Who you do you WANT to face in the first round of the playoffs?

Assuming your window are seeds 5-8 (sorry but I don't see anyone breaking through the top 4) who would you like to face? Of course, the Cats would be the road team

Cleveland- Ahhh The Lebrons. I think the Cats match up great with the Cavs. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if you pushed the series to 7, but this is a no win situation. David Stern is not going to let the Charlotte Bobcats beat the Lebrons. No way..no how.

Boston- The oldest team in the NBA just about.KG's knees are jelly right now. I honestly think they would take you guys easy, but thats just me.

Orlando- I hope you play Orlando. Imo, I think you guys can beat them. You match up so well with them, and we all know the NBA is all about matchups. I hope this is who you face

Atlanta-..we've been through this. Personally I would also love this matchup, so I can go to Charlotte, and see the Hawks, but..thats what TV is for.

Cleveland or ATL. We have never done well against ORL even though it looks decent on paper and Boston has kicked our asses twice this year.

I'm guessing it's going to be ATL, and that'll be a good matchup and series for a lot of reasons. Not the least of which is I hope we'll be able to shut you up jk, you're not that bad.

But rekindling the I-85 rivalry that the Panthers and Falcons have poorly carried since Vick left would be good, especially since both football teams will probably be better next year. Now if only we had an MLB team to challenge the Braves...

Bulls. D Rose can only carry his team so far. Means we should get into the second round of playoffs. After them, I guess either Orlando or Hawks.

Bulls and us are both going to be 5-8 seeds, and even if we get to 4, ATL will be 5. We can't play Chi-town first round...

atlanta or boston

Nets ..............

[Fred Williamson]

The Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers.

I say the Cavs too. We have a punch-you-in-the-face attitude against them that they don't respond well to. I also think we do a pretty good job against Lebron.

If you get jumped by a gang, you always go after the biggest one first. You beat him, and you've got a huge obstacle out of the way, a lot of momentum, and the rest of the guys have a little bit of fear in their hearts.

Although, that would also likely mean we'd be the 8 seed and never be able to get home court advantage. I think there's a very good chance a couple of the top seeded teams go down this year, so a 5-6 gaining home court advantage in the conference finals is a real possibility.

I actually like a match-up with the Hawks the least, but I'm not scared.

Cleveland or Boston. Diaw would get eaten alive by Josh Smith over the course of a playoff series.

Any of those guys soud good exept Orlando. I would love to see the cats' pull the "upset" over Boston.
