Boston @ Cleveland: If Boston wins, it will force Cleveland to have to try again to get the #1 seed in the playoffs in their finale against Philly. If Cleveland wins, then they'll almost certainly not have anything to play for in the season finale (except tying the best home record of all time for whatever that is worth)
New York @ Miami: Our dim hopes of the 5th seed will likely be extinguished in this game, but they're still out there for now. We need Miami to lose out and us to win out to get the 5th seed. If we had won either of those two games we blew where we had a tie and the ball with no shot clock left then the odds of the 5th seed would look pretty good right now, but we didn't. Wow those two losses hurt.
Philadelphia @ Toronto: If we want the 6th seed then this is one of the games Philly has the best chance of winning (pending the Cleveland game as well depending on whether LeBron plays). Hopefully Toronto is strong at home. If Philly loses here, then we'll have a legit shot at the 6th seed. If they win, we'll be in the same situation as with the 5 seed requiring a lose out by Philly and a win out by us (granted only 2 games for each of us left after this one, so that's not totally absurd).
