The toughest schedule down the stretch in the East by far is Philly with 5 of 6 on the Road and they are the 8th Seed and a possible meaningful date with the Bucks in Beer Town USA.

The toughest schedule in the West has to be the Suns and a meaningful date with the Jazz in the new Salt Palace.

As for the Top 4 seeds......SPURS have LAKEshow twice and the LAKEshow have Spurs twice coupled with a date to Staples by OK City.

BULLS have Heat and Pacers on the road and Mavs sandwiched in on the West Side with the HEAT with ONLY the BULLS and C's.

Crunch Time...Crunch Time....Crunch Time and if your on the port-a-potty do something or get off and let some else do damage.
