Playoff Seeding

[doclinkin]

I'm calling it now. We end up fourth with home court against the Nets or Chicago (probably the latter). And I think, with a healthy Nene, we have a 70% chance to take either team. How do you think we will end up in the seeding? Matched with whom? And how will we match-up?

barelystradamus. I expect vegas treated you kindly. Ok then, howzabout a prediction on the NEXT series.

If it's Atlanta, which I believe it will be, then Wiz in six. If Indy, then I'm worried because it will mean they got some of their mojo back. I'm going to game two and then Vegas again, and I'm betting big on the Wizards either way, but I'm worried if it's Indy. After that, I think we could take two games from Miami. Miami in six. Certainly not betting that series.

Btw the tiny desk, Moon Hooch on NPR, is the fifth. Check their website. Tiny desk has kinda become the new mtv unplugged. Friggin' lucky bastards who work there. My ex-high school girlfriend happens to be one of those lucky bastards.

But you were topped. The conversation was taking place in another thread and posted in before this thread was even created which is why no one responded in it initially.

As was suggested in here a long time ago, this should have been merged.

I'm not too worried about Chicago. I really think they are doing it with smoke and mirrors and in a long series, their lack of talent will become evident.

I'd like to see Chicago. I just can't see us losing to an offensively anemic team.

I agree, hopefully we can take the fourth seed and Chicago ends up in 5th place. I could see us winning in 5 or 6 against a banged up bulls team that has run out of gas. It also helps that we haven't lost to them this season.

Agree 100% with this.

The Bulls would be a tough out, but we'd win in 5-6 games. We have more talent. You can't try hard your way to wins in the playoffs.

The Raptors would be an entertaining and probably 7 game series. Toss up, but I give us the edge.

Nets will be scary. Too many battle tested veterans, and they'd probably win the officiating battle(we know that's half the battle right there in the postseason).

Call it Kool-aid or what but I'm wildly optimistic about our 1st round prospects this year.

Chicago will go as far as Noah takes them and as much as he's exceeded expectations, Noah can't take them very far. Plus, that squad isn't going to be putting up points on our defense. 6 games, max.
