We should root for Washington. If the Celtics go 5-4, the Wizards would need to go 8-2 to tie our record (and we'd probably win the tiebreakers but it's not a given). For starters, Washington is not going 8-2 with the rest of their schedule (consecutive games at the Clippers, Jazz, and Warriors next week, and only 2 home games remaining). And a) we should probably finish better than 5-4, and b) if we don't, we didn't deserve the #2 seed anyway.
