Celtics are heavily underdogs as a #2 seed.

If they are to face John Wall and the #7 seed Wizards, I am expecting an "us against the world" mentality, the Celtics being "us".

Things couldn't have turned out better for the Cavs and worse for us. Looks like we will play Washington in the 1st round. The Cavs will face Miami in a laugher they should win 4 straight without breaking a sweat. Then the Cavs drooling will be waiting for the eventual survivor of the BOS/WAS series and maybe lose one game to either before they meet the Raptors. The Raptors will fall like a prom girl's prom dress and probably lose 4 straight and prove they are no different this year than last (just a better regular season). Cavs will then meet whoever in the Championship and will make it a series but go down 4-2. Depressing turn of events especially that the Cavs will get to meet Miami in round 1.

I don’t understand why anyone would want to face the Wizards! They are the same team that took us to 7 games last year.

Don’t care. Not winning any series

Boston will probably be underdogs no matter who they face. But If they are going to lose no matter who they face, though, I'd really rather it not be Washington.

Screw that team, that city, and all their fans. They're all a bunch of low life scumbags.

I can't believe I cheered for them in that playoff run while Paul Pierce was in that jersey (after the C's got swept). I would've love to see them take out that #1-seeded Hawks team and watch another PP34 vs LBJ duel in the ECF.

Now they're dirty. And trash.

I'm just wondering who's gonna play against Bulls, since Tatum Brown and Horford have been officialy put on rest status.

Who would you rather face in the 1st round? Heat vs Bucks vs Wiz (poll)

Celtics can manipulate who they can face, especially vs Wiz in the last game of the season

These three teams are neck to neck

IF the Celts rest the starters on purpose  vs Wiz and lose, Wiz could lock in the 7th place

IF the Celts put the best out vs Wiz and beat them, could be facing the Buck or Heat instead

Who would you rather face in the 1st round, giving this unit the best chance to get into the 2nd round?

Other teams are going to be manipulating themselves to face the Celtics.

It’s starting to look like we will face the Greek Freak and the bucks in the first round. We do however play the wizards soon and that might change things

We can beat the Bucks I believe in a six or seven game series. It will be an all out team effort. Stop the freak, and the rest will follow- so easy  ;D Will Brown be the one put in charge of that task? Monroe could give his old team fits as well. Big Al should have an impact on this series.

I think the Wiz could give the Raptors a ton of trouble as well. I am not sure I would want that upset as right now, that would give the Cavs home field in that bracket. If any team can get hot in the East, they could end up in the finals. All bets are off!
