Knicks in first round or Celtics in 2nd round? 

Post#1 » by NorrisColeWorld » Wed Apr 11, 2012 1:52 am

With 2 games left against the Bulls and Rose out I believe we will be in control of whether we want to be 1 seed or 2 seed.

As a 1 seed I think we get a bye Vs the Bucks first round but then we have to play the Celtics unless the Hawks upset them.

As a 2 seed we have to play the Knicks in the first round and then the Pacers.

Whats your ideal playoff road for us?

Philly first round, Indy second.

We ain't getting the 1 seed, not the way this team has been playing post all-star break.

Boston is keeping the 4th seed.

I want Philly if possible. This team the way they are playing, would get knocked out by the Knicks. Novak would have a party alone. This sucks.

neither road will be easy that's what winning the championship is about and if this team can't respond to a punch in the mouth then they don't deserve it

I don't really mind who we play, but I want the Bulls to have to actually play someone this year to get the ECF. Last year they had such an easy route to the ECF. I'd like to see that team tested this year against the Knicks, Boston, or the Magic before they get to us.

First round I'd want to play Philly the most, followed by the Hawks, followed by the Knicks.

Don't want to play the Bucks.

With what...two weeks to go before the playoffs, you want to overhaul our defense? With no practice time? Pretty sure that's impossible.

They don't have to overhaul the defense. More like play more man to man or something, or zone.

When they played zone they actually had some success but you can't play it too long, especially against a team like Boston with Ray **** Allen on their team.

If they do less gambling and LESS TRAPPING, they will be much better. Today they doubled, Boston rolled and hit a jumpshot. It's like they knew it would happen and practiced it all day and they did this all night. Stiesma even hit like 5-6...

We also have to stop the whole "let Rondo shoot thing". He friggin has confidence now to shoot, and when he shot a 3 it was so disgraceful. ATLEAST PUT A BODY ON HIM. Yeah let one of the best PG's in the league get some good vision to run the offense. These guys are idiots I swear.

Change the defense or it won't matter. But I think Philly will come back and take the 7th seed of NYK.

Philly are already back in the 7th seed and their schedule till the end of the season is waaaaaayyy way easier than the Knicks. I think Philly might lock the 7th seed.

Then they shouldn't have dropped to 7th seed in the first place.
