2014 NBA PLAYOFF MATCHUPS (Round 2)


Recommended Posts

Updated: The way Brooklyn is playing it looks like they will be the 5th seed which leaves us fighting with Washington for the 6th seed.

The Wizards upcoming schedule is semi-difficult.

- @ Portland

- @ LAL

- @ Denver

- @ Phoenix

- vs. Indiana

- vs. Atlanta

- @ Charlotte

They could easily go 2-5 or 1-6.

We need to capitalize by beating one of Houston or Portland then beat Brooklyn which puts us into the super easy part of our schedule where we could easily go 7-0 down the stretch.

It all starts with these next three games though. We HAVE to go 2-1 in the next three.

Portland didn't impress me too much when I saw them in San Antonio... I think we can take em... If splitter was workin on Em I think Al will do well

I really don't think the Wizards will win a game on their road trip... they're just not a good road team (they lost @SacTown last night).

If we go 3-1 in our next four, which is difficult but possible... (vs PTL, vs. HOU, vs. BRK, @ ORL) and Washington goes 0-4 on their road trip, I believe we would be even with them in the standings with them coming to Charlotte for both teams next game.

I will say this - to me, it's not the seed but the opponent IMO.  Since I don't think a 4th or higher is realistic at this point to get a home-court advantage in the series, I wouldn't mind the eighth spot as long as we get Indiana in the first round and Miami doesn't leapfrog them.

 

I feel that against the Pacers or Raptors we would be okay, but Miami would sweep us.  The Bulls would give us fits as well, so I will go with either the eight or six spot assuming the top four stay as is.  I feel that would give us the best chance to win a playoff game, perhaps series, under the Bobcats name before it is retired.

    • I don't know if Canales is any good as a head coach yet, but he has done well with our non-XL receivers. I personally think he is handicapped by a key personnel and that is partly out of his hands for the next couple weeks. He's also very young, so will absolutely have head scratchers and growing pains. But outside of Wilks he's probably already out best HC since Rivera, which isn't saying much, and imo his ceiling is unknown vs Wilks' which is unfortunately very well known.
    • That's not what Bryce was pitched to be. Nor was the, what, 4th or 5th Tepper rebuild iteration? That's the problem with all this. You trade all this draft capital up to get these guys(Bryce, XL, etc) and then when they get their opportunities they can't hack it. As I have said many times, I view this as less of a development issue as I do an evaluation issue. We just suck at identifying talent correctly. It fails us all too often. If it was solely development, so many of these guys that left here after being failed draft picks would be studs. That is literally almost never the case.
    • I remember the days when it would take WRs a few years to figure it out in the NFL...  What a time that was! Getting to the point of guys finding success else where after flopping here:  patience and a vision. Thanks to Tepper, we haven't been able to develop a vision.  Without patience, everything is a reaction. That's not to say sometimes you can tell when a fit it bad and people need to move on.  In XLs case, it's not going to hurt us to be patient.   Sure, fans see how Tmac is doing and are like "XL who??"  I get it, but I also think reacting for the sake of reacting isn't the best thing to do. Should XL get off social media for a bit and focus on the game?  Yes.  As Cam screamed "Lock in bro!"   I know being patient is hard when you see guys get off to fast starts in their careers.  Tepper can't really afford to be reactive right now.  He's got to let Dan and Dave have the time to build their team. Most of us are Panther fans.  We're the idiots here, year after year, hoping things have changed.  Most of us will continue to do so, and hope things turn around.  While some of us will balk at the salary cap, contracts and wasted years; it doesn't affect us personally since we're just fan. Now for those folks on the teams...yeah...they need to get it together before they lose their jobs and have to move!
