No of course I'm not referring to the Celtics game. Go beat those Bulls. But who would we rather see triumph in the Orlando versus Cleveland match-up? Do we hope that Dwight stomps Lebron's butt and count on the C's going on a hot win streak to overtake the Cavs for the #1 seed? Or do we hope Big Z clotheslines Rashard, thus keeping us one step from further from slipping into the 3rd spot?

If we secretly have our fingers crossed for the second scenario, does that say anything about the fans' confidence that this team can rebound from these injuries and horrendous play and make a realistic challenge for home court in the East?

May Lucky the Leprechaun forgive me but as it stands with us sitting 3.5 games behind and only half a game ahead of the surging Magic, I'm almost wishing to see ^%#*#@ Cleveland with the W in Wednesday morning's boxscores...

#1 seed requires too much help from other teams to knock off Cle.  I'd rather see Cle beat Orlando to shore up the #2 for the C's.  I think the C's would beat Orlando with either the 2 or 3 seed but 2 seed would be preferable.

i think home court is gone. i think we need the Cavs to win tonight and boston to win...that would gave boston a full game lead on orlando. also the magic have to play the cavs and celtics again so those are going to be big for boston's seeding. boston has to stop losing to really bad teams though (bobcats, knicks, warriors, clippers, bucks). they cannot afford a loss tonight

I just want to see the Cavs lose. I don't care if we get home court or not anymore, I just want those arrogant, spoiled brats to lose against everyone.

As tough as it would be, it's still too early to give up on HCA, so I gotta root for the Magic.  Also, the Cavs still only have one home loss.  It would be a travesty for the '86 Celtics to have to share that record with this Cavs team.

That being said, if the Magic do win, that means they're not going anywhere, and if the Celtics want to hold on to that #2 seed or move up to #1, they need to get it going now.
