I love it and I was just talking to sly about this. My dream playoff series is SAS. I think that is the team we match up best with.
I was thinking Dallas as well. We have had success against them the last few years, which is basically the same team it is now, and we have had success on the road against them. The reason I think the Blazers do well against those teams overall, is unlike other western conference teams, they don't swap an elite defender on to Miller and hide their worst defender on Batum, because they don't have the elite defender to pull it off.
True. As much as I hate to say it. Only the Lakers would be the team I would worry about in the playoffs. If we could make it to the WCF against Lakers, then I love the chances. But 1st or 2nd round would be tough.
That and Kidd isn't an explosively fast guard like others around the league and Miller can hang with him. Barea is Mills on steroids. Camby is a veteran version of Chandler. Batum can match Dirks flopping.
