ESPN's BPI Model currently projects the Celtics, 76ers, Bucks, & Heat all finishing the season at 51-31 in a 4-way tie for the 1st seed
Correction: The tiebreaker would first apply to the division, so 76ers vs Celtics. They are 2-2 against each other, so it would go to division record, with Celtics at 9-7 & the 76ers at 6-9. So likely the Celtics would win that division tiebreaker, dropping the 76ers to the 4th seed.

It would then be a 3-way tie between the division winners: Celtics, Heat, Bucks, with shared winning % determining the winner.

Celtics record vs. Heat/Bucks: 4-1

Heat vs. Celtics/Bucks: 2-4

Bucks vs. Heat/Celtics: 3-4

So most likely the Celtics would come out of that 3-way tie with the 1 seed, then based on current record it would be the Bucks with the 2-seed, & the Heat with the 3-seed.

Obviously all this is still up in the air, there's a 76ers-Bucks game today, Celtics-Heat tomorrow, & a Celtics-Bucks game on April 7th.

For comparison the FiveThirtyEight model projects the 76ers at 52-30, then a 3-way tie at 51-31 for the 2nd seed among Bucks, Celtics, & Heat.

After that Bucks game between Embiid and Giannis man I want to see them in a 7 game series

Would be a good one.

Really upset with Doc Rivers last night. 76ers had a 10 point lead and they sit all of their starters in the 4th quarter except for Tobias for a stretch of 4 minutes where the Bucks had Giannis/Middleton/Holiday on the floor and it turned into a 2 point deficit for the 76ers. That's where the turning point was, once again when Embiid was off the floor. This team has a great starting lineup but no depth at all when their key pieces are off the floor. Why the FUCK does he not stagger it and give Maxey major minutes when Embiid and Harden were resting instead of resting all 3 of them at the same time and leaving Tobias out there with the bench??? :wallbash:

We have a really bad backup center problem, and as expected DeAndre Jordan isn't the answer hence him not even being in the rotation last night. Embiid is going to need to play major minutes in the playoffs as usual with no reliable backup option.
