At least hoping we win the first round, I don't see why anyone would want to face the Bulls in the second. They are a tough as hell team. At least let them and Miami beat the living crap out of each other for 7 games in round two and maybe we can get a worn out one of those 2 teams. Obviously that would most likely be Miami but never said never.
Need to beat Atlanta on Wed, and ensure Chicago get the 5th seed. Leave them and Miami to duke it out in the second round.
Not that the Pacers are a bunch of slouches. They are tough as hell too.
I'd fancy us against the Pacers the way both teams are playing lately (earlier in the season, not so much). But I can't see us taking Chicago in a 7 game series.

same.
honestly the Bulls are THE team I'd like to avoid so obviously I'd rather have that at the #5 seed.
them possibly facing Miami and wearing them out is a bonus, my main concern is avoiding them really.
I believe we can beat the Heat, I believe we can beat the Pacers, I believe we can beat OKC, I believe we can beat Spurs and I believe we can beat Denver/Clippers/Memphis.
I don't however see us winning against the Bulls.
bulls/pacers would make a better series so intellectually i want the bulls as the 6th seed.
but if we can avoid facing the bulls in the second round that would be ideal so my heart says 5th seed.
