You know what, if we end up as the 4th or 5th seed and the Raps are the 4th or 5th, then I say great.
We can beat the Raptors easily in a 7 game series even with our current roster. We owned them twice when we weren't at full strength.
If we were matched up with the Raps in the first round I think that would give us the best chance of at least making the second round. Then we'd face Cleveland - but at least it's not Atlanta.
Staying at the 4th or 5th seed would guarantee we don't face the Hawks till the ECF, and have a solid chance of making it to the 2nd round. At this point, that sounds pretty good to me.
