A breeze would be lovely, but we have to assume Orlando actually wins a playoff series if they get the 3rd seed.
Not to say that even if they lost to a team like Toronto that we wouldn't beat the shit out of Toronto...

We still could end up with the #1 seed and face Cleveland if they get the 4 seed in the 2nd round anyway, if KG keeps falling in love with the jumper and it doesn't fall and Pierce/Allen play as bad as they did last night more often.
NJ won't get in the playoffs, yet alone be the 6th seed imo.Quote:

If we think the Pistons are as good as they've been hyped to be this season, we shouldn't be concerned about playing Cleveland anyway.
That's what we thought last season as well though.

Are you a man? Because any man knows that competition brings out the best, not ducking.
Didn't look like it.Quote:

Stamina is just an excuse fans use to coddle their inferior team, much like blaming the refs or the chairman.
We struggled to break 70 against NJ in two games.
We didn't break 90 ONCE vs. Cleveland and we only did it once vs. Miami.
Plus, we had depth in 04. We didn't last year or the year before that.
Except depth hasn't been our main problem. Our perimeter defense has been the biggest problem. Three years in a row a perimeter player(Ginobili/Wade/LeBron) has destroyed our defense.
^ That too.
