Which would have seemed less likely at the beginning of the year: Brooklyn has the worst record and we get the #1 lottery slot, or we end up with the #1 seed in the conference?

I'd have voted that us having the #1 seed would be less likely.  I fully expected CLE and TOR to be ahead of us.  Glad I'm wrong on TOR, but CLE remains to be seen.

I was 99% sure BKN would be a bottom 3 team, and could easily be in contention for the worst team.  They didn't have a good offseason at all.

Al with the loud block for the finishing touch! Great win! Tied in the standings for first, baby!!

Not to rain on the parade, but Boston is still behind Cleveland by winning percentage.  If the season ended today, we'd be #2.

Man, go..................................AWAY.......................

Very good win against a hot team.  Overcame a sluggish first half to pull this one out. 

Keep winning.  If we do, we'll like where we are when the regular season ends.

Refs kept gift-wrapping points to Jones--and Mungo Jerry went off on us...BUT, C's manned up.

Yeah, sure, technically, since they've played two fewer games than us, but we're still tied with them in the standings in games back. Once they catch up to us in the amount of games they've played later in the year, I'm pretty confident that we'll be up on them by at least a game.

i really liked how the defense tightened up towards the end. the problem, remains, getting reliable scoring off the bench.

Oh this is easy for me.

I thought there was basically 0 chance we get the 1 seed.

I didnt expect Brooklyn to have the worst record, but it seemed very possible for them to have it. They were clearly the least talented team in the league.

I like how the C's are winning the games they should win. Hard fought win against a Miami team that will not quit. 

Wouldn't it be something if we're seated number one in the east.

Real nice win!

Miami is a team I do not want to see the Celtics play unless it is for the ECF.

What would it cost to trade for Tyler Johnson? Dude kills us ever time we play the Heat.
