NBA Playoff Seedings: What did I miss??

[Capybara]

Why is a Celtics/Cavs series all set? Aren't the three-seed Hawks still tied with the six-seed Bucks? If Bucks win it, why wouldn't they have to play the Cavs, since the Celts were the four seed???

because im pretty sure NBA doesnt do it like the NFL where the lowest seed plays the highest, the bracket is set at the beginning and if there is a upset it doesnt change anything

That is retarded! It was a perfect system in every sport -- lowest remaining seed plays highest remaining seed, that's the only fair way. Dumb.
