If I have this correct, if the Celtics lose three more games or the Bucks win 3 more games (or any combination of those two), then the C's lock up the 2nd worst record. I'm pretty sure Memphis has locked up the worst record because if they win out (not likely) they'll still only have 22 wins. There is still a chance that the Bucks could catch us, so Friday's game is a critical 2 magic numbers swing. But first there is the Sixers game tonight.
I know I told you there would be no math, but sometimes math is fun, just remember School House Rock:
Three is a magic number,
Yes it is, it's a magic number.
Somewhere in the ancient, mystic trinity
You get three as a magic number.
