The Boston Celtics have clinched the No.1 seed in the Eastern Conference, marking a significant achievement as they have done so before any other team in the NBA has even secured a playoff spot. This accomplishment comes seven years after their last No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. The Celtics' magic number for homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs, including the Finals, is now five. Their recent performance against the Hawks, where they appeared very locked in, even against a team missing seven players, has been noted as a sign of their readiness for the playoffs, potentially making it 10 wins in a row. Observers have remarked on the team's exceptional form, describing the Celtics as a 'machine' and already in 'playoff mode'.

The Celtics look very, very, VERY locked in tonight. Against a Hawks team that's missing seven guys. This is a significant mental note.
