Had the playoffs started today, it would be like this:

Western Conference:
New Orleans Pelicans vs. Los Angeles Clippers
Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets

Play-in Tournament:
Sacramento Kings vs. Dallas Mavericks (Winner plays the Oklahoma City Thunder, the loser plays the winner of #9 vs. #10)
Golden State Warriors vs. Los Angeles Lakers (Winner play the loser of #7 vs. #8, the loser will be eliminated)
and the winner of the last play-in tournament will play the Minnesota Timberwolves

Eastern Conference:
Indiana Pacers vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Philadelphia 76ers vs. New York Knicks

Paly-in Tournament:
Orlando Magic vs. Miami Heat (Winner plays the Cleveland Cavaliers, the loser plays the winner of #9 vs. #10)
Atlanta Hawks vs. Chicago Bulls (Winner plays the loser of #7 vs. #8, the loser will be eliminated)
and the winner of the last play-in tournament will play the Boston Celtics

and if I'm the Orlando Magic, Chicago Bulls and the Atlanta Hawks, I would NOT want to play the Celtics and if you're the Celtics, you do not want to play the Miami Heat

Thoughts?
