So the Celtics are tied for the #1 seed after tonight's win.

And the Cavaliers visit the San Antonio Spurs on Monday. I think the Spurs need to play for the #1 seed in the West.

I'll be thrilled if the Cavs do find a way to win in one of the most hostile environments in the league. Which is possible, because LeBron is itching to beat Gregg Popovich and Kawhi Leonard given their history against each other. Plus, their last meeting was an OT loss at the Q.

I'd rather see the C's in the 2nd (or even 3rd) seed, if it put us out of the Toronto bracket. Though it looks like Toronto is now making a play for 3, which would make the top seed preferable.

You have to wonder if they end up tanking a couple of games toward the end to stay in the fourth seed and avoid Cleveland as long as possible.

Who are we going for in this Miami/Detroit game? Detroit right? I do not want any part of Miami. They are on a run right now looks like they are gonna win this one.

With Indiana losing tonight its actually better to root for MIA. The Heat owns the tiebreaker with Indiana 2-1 and if they win they will only be 1 game back in the loss column.

A win by the Lakers tonight over the Wizards would be huge for both our playoff seeding and our Nets pick. I gotta suck it up and route for the Lakers tonight

Nope, Miami with a last second tip in by Whiteside to win it!

Yeah, I want Miami in 7th for the Cavs in the first round. They'll have a lot of fun with that scrappy group. Give me the future Celtic Paul George and the Pacers in the first round!

I'd love Indiana in the first round, but I think it's going to be Miami and Atlanta competing for 7th and 8th.  If Atlanta is without Millsap, bring them on, but if he's playing, I'd much prefer Miami.

Washington down 9 in the 3rd quarter to the Lakers.  That'd be a double win.

Washington down 12 going into the 4th. This would be an absolutely devastating loss with three tough road games coming up. They'd almost assuredly be in 4th the rest of the way to the playoffs, which is ideal for us if we can manage to stay in the first seed.

Good Lord, the Lakers are plain awful. It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion with them choking up this big lead.

This is the best case scenario. Miami is only 1 game behind Indy and 2 games behind Milwaukee and Atlanta. A tight race at the bottom.
