Interesting thought, we are very close to Sacramento, we are currently only 2.5 games behind them, we have a definite chance to pass them, will that be better in the long run? Tenatively if we pass them, we will be slated against the Maverics, not a bad series, i can see us winning it, but are they better to play against than the Sonics? I just don't like the mojo of the Sonics, bad history, but also I beleive that they cannot hold onto their success that long, eventually they gotta empty out the tank, can we pounce then? Just an assortment of thoughts that may never really lead to anything...
with the new alignment - if you don't have the 4th spot (an get home court) the 6th spot is best - since you get the worst of the division winners (in the east that team could have a losing record)
I wish this team had a chance to do some damage in the p/o. I am not a believer. The Rox need to be upgraded more than what could be accomplished in season.
the sixth spot is definitely the best spot for us. the sonics are an ideal candidate to fall in the first round given their style of play as well as their inexperience. i'd much rather face them then the kings, mavs, spurs, and suns. also, if the spurs end up with the top spot, which i think they will, we won't have to face them until the conference finals.
