2 seed is ours if we beat Chicago.

[jdz101]

After the Miami loss to Milwaukee tonight, if we beat chicago, that puts us a game ahead with the only other challenging opponent to play being Miami. Even if we lose to Miami and win the other games we have the tiebreaker over them anyway.

This is good news considering Philly have moved into 7th behind new York.

If we actually manage to finish the season behind Miami I will be utterly embarrassed.

valid considering all the losses to non-playoff teams late in the season.

Hopefully the guys realize the importance of these two games (back to backs... eek) against Washington this week. I think we'll take care of them easily though, they're playing a bunch of rookies and d-leaguers right now, our second unit could literally take them to school

[jdz101]

Washington just conceded 136 to indiana, so we should be ok in those games. Back to back or not.

not really valid considering the trade, our injuries and age...

Excuses but thats  behind us now. Its almost Playoffs time. A lot of great match-ups to look forward to: DEN/OKC, DAL/POR, MIA/NYK, BOS/PHI, ORL/ATL............

let's get that 2 seed!!! NY just beat Philly and i think they're gonna keep that 6th spot. i want Philly in the first round (given their plethora of injuries. sorry sixer fans) and still have HCA in the 2nd round even if it's gotta be against the Heat

I'm extremely confident we'll beat the heat with home court.

WAS is currently fielding a B team so we should beat them easily even if they are back to backs and let down games after CHI and MIA.  Nick Young, Rashard Lewis, Josh Howard, and a few other lesser players are done for the year with injuires.

I feel the same way even without it.

WAS should be an easy win. Just imagine, Danny was about to acquire Josh Howard at the trade deadline. Celtics dodged a bullet there

same here, but i think bench players (in general) play better when they're at home. i think having HCA would allow the starters more rest overall

This is where the Celtics have to be careful... Beating a B-team...

really we're likely the 2 seed if we beat Miami even if we lose both of the upcoming games it'd put us in position to claim it by winning out.
