OK, you know the situation.  The Cavaliers and Bulls are tied with one game to go.  Bulls hold the tiebreaker.  Winner gets the #2 seed, loser gets the #5 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.  
The Cavs are at home to play the 28th-best team in the NBA, the Milwaukee Bucks.  Milwaukee will be without their best player, Michael Redd.  I'm not expecting a very close game.
Meanwhile, Chicago has to travel to New Jersey, where they have lost their last 10 games.  The Nets have already locked up a playoff spot, but a win tonight would clinch the 6th-seed.  Trust me, Vince Carter and Jason Kidd would MUCH rather play the 3rd-seeded Toronto Raptors than have to see the Cavs or the Bulls, so this one will be a hard-fought win for whoever comes out on top.  The Nets can look at it this way - if they lose tonight against Chicago, they have to face the same Bulls team in the first round.  That should be motivation....a quasi-one-game-playoff.
Cavs tip off at 7pm, Bulls at 730.  Should be very interesting at the Q.
