I know it looks like the Cavs' reserve players were actually trying to win, but in actuality it was a brilliant plan:
Because of that Philly win (and the Bulls loss), Boston will have to play Chicago in the first round instead of Philly. That'll be a much tougher series for the Celtics.

Oh and dynamite performance by Daniel Gibson.
Tryhus and I were talking the other day about that UT team: what if they had stayed together?

We were a pointguard away from greatness this past season. Unfortunately, that's a pretty dang important position.

Seriously, this is working out better than I could have imagined.

I think Cavs win no matter what, but I think the Bulls will be a tougher match up for Cleveland than everybody thinks. Even after going 7.

It's possible. I think you're right actually when you factor in another presumably tough series against the Magic. If the Celtics make it to the Cavs, they will be so beat up, bruised and worn down. The youthful Bulls probably wouldn't be affected as much by the grind.
I expect the Cavs to dispatch the Hawks in 5 - if that's who they play.

By the way, is Vinny del Negro the worst coach in history, when it comes to drawing up an inbounds play?

Oops, I was thinking Chicago played Cleveland next series. Shows you how much attention I pay to the East.
Del Negro is certainly up there, but Flip Saunders from the "Lebron Game" back in 2007 wins the Lifetime Achievement Award.
