Yeah, I agree with people who have said it would be best to be on the opposite side of the bracket of PHI, MIL, BKN. Miami is a very good team, and I respect them, but I don't think their high-end talent is quite on the level of those 3. Butler and Lowry also have a lot of miles on those tires, and if they get nicked up, that hurts Miami, who (like us) really need all their pieces functioning at a high level to be at their most dangerous.
Ideally, we host Chicago in round 1, then play Miami, and finally I would root for Philly to come out of the 2nd round and play them in the ECF. As amazing as Embiid and Harden are, both of them have had some struggles winning at the highest levels, and we seem to do a good job of making things difficult on Embiid (especially down the stretch of games).
Giannis and Durant, in my opinion, are the two most dangerous individual players in the conference still in terms of being able to win playoff games no matter what you throw at them, so if we can avoid those two that would be ideal.
