With the Nets loss we're in the playoffs now no matter what!

Look out Cavs and/or Hawks!

Don't be a bunch of chickens, let's go and dethrone the Queen.

Only reason I'd want Atlanta is just to have a better draft pick, otherwise, bring LeBrona on.

Count me in too.

Isn't this wonderful?  This year's team is turning into one of my all time favorites.

no rest for anyone.  this team isn't near good enough to coast into the playoffs.  need to keep playing to win if there's any hope of keeping the first round respectable

What a surprisingly fun season it's been. Don't care who the first round opponent is, we're playing with house money now and we're playing good basketball - let's see how far we can ride it!

It might not matter. Raptors could very well beat us tomorrow even if we're trying to win. Then if Indy won it'd come down to one game against MIL for us and MEM for Indy. At that point I definitely say rest everyone and go full out for number 8. It helps the draft and gives us a better chance at giving a team a competitive first round.

Stevens is not an idiot....so don't count on him not 'playing the game'.  The team has all the analytics they need to decide which team they would play best against.

Personally, I would rather play the second half of the season Cavaliers than the 1st half of the season Hawks.  The Hawks were scary good on defense when we played them in January(?).  And, we had no answers to their offensive sets either. 

Realistically, we don't know if Atlanta just coasted most the 2nd half or not.  So, I'm not getting my hopes on beating either team.  If we win one game that would be great!

We have a bunch of young players that don't need rest. Play to win and let everything else take care of itself.

I wouldn't mind if the C's lost the next two for the 8th seed but if they face CLE so be it. They are underdogs regardless. CBS is the man.

I'm actually all for the Celtics taking it easy for these next few nights not just because I prefer Atlanta over Cleveland but because Indiana would give the Cavs some problems, especially if Paul George continues to round back into game shape.

Plus I really want to see a lineup of Pressey, Young, Wallace, Gigi, and Babb!
