True. If Lopez is healthy then a lot could go different. Garnett is still a decent player despite his age and he and Lopez should prove to be a good frontcourt if healthy. There's just so many injury risks on that team though. Then again, they have a lot of talent remaining. They have Jarrett Jack now and while he's not the same kind of player as Livingston, he provides a good 3rd guard option for them if off the bench. Kirilenko still has a good amount left in the tank I think and he can slide right into the starting SF role. I guess we'll see.
Someone correct me if im wrong here but i dont think 3 teams from the same division can get the first 3 seeds. While i do think those 3 end up being the 3 best teams in the east, im not sure the seeding works that way.
It doesn't. I think if you're division leader you lock a spot in the top 4...or something weird like that. Maybe you can have two teams from the same division be in the top 4...I'm really not sure how that rule works.
