Atlanta winning would end the dream of the 3rd seed. C's need to win a round in playoffs and not worry about who they play in the 2nd round.

So with the Heat winning tonight the Celtics are basically playing them tomorrow for home court and the 4th seed??

Yep, we own the tiebreaker...thanks to last night's performance, home court now relies on a win tomorrow. Better show up

On Twitter the beat reporters are saying not just a Celtics win but a Hawks win as well would give us the 4th seed is that right? Or just a Celtics win?

I don't see how. We need to beat the Heat. If we win and the Hawks lose, we'll have identical records with the Hawks and Heat. Hawks own the tiebreaker over us and we own it over the Heat so we'd be 4th in that scenario.

Here's how it basically plays out as far as I know with tiebreakers

We win, Heat lose = 4th seed

We lose, Heat win, Charlotte loses = 5th

We lose, Heat win, Charlotte wins = 6th

Celtics lose tomorrow
Atlanta lose tomorrow
Charlotte win tomorrow

Heat 3rd v Celtics 6th

that is another posibility

Is third place still possible if ATL loses and we beat Miami??

Wholly cow next game is like the biggest game of the year for all of these teams. It has come to this

If Atlanta loses I believe in a 3 or 4 team tiebreaker division champ comes into play.

A Hawks win or a Hawks loss? If the Hawks win, it means nothing to us. If they lose, Miami>Atlanta>Boston because Miami won their division (Miami>Hawks in a tie breaker.).

If ATL loses and we win, 3 teams are 48-34 (assuming the Hornets lose; if Hornets win and we lose, we're 6; we own the tie breaker over Charlotte if we both win.).

That is not a good scenario for us. Miami wins the division and ATL>us. Miami owns the tie breaker over ATL.
