Of course all the games start at 8 est tonight. So hard to play this , I would take miami winning and us losing for that matchup but if we both win and celtics lose that puts us vs Atlanta at 4/5 and I dont want that matchup at all , wish we were not in this poistion but it is what it is.

Avoiding Atlanta isn't as simple as tanking for 6th, because if Boston wins tonight that would vault Atlanta into the 3rd seed.

In a perfect world, we tank and Miami wins, but "unfortunately" I think we win tonight and hope for a Celtics victory to get the Miami matchup at 4-5.

That said, I feel like folks are so reliant on the history against Atlanta they're overrating the difficulty of that present matchup. Would be a tough series, but it's not a LeBron-esque mountain to climb.

The only way we don't play Atlanta is if we lose and Miami beats Boston.

I agree, I would love to knock them out of the playoffs. We shouldn't listen to Bonnell, they're beatable.

So it looks like we are going to have the worst possible scenario (at least the way things sit now).  No home court.  Atlanta as opponent.  Cleveland in Round 2 if we got there.

Ironically by Miami winning it is messing things up for Heat fans as most just want to make sure they get a shot at Lebron.  Weird.

    • Fans are fed up with this organization's endless string of failures. And, while Morgan's less than a year into his current position, everything he's done is barreling down the same path shat out by his predecessor. If we're just pointing out this alarming lack of discrepancy between the performances of two GMs, it's really not hating. He's just proving to not be a good hire. And, hey, it's alright, because whoever Tepper hires next will, at best, only suck a little bit less. I don't mind people who are optimistic and hope Morgan turns out to be better than he's been thus far. That'd be great. None of us are rooting for him to fail. However, the embarrassing pattern of decisions persists. And it's not a good look.
    • You have to view everything that was done in 2024 through the ‘eliminate excuses for Bryce Young’ lens IMO. It only makes sense that way.     If you allow for that, you will see that Diontae fulfilled his purpose.  
    • The Panthers' beat writer called the Johnson trade return "a warm bottle of RC Cola." If you're quick to discount every bit of news that disagrees with your view, maybe your view is the problem. Morgan deals himself a bad hand and he deserves every bit of criticism for it. Fitterer was the worst GM ever, but Morgan is a very similar brand of awful. Certainly when it comes to trades since 2021, Morgan's body of work makes him at best, only one of the worst negotiators in the history of North American professional sports. That's simply pointing out the numerous shortcomings he's put on display. If I point at a guy who shot someone and say "he murdered a guy," I'm not hating on him -- I'm pointing out what he did. If Morgan wants to not be labeled an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better, simply stop being an incompetent clown who makes 31 other franchises better. Or, wait until Tepper makes him the fall guy after Evero.
