How do people feel heading into the playoffs?

12 games left, and the current seeding makes me think it'll be you guys v.s Boston in Rnd 1 (given the NY injuries). How far in the playoffs do you think your team will go? They've currently got to get past Boston, then probably NY, before the Heat even come up.

Boston, Atlanta, Chicago - I don't like any of those match-ups and I'm not nearly as confident as I was a month ago. Granger hasn't come back and now West is down and we're just playing far below our best. I'm actually less concerned with NY and Brooklyn who are our likely 2nd round opponents than I am with out first round opponents. so in a word I feel nervous.

I think it really depends on how healthy we can be going into the playoffs. David West is out for a bit and it may take him a few games to get back into game playing shape. Granger, in my opinion, probably is done for the year. Even if he isn't he still won't be much of a factor for us in the postseason. If we get past our first round opponent I think we can then meet Miami in the finals we can take them to 6 games. That is our maximum potential.

I don't like our momentum right now, we've slowed down a bit losing games we should have won. I'd like to see us reel off a nice win streak heading in.

They did say Granger would be playing now if it were postseason and not regular season. Let's hope it's true.
His overall game has never been that great but if he can hit a couple of big buckets, his presence will make a difference IMO

Besides health, the opponent we have to face would also influence my vote in this topic.
