What is more important for the Boston Celtics as the team starts thinking about its positioning for the 2022 NBA playoffs: a favorable matchup and path to the conference finals or home-court advantage for the Celtics?
It makes sense to focus on winning as many games as possible as they fight their way (hopefully) to a top-four finish in the East.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “A-List” podcast recently discussed what approach the Celtics ought to take as the stretch run arrives ahead of the playoffs. Hosts Gary Washburn, Kwani A. Lunis, and A. Sherrod Blakely debate what approach Boston should take heading into the postseason.
Check out the clip embedded above to hear their points of view.
