Casey says everybody will play in tomorrow's season finale vs Cavs, wants to get guys more reps together, go into the playoffs with momentum

Makes sense, I think.  With Lowry's injury, he's only played 3 games total with Ibaka and Tucker.

After 18 months with their Bigs, the Littles were: 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 52% less likely to skip school, 37% less likely to skip a class

What Casey is saying about the Raps is kind of how I feel about the C's. Even if they back into the best record by Cleveland losing to Toronto, I want the Celtics to beat the Bucks and go into the playoffs feeling confident and feeling like they earned the #1 seed.

Definitely an important game coming up.  Winning the last game wraps up the #1 seed.
We definitely avoid Cleveland till the ECF.
And as someone pointed out, we avoid Toronto until the second round as well.

Basically it forces the best remaining Eastern teams to win out their series to face us.
And if we face Cleveland in the ECF finals, if there's a game 7 I'd much rather it be held in Boston!
Really a lot of positive stuff so far.  Rooting for Celtics to lock up that #1 seed.

I don't think Cleveland cares as much about seeding because they feel they will make it to the finals regardless cos Lebron.  But we're gonna need all the help we can get!

I felt at the beginning of the year this was at least a 50 win team.  I did not predict that they could end up with the #1 seed with 1 game to go though!!  Awesome, let's go Celtics!!!

No, we avoid them altogether--unless we meet in the ECF

Wow. Sure CLE happy to learn that.

Play the starters in the first half, run up the score, and rest them during the second?  Or rest them also, since Cleveland could lose anyway?

I'm still a little nervous because Monroe still murders the C's.

CLE has no one to blame but themselves.  The #1 spot was there or them, they sat Lebron and Kyrie against the Heat, lost in OT.

Or do our usual thing: Go up by 30 and then let Milwaukee score 26 straight points, forcing us to put the starters back in.
