Games through 4/25/2014

Below are graphs showing the probability of each team reaching each round of the playoffs.  The graphs show how a team's chances change over time.  One thing that's interesting is that Miami has the best chance of reaching the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals, but not the championship.  The teams in the west are rated so much better that whoever comes out of the west will probably be a favorite over Miami.
