Who do you guys think will win these games?  
Who do you want to win?

I actually want a split.

The potential for a 3 way tie giving the Hawks the tie breaker makes things a little more complicated, but that leaves too much up to chance. As much as it pains me to do this, I have to back the Celtics. The Knicks vs Clippers is an obvious choice. This day/weekend is HUGE for the Hawks and they haven't even played a game.

So far it looks like Boston can’t handle Miami.  Advantage to Miami winning is it makes the three way tie more likely.  In that case we don’t have to pass the Knicks.  
If today ends in a three way tie, there’s a real chance each team goes 3-1 the rest of the way.

Boston looks like bootay!

This game reminds me of our loss against the Pacers. They waited until midway through the 3rd quarter to actually play.

Running it back tonight. Go Celts! Ugh excuse me as I have to wash up now. I don’t believe I’ve ever uttered those words.

I stand corrected..No way I can root for the Knicks..lol

I still dont understand why we need the Knicks to win if the Celtics lose..Boston could only get to 38 wins with a loss. We're already at 38 and own the tiebreaker..But oh well..lol

Miami is just coached far better and their players have much better makeup.  I hate Jimmy had to leave this game but he should be fine.  Even Ded out there eating.

Celtics in free fall.  I wanted Miami to lose, but I’m still enjoying how bad the Celtics are playing.

Dragic is so fun to watch when he’s on his BS.  He’s so unique his closest comp per The Reference is Jose Calderon, which really isn’t a comp.  I was surprised to see one of my favs Ron Harper on the list.

This is when Boston starts to play.  When they can’t come back!

Whoever thought a team with 2 "all-stars", a max player, a supposed all-defensive player,, and a supposed HOF coach would probably be better off tanking.

Dallas out here getting molly whopped by Memphis.  This going to get really interesting for the 4, 5, 6 in the west.

If the Lakers come through, Atlanta will be the fourth seed by the end of the night.

Nah, would have been better for us if the Schmelts won. Be that as it may, we need to focus on ourselves. Go Lakers.

That 3 way scenario is a total mind screw. Such a weird quirk
