I know we should never wish for the worst, but...

Are we better off in the #4 seed?  If we play the Bucks without Bogut, I have to like our chances more than seeing Wade in the first round.  With Bogut out, it is a chance for KG, Perk and Sheed to get a little confidence.

Also, 2-2 vs. Cleveland and 1-3 vs. Orlando.  We did better against LeBron and co., but looking through, they are both tough matchups.

The big thing that I noticed about yesterday's game was that we eeked out a win without Verajao playing.  Verajao killed us the last time out and we have had no one to match his intensity.  That is the only downside of facing Cleveland (vs. facing Orlando) in my mind.

I have a feeling the #4 seed will not be playing the Bucks.  The Heat have already passed them, and are streaking.  They will likely be in the 5th spot.

As for Cleveland and Orlando, I feel pretty strongly we have to go through both of them before getting to the finals, so it is pretty meaningless which we play in the second or third round.

Problem is Miami is currently in 5th, and has a much easier schedule than Milwaukee.  We also play Milwaukee twice so wanting them in 5th pretty much means we'd have to lose to them. 

We match up well against Orlando with KG, and we blew a couple big leads against them this year.  I'm not scared of them.

The Bucks are in 6th right now and will most likely stay there unless they finish terribly(feasible because of their schedule and Bogut out). They are 2 games up on Charlotte and I am pretty sure the Bucks have the tiebreaker because of Conference Record. So that's basically 3 games up with 6 games left.

Also, I am not as scared of Orlando as much I am of Cleveland. Still gotta gun for the 3 seed, imo. We have a good shot at it because of Johnson being banged up and missing games and our weak schedule.
