2 seed may be out of reach, but top 4 is realistic. If we are ambitious enough -- we can do it.

I think that the Lakers and Dallas will make better late season runs then Denver will.

I do think the 4 or 5 spot is possible, but not 2nd or 3rd.

Anything is possible!

The Western conference is so wide open right now that it wouldn't surprise me if we end up getting the 5th seed.

do we even want home court?

i'm pretty sure we're better on the road. i just want to avoid oklahoma city and the spurs in the first round, at all costs.

Agree,

I would throw DAL on as 3rd team we try to avoid in the first round.

As bad as Denver has been at home this season, I would rather have the 2-4 seed with homecourt and face the Lakers, Clippers, Grizzlies or Rockets than the 5-8 seed. Homecourt in the playoffs is a different animal compared to the regular season.

But you guys are right that we are better on the road compared to home.

Great, we are going to get swept by OKC or Spurs in the 1st round

Jajwanda · Post #13 » by **Jajwanda** » Tue Apr 3, 2012 5:17 am

You guys may in fact do pretty well against OKC if you match-up correctly. I would go:

PG- Lawson
SG- Miller
SF- Affalo
PF- Harrington
C- McGee

To start the game and run Perkins off the court.

perkins is the least of our worries, assuming we match up with them.

This team has the potential to climb to 3rd. It depends on Karl IMO.

I think Karl would prefer to play Chandler or Aaron ERRR Anthony Carter over McGee
