    With the way we've been playing in the last couple of games, I have a feeling we're going to be ok. Swag is slowly coming back. Another scorer off the bench would be ideal with Melo gone.

    The Pelis would be an atrocious matchup for us.

    Thunder are obviously dangerous at full strength or not.

    Good question. Ask me this 2 weeks ago and I’d cringe.

    Now, I think we all realize that the first month or so was pretty much a fluke in terms of teams overplaying and outplaying us.

    Pelicans are a tough matchup for us, all 3 of their big guys are big and can attack the basket or shoot. If our 3rd big is Hartenstein, would be hard to stop the bleeding inside. They are all around as big as last season's Nene and can blow past him too.

    With the Lakers/Lebron, I don't fear them but I fear the refs and the media would provide an advantage greater than homecourt.

    Everyone else I wouldn't even fear without homecourt advantage. Would love to get the Wolves in Round 1 (if they make it) and the Blazers in Round 2.

    Thunder is a problem this year.
    Their defense is scary.

    We have convincing home losses to the Pelicans, Jazz, Clippers and Blazers. We also got blown out by OKC without Westbrook. So for now I'm scared of those teams. One win against the Nuggets doesn't change that.

    I’m not scared in the playoffs those players don’t show up for the whole series. I’m cornered we don’t get to the playoffs healthy.
