The 1 seed is there for the taking if they want it bad enough.

Our remaining game against Cleveland will be huge.  Win that and we have a really good chance at the #1 seed (especially since the second tiebreaker is conference record and we should be only behind by 1 game (2 losses) on that after tonight)

If you want to avoid Toronto for a possible playoff battle, then you need to hope Washington wins tonight.

And ofc, I want Cleveland to lose.

I want Washington to lose because I think we have a good shot at taking the 1 seed, so we'd need Washington in 4th to play them in the 2nd round

Boy, this Denver team is going to be a force in the next couple of years. I'm glad they're in the West.

It also helps to have such a huge HCA with the elevation, too.

If by some miracle the C's get #1 seed, it has to help give IT some consideration for MVP.  Still think Harden, Westbrook or Kawai will win it though.

Not if we're the 1 seed.

Or the Atlanta Hawks should they stun the Wizards in the first-round lol. Then again, the Celtics need to take care of business in round 1. They've been first-round exits in their past two postseason entries.

Would Cavs vs. Toronto and Boston vs. Washington be the most favorable 2nd round matchups barring any 1st round upsets?

Denver is going to be a top 4 team in the west by next year. Heard it here first. Jokic is the best big in the nba

They are an upgrade from Jameer Nelson at point guard away from being scary good. You know what also makes them scarier? They are going to have oodles of cap space this summer. I 100% expect them to go hard after George Hill and Jeff Teague this summer. If they go after defensive-minded bigs this summer (a possibility because Jokic's defense isn't very good), I wouldn't be surprised if they go after Amir Johnson.

Definitely some interesting numbers. I like the 55% chance of getting the top seed from the Cs side, but I question the 3% at winning the championship from Cleveland's side...and we are at 7%.
