion Waiters is still out, but will likely get themselves back into form when he returns just before the post-season starts.
Plus, post-ASB Raptors with Lowry are probably the 2nd best team in the East, by a decent margin. Their defense has become elite without one of their better defenders playing. They've become a gritty, pull games together team, without their captain. They're also a decent margin behind the Wizards.
Cavs might just want to make a decision to go for 2nd seed XD.
Man I don't want to play Memphis in the playoffs.
I mean, they were going through a major slump, although they seemed to have recovered now that Parsons was out.
