IF we go on a run we could easily overtake Cleveland for #1 seed.  We're only 2 games back guys.

Wizards are playing well but as long as we got IT4 we have a chance to win every game down the stretch here.

I say -- We run the table!

Who's with me?

I don't think we can assume a win on the next Wizard game though. We'll be on a back to back and first home after a two game road trip, and the Wizard will have a day's rest.

If we lost to them on next Monday, assuming both teams have won the 3 games before that (which is likely), our record will be 45/26 and theirs 45/25, we'll still have a big advantage with 8 home / 3 road games left, while they have 4 home / 8 road games left. We'll probably lose two games (home vs Cavs and next day road vs Hawks), the wizards have to win more than 8 games in their last 12 to finish better than us, which is pretty much mission impossible.   Unless GSW and Cavs decide to rest their starters at home, or they keep on struggling...

So all we need to do is don't lose to rubbish teams at home.

just an update. washington lost again today. 98 to 93 to the hornets. so they are two full games behind the celtics for second place in the east.

Need to win tomorrow still.

Then is we lose to the Wizards on Monday it isn't nearly as bad.
