Well, if Kyrie remains out the rest of the game, I'll probably start rooting for a loss to help the Pacers out in their hunt for the third seed, which will benefit us.
I think it's highly unlikely that we catch Toronto for the one seed OR have to worry about someone catching us at the two seed. So given that three of our top four scorers and starters are out, why not help us out in the long run by helping Indy in their playoff seeding chase?
