They just seem to be falling apart to me.

For the bobcats this year, it will be all about confidence. Not only do they already have confidence against Cleveland from their regular season victories, but their confidence would be through the roof with a series win l. My only problem with playing them means we are probably the 8th seed. I would rather finish the season strong and take our chances against whoever is in our way.

It will be our first visit to the playoffs and with a few notable exceptions, this is not a team full of players accustomed to post season pressures. We have high confidence against the Cavs – having matched up well with them throughout the season. Unlike most others that point out how shaky the Celtics are on paper, I DREAD seeing Boston in the first round. The playoffs are unique and some teams tend to rise to new heights once the post-season kicks in. The Green Machine have beaten the crap out of us every single game this season. Healthy or not, the Celtics believe they have the Bobcats’ number and I think the majority of the Cats feel the same way. It’ll be hard enough beating a playoff team on their home court. If we face a team the Bobcats may be intimidated by on top of it, it may well be a lost cause.
If we meet up with Cleveland I think we’ll have a better than 50-50 chance of advancing to the second round. I can’t say that for any of the other top 4 teams.

I would say the celtics but no matter how bad they have been playing lately, every time we play them we get blown out. So I am going with the team that we are confident we can beat; Cleveland. 3-0 with Jackson!

You play some good team D so that should slow down Lebron and the Hawks on offense. But there’s also the pros of playing the Cavs in the playoffs. You could be playing on ABC and TNT if you go up against them where you would just probably be on NBA TV if you played the Hawks. So that’d be pretty cool having all those nationally televised games.

btw, I’ll be secretly rooting for the Cats against my Clippers tomorrow seeing how a Clipper loss wouldn’t mean much and it increases our lotto chances, where every win is big for the Cats.

We seem to play well against them…I think we could win a game or two. Also though, it would give us a lot of exposure nationwide (more so than before). We’d have a lot of folks across the country rooting for us as the ultimate underdog, so it would be cool.

I’m definately going for the Cavs, 100% because I’m planning on visiting my Fiancé’s family in Cleveland during the first round of the playoffs, and I’m FAIRLY certain I’d be buying tickets!
