I really hope we play the Hawks first round.

But basically, anyone but Toronto/New York/Chicago is fine with me.

If we are concerned about any first-round matchups, we are in trouble.

Get HCA and prepare for Milwaukee. Nobody else should be a concern. Get the top seed and have Milwaukee discard Philly. Let the rest sort itself out. Chicago and Cleveland have played us well earlier in the season, but they aren’t too worrisome in a series.

I chose Hawks because I'd like to see Trae and company against the C's. That's the most challenging.

agreed.  pretty much sums it up.  only team that should pose a challenge in the playoffs, including the finals, is Milwaukee.  home court over them will be significant advantage to have

Don't want to see any team who has tons of length. Give me the Wizards tho.

Yeah I'd love to see Washington win the play-in game and make it as an 8 seed. Easy for us  :laugh:

No one we will face in the 1st round should pose much of a threat in series. 1 game maybe in a series nah
ok fine

This. The key is getting the number one seed, so that Milwaukee has to deal with Philly in the second round. Hopefully we get Miami, not Cleveland, in the second round.

Cleveland may be dangerous. I kind of hope CLE gets the 3 seed and beats MIL in the 2nd round. Because while CLE is dangerous I still much rather face them than MIL in a potential ECF

Yeah and Beal isn't even the same guy anymore. I think we'd crush them

Wizards and then Indiana.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.
