looks like nets pulling it out.

Orlando is going to complain that the team they clobbered (the celts) win the group.
They only beat Chicago by 6 and lost to the Nets by 20 so they don't have much of a complaint

Toronto actively trying to help Brooklyn by taking pointless take fouls.

It's official, BOS advances!

Celtics win Group C and are onto the knockout round of the In-Season Tournament. Boston needed a 23-point win (beat Bulls by 27) and a Nets win by less than 19 points (beat Raptors by 12).

Boston defeats Chicago 124-97 (+27) Brooklyn defeats Toronto 115-103 (+12) The Celtics move to 3-1 in group play, land the biggest point differential in Group C The Celtics are HEADED TO LAS VEGAS for the knockout round

When they draw the tournament groups each year, they should also draw a statistic that will act as the second tiebreaker. Points? Assists? 3P%?
Except they pick the tiebreaker stat out of a hat *after* the games are done.

I know there are reasons for concern about running the starters our there for most of the fourth, but man... I enjoyed the shit out of watching that while tracking the other IST games on my phone. Gave me the same vibe as a tight final day in the Premier League with meaningful title/relegation implications.

Guess one of the benefits of League Pass is I can watch end of Nets now
I just got this thing called the SuperBox 4 Pro, and it's fucking awesome. I should start a thread about it. $250, one time fee, and I have everything. 1,700 channels, every thing you can get on an app, all PPV's, live television, everything on demand any time, every movie imaginable, every episode of every show imaginable...

I'm about to cut the cord on cable, and every app and save like $500+ a month.

Only downside is one box per television (so $250 per television) and there's no real DVR type thing, so it doesn't remember where you finished watching a movie/show, so you have to fast forward to where you fell asleep, etc., but it's pretty fucking great. I get every broadcast of every game, even soccer in other countries and shit.

Update:
So, after all that: If Milwaukee wins, the East quarterfinals will be Knicks at Bucks and Celtics at Pacers If Miami wins, the East quarterfinals will be Bucks at Pacers and Celtics at Knicks.

So if the Bucks win, quarterfinals is Celtics @ Bucks

IF we win and go to semis / finals, do we just have an inequity of home/away games for the season?
