More important will be the Celtics chances of keeping on pace to hold the #1 seed (hopefully).
You should be right but if you polled what fans would prefer, Brooklyn finishing last or Celtics getting 1 seed, would not be surprised if more fans took Brooklyn last. I would.
I would take the 1 seed over the extra lottery balls. People are underrating what the number 1 seed would mean to this team in the playoffs. The path to the ECF would be much easier
No one who has a brain is underrating that - having homecourt throughout is huge.
The path to the ECF is the same. Some prefer Toronto with a rusty Lowry while others prefer Washington and their inexperience. Either way we have HCA.
The ONLY difference we have with the #1 seed is having HCA vs Cleveland. At this point it doesn't really matter. HCA might give us a game advantage but we are not beating them in a 7 game series. Unless a Lebron gets hurt or Kyrie and Love are out, we have no chance.
