Tonight the Toronto Raptors can secure the second seed in the Eastern Conference against a hungry Boston Celtics Team.
The second seed means a lot more this year than in past years. The drop off in competition between the 6th and 7th seed is enormous — currently the Sixers are 6th and Brooklyn Nets are 7th. That is why securing the win here for the Toronto Raptors is imperative for an easier road in the playoffs. Especially since their upcoming games will be harder than the Celtics’ future games.
