Plenty of drama as contenders jostle for spots in playoff dance

Milwaukee likely to be top seed, but the rest are still hoping to make their mark

MIAMI - The NBA playoff field is largely set - but the positioning is still anyone's guess.

So even while some of the drama we could have had over the final 2 1/2 weeks of the regular season won't materialize - LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are already out of the playoffs, robbing us of one potential storyline - the races for seedings and home-court advantage are almost certain to go down to the final days of the season.
