In terms of favorable matchups, none of the teams ahead of us are ideal with the exception of Toronto. Historically we matchup well against them and their run and gun isolation style of basketball is not conducive to the playoffs.

Unfortunately, it seems we will be jockeying for position between 3-6 and while those teams aren't ideal, they would all definitely be winnable series'.

Now, the path to the ECF (which is very realistic for this team depending on the way the seeds fall) would have to be via seeds 2, 3, 6 or 7. Assuming Cleveland will stay at 1, the 2-7 winner would play the 3-6 winner to in all likelihood face the Cavs in the conference final. The 4-5 matchup would only be facing Cleveland in the 2nd round.

Tl;dr the best possible spot for Charlotte would be the 3rd seed, or just staying in a holding pattern where they are right now.

The thing is if we get ATL it may not seem like a great option given our play against them this season but if we win that series, it could give the team some serious momentum. 

Ideally, Beantown or Miami are good with me.

The Celtics have the Blazers and Warriors coming up.  Not to mention close the season with us, Mia, and ATL.  They've got a tough stretch. 

The Heat's toughest are the Magic and Pistons twice. 

I think Miami maintains their seed, we move into 5 and play them (4-5).  ATL v. Boston as the 3-6.

I just do not want the 5 seed, and would pragmatically prefer the 6 to the 4 although I would be stoked for the city to host the games and the improved prospects of winning the round that the four seed would bring.

I could not care less who we play though if we can avoid Lebron until the ECF.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
