| 0:00.0 | Wednesday night edition of the Dunktown basketball podcast, we thought that this Cavalier Celtic |
| 0:05.7 | game was going to be awesome that it would determine who the number one scene in the east would be. |
| 0:10.1 | The latter of those things appeared to be true, not so much the former as it was a ridiculous |
| 0:15.5 | cast plot, so we'll get into the nitty gritty on that. Also got some news to catch up to, talk playoff |
| 0:20.8 | scenarios as well. Responsor today by Zippercruder. My listeners can post jobs on Zippercruder for free |
| 0:26.8 | by going to zippercruder.com slash cap space and Seaky use that cap space code to get a $20 |
| 0:33.5 | rebate off of your first Seaky purchase. So we'll get into the nitty gritty of this game itself |
| 0:40.0 | and a little bit Danny, but what were the playoff implications of this comfortable Cleveland win |
| 0:46.2 | on the road in Boston without Tristan Tufts? So it did a couple of different things. One, |
| 0:51.2 | it put the Cavs one game ahead just in terms of wins and losses above the Celtics and that matter |
| 0:56.5 | is even more because it also gave Cleveland the tiebreaker because I think it gave him a three |

| 1:08.1 | they win. So that one game really looks like too. Yeah, although the Cavaliers would have had the |
| 1:13.4 | tiebreaker anyway due to a secure your conference record. So that was priced in the Cavaliers, |
| 1:19.7 | I believe, play Atlanta twice more still so that they can have a big say in what happens with the |
| 1:25.6 | the Atlanta Hawks as well. But the Cavaliers now projected for a 54 and 28 record a game ahead |
| 1:32.0 | of the Celtics at 53 and 29. But as you mentioned, the tiebreaker in favor of the Cavaliers and now |
| 1:37.2 | 538 giving the Cavaliers an 88% chance at taking home that first seed. But it will be interesting, |
| 1:44.4 | especially be given the fact that they play some other teams that are in the race. It'll not be |
| 1:48.5 | like in past years where they were sitting guys and actually the Celtics benefited from the Cavs |
| 1:53.6 | resting players two years ago to actually make it into the playoffs to begin with. |
| 1:58.1 | May not be the case now because the Cavaliers will have to win still to keep ahead of the Celtics, |
