Bucks clinched due to their tiebreaker over Toronto. Celtics own the tiebreaker over Indiana so one Celtic win or Pacer loss clinches home court for Boston.

I didn't know that about Toronto too bad we're playing Indiana haha. Indiana definitely won't sit players then since we play them tomorrow and Boston plays Orlando. It'll come down to that last game.

Actually, if anybody winds up in a 3 team tie with Orlando, they get in because they’d be a division winner. Perks of playing in a terrible division.

Regardless of the outcome this season has been a success with them winning 11 more games than last. If they make the same improvement on wins next year they'll be a 50 win team. :clap:

Listen man, if we have the misfortune of playing the Bucks we would be lucky to not be blown out in 4 straight games, nevermind advancing :lol:

We need to try to catch Orlando if anything for that 6th seed. The Magic leapfrogged both us and Detroit, and deservedly so. They're playing fantastic basketball while everyone else is stinking up the gym.

Bucks not resting anyone tonight as I suspected.

Been fun while it lasted boys...

Giannis is not playing. No excuses now. This is winnable.

MIddleton on a minutes limit according to Rotoworld as well

Playoffs looking good for us now. Really just need to win one of the next 2 games which I think is doable.

Pacers not playing well, Bojan has cooled off. Heat have to beat the Raptors who even without Kawhi have been great this year.

Even then we have Miami on our home court.

Miami has to win both games to make the playoffs I think Brooklyn's in.

Worst tiebreaker rule is the division winner benefit. Even though we own both head to heads vs Detroit and Orlando, Orlando gets the tiebreaker in a 3 team tie.

Give me one more game Nets. I asked for 3, they've got two so far. One more.

If the Heat lose both games(very likely), the nets are in before the Wednesday game. I don't think Hornets will win all the games remaining.

It'd be pretty sweet for them to beat Detroit and Orlando. That'd give us a real shot at the 6th seed. I mean choosing between Philly, Toronto and Milwaukee is still pick your poison, especially with the additions of Harris and Lin/Gasol. It's going to be tough to steal games from any of them.

Hope you make the playoffs, if it's not at our expense. I think if Miami and Charlotte lose tonight the Magic are locked in before they even tip off against the Celtics

LOL...my thoughts exactly.

I would strongly prefer to play Philly in the First Round but I'll take what we can get.

Anything but Milwaukee.

I feel so dirty hoping for a Raptors win

Heat lose again. A win tonight clinches a playoff seed.

Lets get it done boys.

Raptors won despite best efforts of the bloodthirsty Men in Gray. Looks to me that the NBE wants Miami in.
