Celtics Playoff Seeding Thread

[chambers]

Who has the easier run home out of Washington and Toronto?

Wizards have the following schedule: @ GS, vs CHA, @ NYK, vs MIA, @ DET, @ MIA.

Raptors have the following schedule: vs PHI, @ IND (B2B), @ DET (B2B), vs MIA, @ NYK, @ CLE.

So I'd say that the Raptors have the slightly easier schedule going forward. Plus, with the tiebreaker already given to Toronto, I'd say that they're likely to keep the 3rd seed with Washington in 4th. So we'll need to try and keep the 1st seed for the better 2nd round matchup.

TP.

Looks like we are in a pretty good spot right now- at least we control our own destiny so to speak. A win vs Cleveland would be epic.

Bold = games still yet to be played tonight/yet to be determined

Boston defeated New York

Indiana at Cleveland

Dallas at Milwaukee

Chicago at New Orleans

Philadelphia at Toronto

Atlanta at Brooklyn

Denver at Miami

Washington at Golden State


Perfect night: Boston win; Indiana win/Cleveland loss; Milwaukee win; Chicago win; Toronto win; Atlanta win; Miami loss; Washington loss.

Another big night. Perhaps Indiana could pull off a win in Cleveland, which would both help us in the chase for the number one seed and help them try to make the playoffs (better matchup for us than Miami).

Indiana win tonight would be askingfor too much

Who would have predicted beating the Cavs to 50 wins for the season back in October? Not me.

The standings as it is now looks perfect.

Cavs stuck with either MIA/CHI (and they haven't done well against either).

Meanwhile I think we match up well with either MIA/CHI (without Wade) honestly.

Plus we avoid Toronto in the second round if they stay #3 and CLE get them 2nd round with a healthy Lowry.

Cavs down 2 with a minute to go! Come on, Pacers!!

[jpotter33]

Overtime!

[hpantazo]

Overtime in Cleveland. Pacers blew two chances to win this.

Paul George is the man, but no wonder that team sucks. It's basically only him on that team with a bunch of "meh" players.

[jpotter33]

Paul George would look sooooooo good in green!

[jpotter33]

And freaking Monta falls asleep on defense giving up a JR three, and then JR matches the dumb play by fouling PG! Lol

[dwlefty13]

Paul George only makes 1 out of 2 free throws. Pacers are giving this game away to the Cavs.

[hpantazo]

Paul George would look sooooooo good in green!

Well he blew a free throw that would have won this in OT

[hpantazo]

ok.....Love just gave the ball back to the Pacers with 1 second left...unbelievable

[jpotter33]

Omg, this has been a textbook example of how NOT to finish games. But how about that Pacers D down the stretch?
