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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
