Rest everyone these last two games before the play in


More accurately, by losing today, BOTH the Hornets AND the Pacers lost their chance to pass us.

We are locked into the 7 seed & home court for the Play In - in spite of a putrid season & a megs mega putrid stretch run.

With 2 games left, the Hornets (most likely) will be our opponent in the 7 VS 8 game (?probably with GH back?). However, the Pacers & the Wizards BOTH still have a pathway to the 8 seed.

I have no confidence in this team any longer. We are currently playing just about the worst ball in the NBA.

If we miraculously survive the Play In - it currently looks like the Nets who will blast us in Round 1.

Obviously, our last 2 games are irrelevant.
It would be nice to finish above 0.500.
It would be nice to finish on an upbeat note with no further injuries & w JT & EF & Kemba stroking it well & w dramatic improvement in Team D/intensity.

We potentially end the season 4-11 in our last 15 games and still end up as the 7th seed. The East is just pathetic lol.

I read GH is out for the play in game. Celtics are going to look great that game and win by 25 and their reward is playing Brooklyn in round 1.

Yeah...this squad is not making it out of the play in tournament

yeah.... sarcasm.


Take seeding out of this and look at the rosters as they are. The Celtics have Marcus Smart Tatum and Kemba. Smart takes shots at will and Kemba is inconsistent. Why is it so hard to believe that a team without Jaylen that has trouble against Cleveland would be bounced?

Dude, you are totally missing my "joke". I was saying it sarcastically. As in, with our *** luck we'll somehow hit a string of injured teams and make the ECF and everyone will think the team is fine and we won't make any improvements in the offseason. I don't expect that to happen. Or want it to. It's the worst case scenario. Gallows "humor".

Either get bounced in the play in or get humiliated by Brooklyn in an ironic dose of karma. Should be an eventful end to the season at least.

They are not missing the playoffs. Celtics will beat Charlotte by 20, get the 7th seed and end up getting embarrassed by Brooklyn in 4 games.

Losing the first play in game and trying to 'playoff tank' for the Sixers is the absolute no brainer choice here. Not only are we 8-1 in the playoffs against those guys(different teams sure) but you avoid playing the toughest superstar trio ever assembled on an NBA team. Give me Embiid over Irving, Harden, Durant any day. I'd rather be eliminated full stop over playing Brooklyn.

You do realize that Charlotte plays Washington tomorrow for the 8th seed. Boston will likely face Washington

Simple.
We play the winner of the Hornets VS Wizards today.

Ok but if they lose to the wizards will it really matter because they will have to lose again to either pacers(who have no desire to be In the playoffs) or the hornets without Hayward.

Just not seeing them losing both games.

What? Hayward unavailable? Who woulda thunk it?

Now that they've blown their chance at the lottery, I want the Celtics to rise up from the ashes and eliminate the Nets. It would be almost as good as winning a championship.

I have no faith in this team beating Washington. I wouldn’t be surprised if the lost to both Wash and Indy, end up with the 13th pick and draft another project wing that will disappoint. This season......
