    My next choice would be San Antonio. I hope we are the 2nd seed. I want to beat an impressive opponent. The Spurs are the defending champs and the Thunder the other team to recently make the finals. To be the best you have to beat the best. The national media will all pick those teams over us so I'd like to shut them up. Playing Dallas in round 1 isn't as exciting. We've gotten out of round 1 now so we don't have that monkey on the back to worry about. I'd rather have an impressive round 1 victory and take that into a deep playoff run.

    I take it you don't read the game threads, there are some that doubt we'll even make the playoffs.

    I'm probably in the minority but I want the easiest route possible.

    If we could get Mavs-spurs-rockets in that order round by round... I'd be happy. We can beat any eastern team in a 7 game series IMHO. Cavs would be a battle though.

    The WC is tough, I don't see any team being an easy match up.

    Do you actually think the Spurs are going to be easier than the Rockets? In the Playoffs?

    My easiness order would be Rockets-Mavs-Spurs.

    No, I'm going by seeding. If all things hold. Dallas would be 6 so that's our first round matchup, Grizzlies - spurs is the 2-7 matchup, they'd be our 2nd round opponent and obviously the rockets would come out of the 1/8+4/5 bracket.

    I fucked a girl who lived on 82nd and foster. That was a ride I'm still recovering from.

    I think everyone in the West is an impressive opponent.

    And I see SA and MEM as the only tough matchups. Add Dallas if Rondo ever decides he'd rather win than be the man.
