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.
As of now seeds/potential playoff teams sit in the standings
1 Cleveland
2 Toronto
3 Boston
4 Atlanta
5 Miami
6 Indiana
7 Charlotte
8 Chicago
9 Detroit
10 Washington
Lets assume with injuries and other factors, theres a multitude of possibilities. I'll exclude the 11th Orlando, because even if they do make the cut I don't think they pose much of a threat.
I would say prior to Bosh's uncertainty that Miami is not a team we favourably matchup with, given that Whiteside keeps us out of the paint, Winslow's wing defence and the vets always seem to come out against the raptors when it counts.
Detroit would provide a lot of entertainment, Washington would be great just for the rivalry factor.
With all this being said, I don't necessarily think we want just an easy pass in the first round just to get into the 2nd round. It's better to have this team put to the test to fairly assess what direction we may be headed. But, which team would you want to see in the first round?
