I disagree with this only because I don’t think this is the right mindset to have. Yes, this team obviously CAN win on the road. That doesn’t mean you don’t want to have every single advantage you possibly can.
To me, my main reason for wanting the 1 seed is not having to play Washington in the second round, because I think they’re a better and more talented team than Boston, and the real second best team in the East.
Seeding matters because I know I’d much rather play an underwhelming Raptors team with a hobbled Lowry in the second round and only ONE of Celtics/Wizards, as opposed to being the 2nd/3rd seed and likely playing both.
The more grind it out battles we have earlier in the playoffs, the more wear and tear we’ll have going into the Finals.
