Are we still the worst #1 seed in NBA History LOL?

we are certainly one of the worst in recent memory.

That's true.

Agreed. We are very lucky Rondo wasn't here to torch our guards.

Rondo or not, Im just glad we aren't getting swept. That could be the most embarrassing moment in Celtics history.

Yeah. Glad this team played with urgency the last two games.

Games 1-2 were summed up by Rondo: "They (C's) gave up"

You guys aren't Celtic fans.

We just won two in the road, after our leader battled through a brutal family loss to put on one of the all time classic games, and you're still complaining. Embarrassing.

Yeah, you're right. This is the hater section of the internet. Rondo is a difference maker, no doubt. The Celtics looked bad in game 1 and even worse in game 2. 

On the other hand, they've looked really good through two games in a row. And they've been fun to watch!

I like the guys on this team and think they can get to the ECF. I also thought this a week ago and the week before that. Two bad games won't tip over my green canoe. Let's go Celtics!

I don't get all this "worst #1 seed ever" as a criticism against the Celtics. If we're actually the worst #1 seed ever, then shame on Cavs, Raptors and Wizards that couldn't end up above us in the standings.

Or another way to look at it would be this: Forget our position in the standings and ask yourself "How do I feel about this team winning 53 games?". Me? I feel really good about it. If we ended up with the fourth seed, then we would be "the best fourth seed ever"?.

Just forget about that and enjoy the ride. This team had a great regular season and is 2-2 in the first round, has a great pick coming up and some decent cap space. Life is good.

Exactly.  Still the #1 seed.

I mean, the Celts are a weak #1 seed.  But they're still about the same caliber as a #2 or #3 seed most years.

It's just that the #1 team in the East took a vacation from playing defense in the second half of the season.

I would say that we are the least top heavy No.1 seed since the Pistons. (were they top seeds that year the swept the 'Kobe Ring chasing club' Lakers?)
