    Obviously it would be best if we meet some scrub team like the Pacers or Knicks but that's just fantasy and its pointless to talk such fantasy.


    Among the realistic opponents, I think Boston is the best matchup. What about you?

    Boston would not scare me nor does Chicago.

    We do not match up well with Miami or Orlando.

    I think San Antonio - without Tim Duncan.

    Sorry - I misread the question.

    If we make it that far - it doesn't really matter, since we'd have to be playing some awesome basketball.

    Going against Dwight would be really scary even with Chuckwagon. I honestly think we would be okay against the Heat, as long as we have the right people guarding the big three.

    But yeah, Boston would be the best match up definitely.

    LOL...

    As crazy as it sounds, probably Miami. Boston will have Shaq back by then and their championship experience would frighten me. I want ZERO part of Chicago or Orlando. The Magic have that big dude in the middle that would simply tear us apart and, while we should have beaten Chicago early in the season, this version of the Bulls are ROLLING.

    Well, the Pacers is the best matchup for us if we are in the NBA Finals. It sounds like I won a $M lottery last night, but it turned out to be a dream.

    I'm going to go with that 70 win Bulls team (aka, it doesn't matter who we matchup with. It will be a small miracle to make it to the Finals with this team--and I love this team, just not built for a Finals run just yet)

    Doesn't matter who we play. The Rockets haven't lost an NBA Finals in 25 yrs. We're on a roll.

    Actually not so much........ Orlando's game plan isn't usually to force feed Dwight Howard. They would make it a point to do this against Chuck. He is Dominant, but not like a prime Shaq or Duncan. I dont see him averaging 35 and 15 over the course of a series, which is what he would have to do as the focal point of the offense.
