Playoff Seeding Thread: The race for 2nd

[Adelheid]

the scary thing about MIA is how the refs allow them to play physical plus one their guys allowed to hurt other players with hardly any repercussions

[NiceLikeChrist]

I think people are really overrating Miami.
They are a 500 ball club since the Rozier trade.

They are also actually worse when Herro and Rozier play together because they lose their strength which is defense and replace it with inefficient chucking.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see them lose in the play-in

They suck but we get hurt every time we play them. I don’t want a series against those hack jobs. Let Celtics get them so they can take out one of their starters on the way to losing.

I kinda want the Heat in round one. I want get back from last year

[Kampuchea]

Give us Orlando.

Sixers are one to avoid. They are too good for a first round matchup with Embiid back.

I get it and of course I want revenge but I rather not play around with Spo, Playoff Butler and Bam injuring everyone. Plus its the one team where the Garden has zero impact on them. Let someone else take on that task in round one.

Philly and Miami doesn't seem fair to play in round one after winning 50 games. That's the type of competition you usually get in round two. Fingers crossed the basketball gods are nice to us this afternoon.

I’ll say this - I think if we play Philly, I think the Knicks fans will show up in both arenas

[Wildcat]

So if the halftime scores indicate the winners, it'll be Knicks (2) vs. Heat/76ers, Cavs (3) vs. Pacers, Bucks (4) vs. Magic.

PULL ALL STARTERS RIGHT NOW
WE NEED TO LOSE TO KEEP THE 3 AND AVOID PHILLY!!!

[pwayknicks]

I can’t believe we have to root against them to win right now ! But we need to avoid philly ..

Why did they win when they knew the outcome already? Is 50 wins really worth 76ers or Miami in the 1st round? I hope somehow Miami is the outcome even if I think the 76ers are a slightly easier opponent.

[JXL]

For those wanting to tank for easier opponent: GTFO NOW.

Rooting for the Heat. We matchup so much better with them this year and I want revenge.
