After 3: Knicks 80, Hornets 66. As of now, it'll be Knicks at Bucks and Celtics at Pacers in the quarterfinals, but this is going to go right down to the end tonight Current point differentials: Knicks: plus-32 Celtics: plus-30 Magic: plus-22 Cavaliers: plus-18 Nets: plus-12

If the Celtics win by 23+ and the Nets win, the Celtics advance. If the Nets lose, the Celtics need to have a higher point differential than other 3-1 teams that didn’t win their group. If Miami wins a close game, that means beating the Bucks, who currently sit at +39. If the Bucks win, it means beating the Knicks, who sit at +18. Thus, 39 is the magic number for controlling their destiny.
So if the Nets hang on, it takes the H2H loss to Orlando off the table which helps the Celtics. Got it.
Knicks are also up 14 right now, so the Celtics path absent a Nets win is going to require something around 40 points and if the Knicks win by 21+ the 39 number above goes up.
Hahahaha, Hauser's reaction just made my laugh my ass off. He looked like me if I ever got a put back dunk in high school that wasn't a tennis ball.
I have no idea how the White foul was a shooting foul. Because he said he was shooting?
I'm the opposite, love this. I'm never going to complain about the Celtics playing too hard.
Celtics will win the third tiebreak against Orlando or the Knicks, so they need to be +22 (not +23) to beat Orlando and tie whatever the pt differential ends up being for NYK.
It’s weird and against everything I k ow to be rooting for a Nets win. What a reversal of fortunes
Bulls crew promoting quarters won as an alternative to point differential, which makes a lot of sense for adjusting to the different scoring nature of basketball v. soccer.
