Lets assume we do make the playoffs, which team would you prefer to face in the 1st round and which team should we avoid?
In going pretty obvious with my avoid pick, Cleveland would murder us.
Would most like to face Washington. Their bench might be worse than ours and they have a little less star power than the others .

The Hornets as currently built would be demolished by all of the top team. We really needed home court advantage.

Would prefer to avoid BOS and CLE.
Bring on everyone else. Would particularly like to face TOR.

We could take a game or two off Toronto, Washington, or Boston, but we have virtually no chance of winning any series. Toronto would be more likely than the other opponents, but I don't think its happening. Theres no point.

Spurs to avoid. Even gsw is a better match up !

We ain't making it this year. It's a pipe dream but if by some miracle we did. Toronto is the only team I'd be comfortable facing.

Cleveland and Boston are poor matchups as others have said. Those are the *must avoid*.
Atlanta, Indiana, and Chicago seem interesting, but I'm a bit pessimistic about each for various reasons.
Washington used to be a good matchup, but they are playing really well right now and I don't think that Charlotte currently can beat them.
And that leaves Toronto ... but I see the Ibaka trade as a real game changer there.

We won't get there but I would only prefer to avoid Cleveland and Boston. My favorite reasonable matchup is Toronto but even that looks worse for us now that Ibaka is there.

Washington would wax us. They are a stronger playoff roster than regular season due to their weak bench. And they are red hot. They are a huge sleeper to win the east
Id prefer toronto as mkg does a good job on derozan and their depth cant hurt us as much in the postseason
