NBA Midseason Thread
Okay, so the All-Star Game isn't until next weekend, but every team has played at least half their games, so let's start discussing.
IF THE PLAYOFFS STARTED TODAY
The East brackets would look like:
(1) Indiana Pacers vs. (8) Boston Celtics
(4) Milwaukee Bucks vs. (5) New Orleans Hornets
(2) New Jersey Nets vs. (7) New York Knicks
(3) Detroit Pistons vs. (6) Toronto Raptors
The West brackets would look like:
(1) Sacramento Kings vs. (8) Denver Nuggets
(4) Dallas Mavericks vs. (5) Los Angeles Lakers
(2) Minnesota Timberwolves vs. (7) Houston Rockets
(3) San Antonio Spurs vs. (6) Memphis Grizzlies
How much will these change over the next few months? Can the Grizzlies (the GRIZZLIES) hold on to a playoff berth? Can the Lakers get healthy and get first-round home court advantage? Can the Midwest send SIX of their seven teams into the playoffs?
MOST VALUABLE PLAYER
Who's it going to be? Tracy McGrady has been on fire, but the Magic seem rooted in the Atlantic cellar. Kevin Garnett's got the Timberwolves on top, but he has a supporting cast for the first time in his career. Will it be the usual suspects (AI? Shaq/Kobe? Duncan?)? Or is it going to be somebody who thus far has been totally off the MVP radar? Maybe one of the Pistons leaders (Billups or Wallace)? Jermaine O'Neal? Mike Bibby? 'Melo?!?
Discuss.

This is what we're dealing with now.
