For the Celtics, I see them going 8-1 over this stretch and Atlanta going 6-3. So hopefully the Celtics can lock up the 3rd seed because it would be a shame to face the Cavs in just the second round!

Neither Boston or Atlanta have lots of tough games coming up as we face a top team only once (Cavs) and Atlanta faces the Cavs twice and Lakers once. The rest of the games are all winnable for both teams.




Lets Go Celtics!!!

Our second game with the Bucks is at home.

I don't believe the Celtics will go 8-1 in this stretch. They will be lucky to go 7-2. OKC, the Cavs and the Bucks (twice) represent 4 tough games. My guess will be 6-3 for the Celtics because they may rest some players for a game or two.

The Hawks also have 4 tough games, LAL, the Bucks and the Cavs (twice). I think they have a tougher 4 games than the Celtics, but I will still go with your guess of 6-3.

It comes down to the tie breaker, which the Celtics own.

8-1
The stuff dreams are made of

I'd tend to take 5-4 at this point! And hope for anything better than that.

Hi,
I'd go with 7-2. 2 are either Cle or Hou and Bucks.
But at this point the results of each individual game don't matter as long as Celtics play tough for all 48 minutes.
