The Celtics have never been a seventh seed before

Did you know that?

This is the first time we've ever been a seventh seed! First time's the charm! Let's make some history

Once BOS takes that 1st (and 2nd?) game in NY, THEN it will be a series.

And don't look now, but looks like Carmelo nicked his shoulder a bit....all of those min piling up.

There is a reason why Doc takes care of his players.

Looking forward to seeing what BOS does with this 7th seed.

Im so lazy to look it up but has there ever been a 7th seed in nba playoff history that has made some noise in the playoffs...I know of 8th seeds that have knocked top seeds and it has happened i think 3 times..in fact the Knicks went all the way to the Finals...a 6th seed Rockets won all the way if im not mistaken but a 7th seed???.. Well hopefully we do make some history.

(7) San Antonio Spurs upset (2) Dallas Mavericks back in 2010 Playoffs! Though their effort fell short when they falter to the Nash-led (3) Phoenix Suns.

The Allan Houston-led Knicks fell 1-4 in the conference semis to the Reggie Miller-led Pacers in 1998

"A playoff series don't start until a team wins on the road"...remember that saying hahah.

Really hope the Celtics steal Game 1 or 2 at MSG, and defend home court.

If we steal 1 game at MSG, I think it can go either way.

If we steal 1 game at MSG, I think it can go either way.

Agree. I like our chances for three home wins. But rationally, I see two wins at MSG and one loss at home for a game 7 win. Did I say rationally?
