Playoff Match-ups...
Playoff Match-ups...
If your favorite team is in the running for a playoff spot, which team would you prefer to see in the 1st round?
As a Warriors fan, I would prefer Portland (3 vs. 6 or 4 vs. 5).

Good call. I still think they have done a bit with smoke and mirrors. I would like the Blazers too if the Grizz can finish strong here.rtiff68 wrote:If your favorite team is in the running for a playoff spot, which team would you prefer to see in the 1st round?

As much as it pisses me off to say this, I have little doubt that the Lakers will end up in the top 3. Shit just always seems to work out for them.
I'm officially in Tucson now, by the way. The wife and I have been house-hunting the past 2 days with a local realtor, and I start work on Monday. How are things?

Re: Playoff Match-ups...
I have a feeling you guys will squeeze in, and the Grizzlies are the last thing I would want to see in Round 1 if I was a Thunder fan. Even if you win the series, they're going to take a pound of flesh from you in the process (sort of like basketball's version of the 49ers or Seahawks).vcsgrizzfan wrote:Good call.

Re: Playoff Match-ups...
Nice! I like it out here a lot. I will always be a Bay Area kid at heart, but I'm never going to be able to afford to live out there (the way I want to, at least). Tucson is built around the university, so there's actually a decent amount to do here, and I love the hiking, views, weather, etc.vcsgrizzfan wrote:We are practically neighbors.

...and I definitely plan on hitting up Spring Training every year after this one (I just got here Sunday, and I'm living with the in-laws until we buy a place, so this year won't work). We'll have to meet up for beers in Scottsdale in the near future (maybe a Suns game at some point?)!

I haven't bought any tickets yet, but I'm planning on taking in a catcus league game or two on this trip. Good times.

Congrats on finally moving out there and making the house hunt a reality.
Believe it or not, my future might include living in Arizona here shortly too. I'll keep you posted.

No kidding (about moving to AZ)? That would be crazy. Definitely keep me in the loop...

Yeah, could happen as soon as the end of this month. Debating on taking the job and moving or not but I will decide soon.

I'd rather Bulls play the Wizards than the Nets out of their two most likely first round matches

Re: Playoff Match-ups...
That would be a WAY better match-up for Chicago. Washington needs to run, and they're inexperienced-- I think the Bulls would slow the game to a grinding halt and win the series rather easily (5 games).Titan18 wrote:I'd rather Bulls play the Wizards than the Nets out of their two most likely first round matches
With veteran-laden teams like the Nets, you never know what they might do once the "real" (post)season starts...
Re: Playoff Match-ups...
Playing the wizards would be a good matchup for us. Shouldn't struggle too much with them.
Re: Playoff Match-ups...
Exactly. Ideal scenario for me is Bulls to end up 3rd seed and Wizards droprtiff68 wrote:That would be a WAY better match-up for Chicago.

To 6. That will lead to a likely first round victory for the Bulls and a Indy matchup in the second round. And although the chances are slim Bulls have more of a chance of pulling a upset than they would Miami.
And I know Pacers are technically 1st seed right now but Miami is coming for that ass.
Re: Playoff Match-ups...
Oh and Rtiff I was at the Bulls/Warriors last Wed and was really exciting to see Curry play but damn did he take a massive dump on the court that night. Was that his worse game of the season?

I think it was simply a case of having an off night right from the get-go on the road against a team that plays balls out every night.
That game certainly sucked ass, but they've won 7 of 9 overall, and that road trip as a whole was pretty successful.
So it goes, I suppose. Sorry you didn't get your money's worth...
