Who's our best potential matchup in the first round?

I wouldn't mind us holding down the 3 seed and seeing a Washington team climb the ladder a little bit to 6. I think that'd be a good matchup for us.

would have to be Charlotte. 
-thinnest in terms of roster talent. 
-no real big man talent that can play both ends of the floor.  Big Al can be a load on offense but he's no longer their focal point and his D isn't exactly top notch.
-no stars to get the star treatment from the refs.  Kemba's no star and he's as close as they have.
-they rely a lot on outside shooting and they seem to have cold nights more often than we do.  no reason to suspect our perimeter D can't contain whoever they put on the floor.

[Donoghus]

Charlotte

Not dealing with George, Butler, Wade & Co., or Horford/Millsap.

After watching the C's crush the Wizards a couple times early in the season I thought about this as well. A series of Stevens coaching against their joke of a coach would be nice. However, if Washington gets the 6 seed it will mean they are red hot going into the playoffs, and I'd rather not face a red hot team.
