I'm pretty sure that KY is not celebrating. Would Giants fans celebrate the Jets winning a SB.....especially when Bill Parcells was their coach? The answer is no.

Why was Michigan so much better when Trey Burke was off the floor?
Why did he never pass the ball to the little white guy who lit it up in the first half? |

"The Knicks are absolutely superstar dependent. Take Melo and Amare out of the mix and that team is 10 games below .500. "
Relative to Miami, or to OKC, they are not. They have Chandler, JR Smith, Kidd, and a few other good players. Amar'e used to be a superstar. The Knicks have been as good or better when he does not play. |

"The Pacers and the Knicks are not so superstar-dependent, so they might have an even better chance than those listed."

By point differential and strength of schedule, OKC is almost 2 points better than SA, and SA is a bit better than Miami.
Due perhaps to strength of remaining schedule, OKC is likely to have home court vs SA, so they're about twice as likely to make it to the Finals. For several years, the Spurs always managed to crank it up for the playoffs; but not lately. They're just too old. Miami and OKC have the 2 best players in the game, by far. Their sidekicks are pretty darn good, too. |

I wonder how they came up with those numbers. San Antonio and OK City are currently tied, but both are a few games back from the Heat. New York and Indiana are wayyyyyyyy back from Miami.

If a team (the Heat, say) are 95% likely to win round 1, 85% in round 2, and 75% in round 3: they're 60% likely to get to the Finals.

Yeah, but those teams in the East with no superstars don't have great records. Sure, in a short series they could pull an upset. But overall they just don't play well over the long haul.
But I do agree that superstars don't guarantee anything. The Grizzlies traded their leading scorer Rudy Gay for Tayshaun Prince and have been playing better since then. |

Well, the Heat are 1-2 vs both Chicago and Indiana, 1-3 vs NY.
They've been considerably better vs the West (25-5) than against the East (34-11) These are small sample sizes, but they point up the possibility of a loss any time one of the Heat stars is not having a great game. Most teams run a lot deeper, and they have guys off the bench who would start for Miami. |
