Utah Jazz 7-point favorites at Oracle Arena tonight.

Cr-A-zy.

But that's to be expected when you're missing four of your five starters.

A new wild-card scenario that would be a nightmare for Celtics fans...Washington Wizards falling to #7 seed, get John Wall back and face the #2 seeded Boston Celtics in Round 1 without Kyrie Irving and Marcus Smart.

And the Wizards have beaten the Celtics at the Garden both times this year.

That is the worst-case scenario opponent and one who I'd prefer to avoid until later in the postseason.

I’ve come to terms with the fact that nothing will really be clear until the final four games of the season

I hope he misses his only shot and we can all laugh about what a ripoff the trade was.

They haven't been very good without Wall that's for sure (which is strange because they have talent) is Scott Brooks not a good coach?
ok fine

To be honest, I don't like the idea of facing the Bucks either. The Greek Freak could go off and I'm not sure we'll be able to keep up offensively w/o Kyrie and Smart over the course of a series (Rozier, Tatum and Morris will have to step up BIG time every game).

I'd much rather face MIA first round, but unfortunately it's looking more and more likely we'll be playing WAS or MIL first round.

If Philly keeps this pace up, they're going to have a really good shot of knocking Cleveland out of that 3 spot.

Cavaliers also play Philly once more before season ends. If PHI wins that game, I think the chances they get 3 seed are very high so long as they keep it rolling.

Yep. That game is both in Philly and on the second night of a back to back for Cleveland after playing Washington the night before, too. Good chance that Philly takes that one, and as long as they beat the other tanking teams that they should, they should have a clear path to the 3 seed, which bodes much better for us than a potential Cleveland matchup in the second round.

Really hope we play MIA in the 1st round. MUCH rather them than Washington or Milwaukee to be honest.
