So if we beat Miami next game, and assuming we sweep the last remaining games, we get #6 by virtue of the tiebreaker right?

I believe we are two games behind the Heat. So we'd have to win out and The heat would have two loose two.
Which is very possible since they play the Sixers and the Bucks.

But do the Sixers and the Bucks have anything to play for?

Basketball gods are punishing the team that lacks 2 basic elements of the game... play making and height.. Danny and Brad keep taking short pg who cannot defend anyone.. and centers who cannot stop anyone

Amen. Right on target.

Danny has some obsession about building the Celtics in the mold of the Golden State title teams. Problem is that team had two of the top 3-point shooters in NBA history. It doesn't work without that. Plus, the finals loss team was without their center, Bogut, the last three games due to injury.
The Four Celtic Generals:
Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:
Cousy - Havlicek - McHale - Pierce

Oh, Basketball Gods, please let the play-in tournament put this team out of its misery and force management's hand.

I think Washington is making the playoffs from the play-in but it would be CRAZY if Charlotte makes it over us.
