When Wednesday evening began, the San Antonio Spurs could have fallen anywhere from 3rd to 6th place in playoff seeding. But now that all 82 games have been played, the brackets are now officially set.

(Sorry, Pacers, Knicks, Bucks, T-Wolves - Better luck next year!)

Another NBA regular season is down the drain (much like Isiah’s future with the Knicks), and it’s time to get some serious ballin’ going on.

So, who gets to face who?

First, in the Western Conference, where a 48-34 record doesn’t get you into the post-season:

• (1) Los Angeles Lakers vs. (8) Denver Nuggets

Let’s see Kobe try to clear an Aston Martin driven by Carmelo Anthony.

• (2) New Orleans Hornets vs. (7) Dallas Mavericks

Does Mark Cuban’s blogger ban carry over for the playoffs?

• (3) San Antonio Spurs vs. (6) Phoenix Suns

Just like last year, it should be a bloody good time.

• (4) Utah Jazz vs. (5) Houston Rockets

Winners of 22 straight games face off against drinkers of 22 straight gins.

And now, the Eastern Conference, where a 37-45 record does get you into the post-season:

• (1) Boston Celtics vs. (8) Atlanta Hawks

Doc Rivers & Josh Childress can hardly contain their excitement:

• (2) Detroit Pistons vs. (7) Philadelphia 76ers

Porn bangers vs. Palace brawlers.

• (3) Orlando Magic vs. (6) Toronto Raptors

Can Chris Bosh magically awaken his timid Toronto supporters?

• (4) Cleveland Cavaliers vs. (5) Washington Wizards

Will an on-court photo of LeBron James & Gilbert Arenas together cause more moral outrage? Agent Zero better make sure he looks good.

All the fun starts on Saturday. Check local listings for game times in your area - ’cause we can’t do everything for you.
