The NBA season is over and we now know who has made the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. Lebron James has willed his team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, to another top finish in the East, but that shouldn’t come as any surprise. They’re the clear number one and have been that way for many weeks now. The Toronto Raptor came up just short of being the top team, but were extremely impressive this season.
The Detroit Pistons will be facing the Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs, and while they’re likely to lose, many of their fans are excited just to be even in the playoffs.
The Raptors will be facing off against the Indiana Pacers, the seven seed. With pairings like this, we suspect both of the top two seeds will make the second round quite easily.
As for the rest of East, the Heat, Hawks, Celtics, and Hornets make up the rest of the playoff teams from the conference.
