Celtics Have Clinched a Playoff Spot

[Kane3387]

Not sure why this hasn't been made into a big deal but we have clinched a playoff spot with the Bobcats recent loss. We could lose the rest of our games (wont happen) and still finish with a better record then Charlotte who is presently 9th. Thus we can do no worse then the 8th seed in the East and are in the playoffs!

Not really a big deal. If anyone was expecting us to fall into the lottery, most people would think they're either haters or insane.

Plus, we don't care about playoffs. When we clinch an NBA title, that'll be a big deal.

Not exactly the champagne party in the locker room that it is in baseball, huh.

Lol I just mean like a headline or something on one of the websites. An article on ESPN Boston, something on the bottom of ESPN that says, "THE LEAD: Celtics Clinch Playoff Spot" You know something like that. Just a little recognition.

Always cool to hear when something like this becomes official

Good to know that if we loose every game til the end of the season we'll still be at the playoffs.

Not the kind of thing Doc wants to get out I am sure.

Five years ago news like this would be cause for celebration. We’ve come a long way…

We don't even put up banners for winning our division.

We clinched a playoff berth? Ok, who do we play next? Oh, the Clippers? Awesome, that's our focus. </Belicheck>
