Go back to the final game of the regular season in 2007. All we had to do to secure the 2nd seed was beat the New Jersey Nets, and we would have gone on to face the Wizards. However, we couldn't seal the deal, we fell to the 5th seed, and we ended up having to face the Miami Heat who were the defending NBA Champions. Now, I don't think I have to remind anyone here that we annihilated them in 4 games to move on to face Detroit in the 2nd round.
Now on to last night, where all we had to do to seal the 6th seed and go on to face Orlando in the 1st round was beat the lowly Raptors. Of course, we couldn't do it, and we slip to the 7th seed where we now have to face the Boston Celtics, the defending NBA champions... Coincidence? |

Maybe. At first I thought we matched up better against Boston than Orlando because our athleticism outshines theirs and we can get out and run but they are battle tested and play tremendous defense whereas we do not, we don't even play average defense and we have to guard the Big 3. Orlando would be almost impossible to beat if they kept hitting 3's all night but atleast Rose could assert himself a little better since Alston is pretty bad. I just have a feeling Rondo is going to throw alley oop after alley oop to KG off of pick and rolls while Ray Allen loses Gordon off of screens and shoots lights out from 3.
If you look at each matchup I don't think we win any against Boston Rose<Rondo Gordon<Allen Salmons<Pierce Tyrus<KG Noah<=Perkins Against Orlando we'd have two matchups in our favor in the backcourt Rose>Alston Gordon>Lee Salmons<Lewis Tyrus<Turkoglu Noah<<<<Howard |
