By virtue of Cleveland's 0-0 draw last night with Indiana, the Bucks have officially clinched the Great Lakes Division.

Although Cleveland are still within 6 points of the Bucks with two games remaining, the Bucks win the first tie breaker which is head-to-head record, having beaten Cleveland in both meetings this season. Cleveland also clinched the 2nd seed in the Division last night as they would win a tiebreaker with Toronto. The Lynx can still qualify for the playoffs if the Bucks take the first seed in the Central Conference.

And there is a problem with this, as Toronto may have to lose their last game to the Bucks to make the playoffs. See my threads:

I would MUCH rather the bucks POUND THE CRAP out of Toronto to make them miss the playoffs! I think they deserve it for ruining another potential loss-less season. Anyone else agree or would you rather beat them in the playoffs?

Not that I have a personal issue with Toronto or anything....

I think any team would prefer a bye and one less game going into the Central Conference Tournament, which if you win in the semi-finals puts you in the finals the next day. At least one team will be playing 3 games in 4-5 days, all of which have the potential to go to overtime...

I'd laugh if we put in an own goal in the 90th min so they don't make it.

Or, wait until the end of the game and have Steve Clark knock one of their guys into next Tuesday to draw a penalty. You just know he'd be up for it.

Not that I, as a Bucks employee, would ever condone such a thing. I'm just saying.

But again, that would mean that Michigan isn't first overall, and would have to play a quarter-final match.
