Looks like the basketball God’s are looking for a way to apologize to NBA fans for all the players they’ve taken from us. If the season ended today the playoffs would look like this in the Eastern Conference.

A Cavs vs Heat first round match-up would be a great first step at gaining our forgiveness. LeBron playing his best friend and former teammate Dwyane Wade after just winning two rings together. Kyrie Irving making his playoff debut in a what would be heavily watched series. We know he’s no stranger to stepping up in big moments.

The final faceoff between the Cavs and Heat takes place tonight on TNT. The Heat currently leads the season series 2-1. Look for Miami to come out hard considering they are still fighting to secure a playoff spot unlike the Cavs who already have.

Tip off tonight at 8:00pm ET on TNT.
