The top 5 in the East are so tough and I expect the current top 5 to be there in the end. I would love to see us find a way into the #3 seed and not have to play the 4/5 matchup. Philly, Bucks, Nets, Celtics would all be tough outs in a series.Things are tight in the East. We're a game and a half out of first. Philly's one game behind us.
