EAambassador Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 http://www.nba.com/standings/team_record_comparison/conferenceNew_Std_Cnf.htmlCurrently Boston is 4th right now...I feel good about our chances to make it out the first round if we finish fifth or sixth. Who would you rather face Boston or Orlando? I say Boston simply for revenge and to be the team to put their big 3 to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benhillboy Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Definitely Boston. They're so banged up, and will most likely experience another key loss or two within three weeks time. Some of those geezers could go down in practice. Edited March 31, 2012 by benhillboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAambassador Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Would love to see Zaza in another playoff series against KG, At least we'll have people watching because of how we played them previously. Imagine if we played phili or indy in the first? No one would watch nationally... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
01d0rd3r Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Boston no doubt. I would like to see Orlando make it out of the first round, maybe we get them in the second and get to the ECF. A man can dream right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankthetank966 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Boston would be more enjoyable to watch. Either way it would be a tough series. It's hard to assume either team would be an easy series. Doc Rivers is a great coach and knows how to use his talent. For some reason whenever we play Boston Josh plays like a fool.

Nicholasp27 Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ideally we play Orlando in 2nd round so we can get to ECFBoston then Orlando then Chicago is our best road to finals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaceCase Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Ideally we play Orlando in 2nd round so we can get to ECFBoston then Orlando then Chicago is our best road to finalsDamn near impossible for that to happen. If we go into the playoffs as the 5th seed we'd likely play the Bulls in the 2nd round. If we go in as the 3/6 we'd likely face the Heat in the second. Outside of a 1st round matchup, the only other way to face the Magic is in the conference finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAambassador Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 The only team in the East I think we cant beat in a series is the Heat other than them I think we can beat anyone in a series. If we got a fairly called game against Miami I think we can go 7 with them and hope Lebron chokes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholasp27 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Yeah, either indiana then Chicago or orlando then miamiOur odds are better vs Orlando than indiana but better against Chicago than MiamiSo I guess I'm rooting for us to pass boston and have hc advantage vs Indiana, especially if horford is back to dominate hibbert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted April 4, 2012 Premium Member Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) I had a topic about the Eastern Conference Standings a couple of weeks ago. It's starting to get pretty interesting. I avoid checking the standings if the Hawks lost their last game and check them constantly when the Hawks are winning. Well, we lost our last game and have had a lot of time off since that loss so it's been a few days. I checked the standings today and was pretty shocked lol.Orlando has lost 4 in a row and are now the 5th seed. We are only trailing them by one game now and play them later this month.Indiana is now the third seed, and we trail them by 1.5 games (2 in the loss column). The good news with both Orlando and Indiana is that we own the head to head tie breaker. A first round match up with either of these teams would be ideal, especially if we can sneak in as the third seed and get home court.If we finish fifth, avoiding Philly seems pretty important, but I wouldn't mind facing Boston in a 4/5 matchup. If we do finish as the fifth seed, it is very important that we have a better record than the Atlantic winner as we would still get home court advantage. Looking at our schedule this month, we have some "easier" games too. 2 against Charlotte, 2 against Detroit, and 2 against the Raptors. After this weekend we get another 3 days off before going on the road to face Boston and Orlando. Also of note, we play our last 5 games of the year at home, and the final three are against NYK, LAC, and DAL. Depending on seeding for those teams, I could potentially see DAL (old) and NYK (locked into the 8th seed) resting some of their players.

Final_quest Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Looking at the schedule we have a good a chance as anyone to take the 3 seed. I'm hoping for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkrule152 Posted April 6, 2012 Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 We are in prime position to take that 3 seed and see Orlando in the 1st round.. Home court advantage i would take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
