Pack, I agree, a lot of talk around here that the Pistons would be the ideal choice because:

1) We beat them 4-0 in regular season(I know it means diddily now)
2) Easier travel schedule.

Bucks in 4 or 5
Raptors in 6
76ers in 7
Celtics in 7

Personally, I wouldn't want to be playing the Nets or Magic right now, they are the hot teams with momentum.

I have 76ers beating Nets in 7. Nets did split season series with 76ers and 2 games were decided by a single possession.


For Raptors vs Magic, one thing I'm hoping overshadows a "season series was tied" note is that only 1 game of the entire series had Raptors with Kawhi,Lowry,Gasol. Raptors won by 12 (and led by 19 before "garbage time" players came in). Both losses to Magic had Kawhi or Lowry out.

What the Nets have on their side. Is that magically thing called the 3 pointer. They shoot a lot of them. Any team in the league can be overwhelming. I'ts their defense that acts up.
