FOr me I would not like to play Charlotte, the wiz or the Cavs early. I think that those three teams have an understanding of how to effectively beat us. We do not match up well with long athletic teams (wiz/Charlotte) and The Cavs are soming on strong. If they somehow get Bibby they could be dangerous

The Wizards beat us twice and the Bobcats once (although it could have been two). However, I'd rather not face the Cavaliers or Magic, who

The Cleveland Lebron's. I have a feeling he's going to put on a show even greater than last seasons play-offs. I don't believe that any team can beat us when we're playing our best basketball, but i don't have faith in Doc's ability to game plan for a player like Lebron.

i just don't want to face some super-hot team that just got healthy, like GS vs Dallas last year. hard to say who that's going to be right now.

ps i seriously doubt the Cavs or Wiz will end up as the #8 or even #7 seed, so i don't think we will face them in the first round.

Most likely, we will face Indiana, Atlanta or New Jersey. And we will win against each of those teams.

The only team I'd be worried about is Charlotte. We had to have a miracle play to prevent being 0-2 against them. Washington may have beaten us twice, but we blew them out in the first game of the season and Cleveland doesn't scare me.

Yea, anybody but Charlotte.

Of the realistic choices, New Jersey--at full strength, is the scariest.

More likely, the second round is where the danger lies--and where we will play the teams mentioned above.

Well if its judging by recent play I definitely wouldn't want to face a good 3 pt shooitng team.

Cleveland, Toronto, Washington, Orlando and Detroit shouldn't really be in the discussion since it's doubtful that they'll drop to 8th spot. I wouldn't mind playing Charlotte. Sure we haven't played that well against them so far, but the post season is a different beast and i think we would sweep them or win 4-1 at worst.

The teams that I would want to play the least out of the rest in probably Chicago and New Jersey, because even though they aren't playing well, they have the most talent and experience out of the teams vying for the last 2 playoff spots.
