So is HCA really out of our grasp?

[HYPE.]

I'm not saying we should tire our players out too much, but I think if we beat Cavs tomorrow [knock on wood), we have a chance to possibly tie and/or get HCA. Hopefully Cavs get upset later in the remaining couple games (as well as the Lakers) and we clinch HCA. Wishful thinking, I suppose. Your thoughts?

Cavs already clinched home court, bud. Sunday's game is looking less & less meaningful.

Yep. Cavs have 64 wins.

We have 60 and 3 games left.

Agh.

Nevermind then. Close this thread please.

I blame this on the Portland game!!! 6 players and they still get the 2 pts. Haha, Cleveland will win one of the next 3 anyhow.

I wouldn't call it meaningless:
It's up to the Celtics to show
that winning in Cleveland is a
thing they'll be able to do.
There's a lot of meaning there!

Blame it on the skid that followed the
loss to the Lakers on Dec. 25.

Hmm.. showing the cavs we can beat them in a meangingless game!! wow how great could that be? 

we need to beat them there in the playoffs for it to have any meaning whatsoever. if the celtics go in there thinking they have to win todays game to send some sort of half assed message and get blown out like they did fully healthy in cleveland earlier this seasons, whats gnna happen? it could give them further motivation or we could fall apart...I personally think winning today would benefit cleveland

I blame it on the cavs being good and winning a ton of close games that couldve gone either way, celtics controlled there own destiny and then
 lost to the lakers twice (fail)   Clippers, Pacers Knicks, Warriors, Blazers without Brandon Roy (get over 6 men on the court and win already!) Bucks without their 2 best players, Bulls ... um thats alot of unnacceptable losses

Well, the last 13 or 14 meetings between
the C's and the Cavs have had the home
team win every time. That's why I think
a win could have a huge psychological
upside. I could be wrong, but who knows?
I'd like a win and I'm sure most people
here agree. Of course, we'd all like a
win or two at the Q in the playoffs but
that kind of goes without saying.
Also, the Cavs are two wins away from
tying the best home record, which WE own.
That's important, at least to me.

And please don't give me the  icon.
I'm not JR Giddens. Thanks.

We agree, but sadly many think we should tank this game because we cant move up in the standings. I posted a topic on this and believe there are more than numbers that contribute to wins in sports. Tp
