Just to be clear:
The team that has the best record in each of the three divisions in each conference is declared division champion. The three division champions, and another team in the conference with the best record, are seeded one through four by their records.
This guarantees the division champions no worse than the fourth seed, and also guarantees the team with the second-best record in the conference will be the second seed even if it happens to finish second in its division.
Of the remaining eleven conference teams, the four with the best records are seeded fifth through eighth based on their record.
Based on this, yes, the Wizards are right now the #4 seed. Cavs 5.
The division leaders are Toronto, Chicago (our division) and Atlanta.
Cavs are 3.5 games behind Bulls (doable). And 5 games behind Wizards (also doable). Still a ton of games left.
The #2 seed is still very achievable, and is a great goal. To me Atlanta is the clear best team in the East (not including Cavs) and would want to avoid them until the Eastern finals.
