If Boston beats Miami they will be either the 4th or 5th seed.  Boston will be 4th facing Miami 5th if Atlanta wins.  If Atlanta loses then Miami wins the tie breaker by winning the division and this gives Atlanta the 4th seed and Boston the 5th.

If Boston loses to Miami then Miami gets the 3rd seed.  The Atlanta outcome does not matter then and Atlanta is the 4th seed.  Boston is then 5th facing Atlanta if Charlotte loses, or 6th facing Miami if Charlotte wins.

The only way Boston gets home court is if Atlanta wins and Boston wins.

"If Boston beats Miami they will be either the 4th or 5th seed.  Boston will be 4th facing Miami 5th if Atlanta wins." BUT not if Charlotte loses, in that case Boston will be 4th and Charlotte will be 5th

Credit some guy on Reddit. This is assuming Miami would win last night against detroit (which they did).

So in these circumstances we can't play Charlotte at all? Is the picture even accurate?
I could very well see the Hawks... starting Taurean Prince at the 3, who is already better than Crowder, imo.

the second from the left result is incorrect, if orlando wins we play charlotte not Miami with HCA (which i wish wasn't the case as I already have game tickets for miami series and one flight based on us playing them game 1 and 2  and  another flight if we play them game 3 and 4. although i'm a celtics season ticket holder and going to games here as well )

If Charlotte loses they are the 6th seed period.  They will only have 47 wins and can only tie Boston if Boston loses.  In this scenario Boston wins the tie breaker and will be the 5th seed against the hawks 4th seed.

I did leave 1 scenario out of my post though.  If Atlanta, Boston and Charlotte all win. This results in a 3 way tie between Bos., Mia. and Cha.

Atlanta    49-33
Boston    48-34
Charlotte 48-34
Miami      48-34

Miami gets the 6 seed based on head to head games between the 3 teams.  Boston 5-1, Charlotte 3-4 and Miami 2-5.  The reddit post above is incorrect and hard to read.  Crazy ending to the season with only 2 of 8 playoff series decided going into the last day.

I realize the Reddit picture I got and posted is incorrect. Sorry about that guys.

SB Nation has a cool simulator though, which goes through game by game:

Miami went from No.6 seed and playing the Hawks to No.3 seed and playing Charlotte with that Atlanta loss... this is absolutely ridiculous...

Do you think Atlanta lost on purpose so that they didn't have to face Miami in the 1st round? Man, I really hate this Hawks team... >:(

Did Atlanta tank on purpose to face the Celtics, the "easier" opponent?

IMHO, the mods should unpin this post now that the new season has started.
