anyone else just realize the 6 spot is up for grabs

[GetLucky]

I'll take the 8th spot or the 6th spot.

I don't want any part with LeBron James in the first round if we get to the postseason lol. At least not so early.

Hawks and Raptors/Bulls look beatable to me.

LeBron still has Celtics nightmares. I say bring it on! Give Smart some experience against playoff LeBron!

[MJohnnyboy]

Bring on the Raptors! They are slipping and I think the Celtics could be a nightmare match-up for them! Gotta love all these horribly-timed falls in the Cs favor! The Bucks, Raptors, Wizards. The Celtics have got what it takes! I believe in the C's!

I've heard several people say we're a clear matchup problem for Toronto, but I'm not sure where I see these matchup problems at. Could you please discuss what particular matchups you're referring to?  Because I almost see it as their great backcourt and their more traditionally-minded big man in JV as being a matchup problem for us.

He does?

He scored like 26 points in 27 minutes when the Celts played Cleveland a couple weeks ago.

I agree with the other poster.

If we make the playoffs, I'd rather face either Atlanta or Toronto.

I think we match up relatively well with both teams. I want NO part of Cleveland and Chicago is a bad match-up for the Celtics with their size and shooting.

Would LOVE if we can not only make the playoffs but get the 6th seed.
We are only 4 games behind Milwaukee and play them twice this season.

Surprisingly, though, we've played them extremely tough all year long.

We have and even beat them once, but I just don't like having to face Gasol and Noah in a 7 game series. I feel like Zeller, Bass and Olynyk would get terrorized by those two. Plus, Butler and Brooks can shoot the lights out of the ball.

We would need Isiah, Avery and Marcus to be on their A game and hope we can just outshoot them because we are not going to to beat them in the paint (IMO.)

No, you're right. I definitely don't want to face them over a seven game series. We've done exceptionally well keeping Gasol and Butler in check this season, but I don't trust us to do that every night over a series.

I wasn't really suggesting that LeBron consistently chokes or underperforms us anymore. It was more of a playful, why-the-heck-not type of thing. If we're in the playoffs, let's have fun and trash talk the other team. I was still riding the high of the 5-game wininng streak

Unless we somehow get Toronto in the first round, I would rather just try our hardest from the 8th seed against Atlanta. Cleveland and Chicago are terrible match-ups for us and at least at #8 we get the 15th selection in the draft. Also, if we somehow miraculously beat Atl, we would still avoid Cle in the 2nd round...

Completely agree tp

We better turn-off the air-condition if we face the Cavs.

[LarBrd33]

3-way tie for 7-9 right now.

Sixers fan, but that's a TP lol.

[Kane3387]

Rather play Atlanta then cleveland. Plus getting the 8th seed gets you a better pick.

[celticsclay]

The bucks lost again last night. We have picked up an astonishing 5 games on them in the last 10 and now sit only 3 back them of them. I also believe we play them twice. I don't think we are at the point right now where we can start nit picking who the Celtics would play. With as far as they have come I would just like to see them in the playoffs and the more avenues that open up for them to do that the better.
