What 1st round Playoff match up does everyone want?

In terms of favorable matchups, none of the teams ahead of us are ideal with the exception of Toronto. Historically we matchup well against them and their run and gun isolation style of basketball is not conducive to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, it seems we will be jockeying for position between 3-6 and while those teams aren't ideal, they would all definitely be winnable series'.

Now, the path to the ECF (which is very realistic for this team depending on the way the seeds fall) would have to be via seeds 2, 3, 6 or 7. Assuming Cleveland will stay at 1, the 2-7 winner would play the 3-6 winner to in all likelihood face the Cavs in the conference final. The 4-5 matchup would only be facing Cleveland in the 2nd round.

Tl;dr the best possible spot for Charlotte would be the 3rd seed, or just staying in a holding pattern where they are right now.

The thing is if we get ATL it may not seem like a great option given our play against them this season but if we win that series, it could give the team some serious momentum. 

Ideally, Beantown or Miami are good with me.

The Celtics have the Blazers and Warriors coming up.  Not to mention close the season with us, Mia, and ATL.  They've got a tough stretch. 

The Heat's toughest are the Magic and Pistons twice. 

I think Miami maintains their seed, we move into 5 and play them (4-5).  ATL v. Boston as the 3-6.

I just do not want the 5 seed, and would pragmatically prefer the 6 to the 4 although I would be stoked for the city to host the games and the improved prospects of winning the round that the four seed would bring.

I could not care less who we play though if we can avoid Lebron until the ECF.

    • Really?  Back to this again? How many times have I said that I’d prefer to trade back from #1? Too many to count, but as I’ve pointed out, that’s going to be much easier said than done, as once we signal we want to trade back, teams will know we don’t want any of the QBs and they’d target the 2nd pick in a trade instead. All of my “T-Mac at #1” talk has been discussed under two circumstances… the first being that no QB or DE pop before the draft, and that we can’t trade back. But again, I know you don’t like to actually read that stuff when I say it, as I’ve said it numerous times.
    • Thanks for posting this. While this was far from a great performance, this critique shows what some of us noticed last week. Bryce played "a little better". There is some talent there. But, as you pointed out we really don't have a great pass blocking line for dropping back each down when we are behind. BY has got some bad habits and physical limitations. At times his teammates let him down. The play calling isn't always the best. I hope he can learn from last week and show us some improvement in the Saints game.
    • Oh, and yes, I’d take a WR first in this upcoming draft, but again, that’s not in a vacuum I wouldn’t have taken him over the QBs this past year or likely the ones next year either. It’s all relative to who is available in a specific draft, and I don’t think any of the QB’s are worth the risk at #1 this year. Also the fact that you’ve said you would take T-Mac #2 but scoff at him going #1 is just in itself, super weird.  How you can justify a player at #2 but not #1 solely because of their position and with complete disregard to the other players available, is absolutely crazy town talk
