Re: Magic Numbers
as long as 76ers end up against bucks in 2nd round as the most likely outcome i can live with it
a raptors/celtics playoff series has been long overdue - and without a true home court advantage (boston gets a looooot of cookin' in the garden) it will be a fun one

Re: Magic Numbers
Those are still a lot of games to clinch 2nd when you look at our brutal schedule.

Celtics have Portland and the Heat next - Both teams will be motivated to beat the Celts

I agree. I think we beat the Celtics in 5/6 while the Heat might be 6/7.
The main reason is the Heat could take out the Bucks for us. Bucks are 0-2 vs Miami.

While I love Bam and Butler, the rest of the Heat roster is so unproven. Celtics have more guys that scare you in the playoffs with shorter rotations.
I do think Bam is the best match against Giannis in the NBA so that could be an interesting series.

I'd rather the Bucks play the Heat after having to take down the Sixers in the first round with the Celtics playing the Pacers. Let's get ourselves a RAPS IN 4 in round one.

Tough schedule or not if we fail to hold second that means we aren't playing very good basketball and in that case not going anywhere in the playoffs anyways.

Re: Magic Numbers
Well, with the Celtics's win today, it looks like the Raptors-Celtics game will be one that matters - or at least that 2nd seed won't be decided before the game.
