Best path to the Finals 

Post#1 » by theokie » Thu Apr 19, 2012 7:07 pm

Only 4 games and a little over a week left until he playoffs. Right now OKC is sitting at 2, and I think this is the ideal spot to be right now.

The two teams that scare me the most are the Spurs and Grizzlies. Ill probably throw the Clippers in there at 3 because they always give us fits, but they are pretty interchangeable with the Lakers imo.

Out of Denver/Phoenix/Utah/Houston, none of those teams scare me and should be taken care of if 5 and 6 at the most. It'd be awful if Dallas fell to 7 though... definitely not the team I'd want to face in the first round.

Hopefully things stay the same right now.

Denver in the 1st, LA/Dallas in the 2nd. Then we would only have to beat either the Spurs or the Grizzlies once in the WCF.

Best possible scenario would be 2 vs 7 seed Denver, then vs 3 seed Lakers in the second round. That way we only have to play one of San Antonio/Memphis/Clippers. Although the extra home game vs SA would be nice, but I think it might be better to have the chance Memphis knocks them off.
