Milwaukee beat Philadelphia, so while a couple of things can technically still move around, it looks like the top 6 in the East is set. That means the Miami Heat could easily be Boston’s first round opponent. John Karalis of Boston Sports Journal breaks it all down and then discusses an impressive win over Utah that featured a monster Jayson Tatum performance in a game he was supposed to sit out if the team plan had gotten back in time. Plus, Malcolm Brogdon’s underrated impact, and Blake Griffin’s energy that will probably win Boston a playoff game down the road.

No audio my boy 😢
Best Celtics analyst on YT.
Tell you what – if JT has his stroke back ain't gonna matter what seed ANYONE finishes at. 8-10 from 3 against Bucks – 5-8 from 3 last night against the Jazz. That's 2 nights in a row of efficient shooting from JT. When JT is efficient and economical w his long range shooting it opens EVERYTHING up both for him and for the team. He's been up and down all season w his long range shooting – more down than up. Below his career averages and way streakier. But last two nights he looks more on par – which in JT's case puts him in MVP territory and puts Celtics on inside track
I think ideally if the Bucks are a lock for 1, we just secure homecourt against Denver then we can rest the guys.
“screamin like KG holdin the Larry O’B… ANYTHING’S POSSIIIBBBBLLLLEEEE!!!!”
Nothing surprises me anymore. It’s like a role of the dice with these guys. Wins against Milwaukee and Utah were encouraging but I’m still leery. Thanks John and great segment with Duke on WCVB tonight. 🙏🏻☘️🔒

Lol. Content and confident going to Milwaukee after beating Milwaukee when Milwaukee played 5 of last 7 days including a west coast back to back and playing the night before the Celtics game? Ok then…
A thought. with the Cavs being 3 games behind Philly if we are able to pull of a win on Tuesday. would you rather see the Cavs over take the 3rd seed and hopefully face them in the second round so that Bucks and Sixers can slaughter each other? the negative of that is that we only won one meeting against the Cavs? and the chances of the Cavs over taking the 3rd seed even possible really?
I do listen (almost) every day John, thanks. I have a reqest: if possible, more Chad Finn. Maybe once a month?
I know Miami has Bam and Jimmy. Still, that is NOT the team we've known these years. I think they'd be a harder-than-it-should-be challenge in the 1st round (yes, a Max Struss Game. Exactly), but no, I'm not scared. On the other hand, I wouldn't mind beating them into a pulp one more time either….
