Boston legitimately 4th seed

[vjcsmoke]

Legitimate 4th seed in the same way someone legitimately volunteers because everyone else in the line takes a step back.

TP for Truth!!

[D.o.s.]

A) Fourth best record=fourth best seed.

B) Best seed in the division = fourth best seed.


Option A is probably "more legitimate" than option B.

However.

Having a losing record while still winning the division is probably better described as "a statistical anomaly" than "a statistical fluke," if you want to get your thesaurus on.

I'm starting to buy into this "winning" thing, however, the 19th and 20th picks are the most depressing thing I've read in a while. People drinkingthe Kool aid make these comments like Rondo at 20 Sully, Bradley etc. and then have the audacity to think Kevin Love will magically arive on our doorstep.

First- there is no guarantee that we will have luck in the Draft regardless of the pick, but everyone knows our chances are a lot higher if we at least get in that elusive "8-10" range.

Secondly- Kevin Love is not walking through that door without at least one more superstar beyond Rondo, and I don't see Asik or the diamond in the rough that magically slips to us at 19/20 being that guy.

I do think- that an Asik trade actually sets us back a step as he won't replace the production that we'll lose (if it's bass & lee) so I'm actually warming to this Luke warm player.

Basically, a win - win for me would be continued success and still cracking at least the top ten picks. Maybe I'm a dreamer

Here is my favorite Atlantic Division stat right now: the second place team is the 9-14 Raptors, who are 0-10 vs teams that are above .500.  I'm pretty sure we're going to be a four seed no matter what now.  We'll probably even make the second round
