The postseason is quickly approaching for the Boston Celtics and the 19 other teams who will either be qualifying for the postseason play-in tournament or for the playoffs outright.
Momentum is building in Beantown as the Cs have climbed out of the #7 seed and the need to win a matchup against the #8 seed–or the #9 or #10 seed if they can’t win that one–to be a participant in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
Currently tied with the Heat but ahead in the standings courtesy of a tiebreaker, Boston has the opportunity to keep pace tonight against the Chicago Bulls and fully seize the #6 seed (or higher) with a series sweep against Miami.
