We are going into our final full week of the NBA Regular Season. The Celtics have 5 games left and know they will be seeing some action in the NBA Playoffs the only question is will their NBA Playoff path start with a 1st round best of 7 playoff series via the 3/6 or 4/5 match or will they end up in a play in tournament knowing that their reward for winning that tournament is a playoff series with either the #1 seed or #2 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics now sit at 35-32 and 7th in the Eastern Conference which is the top spot in that play in tournament but the Celtics are just 1 game back of the 6th seeded Miami Heat for the last spot that guarantees that you avoid that play in tournament and get a 1st round best of 7 matchup with 2 games against the Heat schedule this upcoming week. Literally the next 2 games for the Boston Celtics which will be home games for the Celtics against the Miami Heat could very well determine the Celtics entire playoff path depending on what happens also with the New York Knicks as well as the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets in the next week. The Celtics are still within shouting distance of the Knicks and Hawks who occupy the 4th and 5th seeds however only the #1 seed appears to be set in stone with the 76ers. The Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets are tied with 5 games to go for the 2nd and 3rd seeds meaning if Celtics fans want a specific 1st round matchup theres almost no way to know which seed to grab to guarantee it at this point. We will discuss all of it and te scenarios as well as whats the latest on the teams health and state of mind so close to the Playoffs as we will be joined by Rich Conte (@Richconte on twitter) Producer and Host of the TechLifePod Podcast.
