Ideal round 1 opponent

Yup. If Miami loses, then Charlotte would have to also lose for we not to face the Heat in round one.  That is, if the Hawks get their homework done, of course.

Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that even if Charlotte wins and Miami loses, Miami gets the 5th seed and the Hornetsget the 6th. No?

I can't wait for this night to be over. All these possible scenarios are making my head spin.

You can check the chart in the merged Scenarios thread, but BrazHawk's right (assuming the Hawks win in DC, that is). The rule for drawing the heat is A.B.C. -- Atlanta, Boston, and Charlotte all win, we get miami. It's the only scenario in which we draw the heat.

Oh crap ur right...Miami and Charlotte tied in their series 2-2 but Charlotte has the better conference record thus the higher seed. So we kind of desperately need the Magic to beat the Hornets as well to avoid playing the Heat.

 

So here it is:

Atlanta beats Washington

Orlando beats Charlotte

Boston beats Miami

 

and we are golden. :-)

I'm just curious...26 people voted on this topic. 18 want the Hornets, 7 want the Celtics and 1 wants the Heat.

 

Who voted to play the Heat? Lol. Show urself!!!!!

Really doesn't matter who we play since we can't even compete with a wizards team tonight that would be an equivalent of a AA baseball team. LOL.

[Dnice]

Sure doesn't.

I'll say Hawks in 6/7 but if they play like the way they played the last two games they'll be out in five. I'd keep in mind though that a REALLY bad trait of these past two teams is the fact they've had letdown games against teams without their best players.

Then an ugly, ugly, ugly series vs Cleveland which forces the changes that people want to see, likely even a rebuild.

I think Hawks got too cocky, looking too far ahead to the playoffs throughout this season. I just wonder how far ahead they're looking, hopefully they aren't thinking about ECF right now.
