Agreed, but doesn't really matter... They all have about zero realistic chances of advancing.

[sbw19]

Agreed, but doesn't really matter... They all have about zero realistic chances of advancing. Yeah, but I'm thinking at least one of them will advance. Some math whiz plz do probability of all four not advancing (assuming each team has 25% chance for simplification)

In that case, I would also give the Wizards a slight edge, because I think they have a good chance of winning Game 7 in Atlanta... I just don't see the series going to 7 games, Hawks are closing this out in DC.

About 30 percent.

[Eric Cartman]

Bulls are the only team advancing.

Bump and give me credit when the time comes.

[coin24]

The Bulls collapse in game 4 was the nail in there coffin. No heart puss.ies..

Wizards are the only team I can see with a tiny chance of coming back or even forcing a game 7..

[JebronLames]

Bulls are still massive favorites

Wizards
Grizz
Rocks

[buddha]

wizards and bulls are going to game 7's and either team could win imo

grizzlies and clippers are ending in 6

You don't really need to be a math/statistics whiz, it's 0,75^4 = 31,6% ish

[Genaro]

Wizards
Grizzlies
Bulls
Rockets

[Sportal]

A real shame about the Wizards. They've surprised tbh.

[Magic 32]

Bulls are still massive favorites

1.Bulls
2.Wizards
3.Grizzlies
4.Rockets

Any other order is wrong

Should actually be the comportment of that. Prob that all teams up 3-2 end up advancing = .75^4. So the probability that any other combination where one or more underdogs advance is 1-.75^4 = .684. Meaning it's more than 50% likely that at least one of the underdogs will advance. But that's assuming a 25% advancement rate when being down 2-3.

Prepare for all the nostradamuses that didn't even post in this thread to come and say "I said so"

We all know it was incredibly unlikely for Rockets to advance at the point this thread was created and it looked like Clippers were on a roll.
