After the allstar break, with the end of the season now in sight, I'm wondering what matchups you think might give us troubles? and which would be the preferred matchup to get the momentum going and to move past that first round finally.
There isn't a first round matchup that concerns me other than a Bulls team that squeaks in due to injuries and then gets Butler back in time for the playoffs. That would be unfortunate.
The fact that posters are so concerned about mediocre to below average teams like Charlotte, WSH, Detroit, Indy says less about those teams and the Raps and more about how badly last postseason affected the psyche of Raps fans.

Take on all comers. They should be scared of us. That's got to be the mentality. Even better if you take the toughest route to the finals, then there can be no question that you won it legitimately. People still question if GSW won it fair and square last year.

Indiana is also no easy out. The emergence of Myles Turner spells a real problem for Luis Scola. George Hill is a tough defender and Frank Vogel is very crafty.
Charlotte is mediocre/below-average and Detroit is very young, but that posters could be so cavalier about our chances after losing twice consecutively to lower seeds suggests that if enough time passes fans can forget about losses or make excuses for why we lost in the first place.

Man, the uniforms aren't even the same as last year, let alone the 4 new rotations players that wear them.
I get that Casey is to blame for the emotional scar tissue that a lot of people are dealing with here, but if you can look past that it's not quite as bleak as you're making it out to be.Two beer away from being two beers away.
