Ideal Playoff Seed

JBIIRockets · Feb 25, 2009

Rockets Jazz first round series is possible again. Houston could be 3 and Utah 6. Or Houston 4 and Utah 5.

as long as Boozer stays healthy, Utah will climb in the standings.

my ideal playoff scenario

The ideal seed means 1)home court advantage + 2)don't face Lakers/Spurs/Jazz in the 1st round IMO.

PRINSTON SYSTEM IS AFRAID OF ROLL SYSTEM?

Obviously 1st and 2nd is fantasmo, but on reality basis 3 would be a beautiful seed.

We would play: Portland, Jazz, Mavs, Suns or NOs (personally I think Denver will be 4th or 5th LOWEST, once Nene comes back they have enough to hold on I believe)

- NOs we match up with well (now that we have speedy guards and they don't have Chandler so who can stop Yao?)
- Portland we match up with well. Bad night for Yao, reserves carried us to win. I believe stronger Yao and we can win nicely. + Portland is young and inexperienced that can only help.
- Jazz are tough. Boozer gives this team all sorts of fits as does Deron. Lets hope its not them.
- Mavs/Suns - Yea I'm going to say this *knocks on wood* if we get them we will DEFINITELY get out of the 1st round for the first time in however long.

Heres to hoping for 3/6 matchup (rox as 3) vs. Mavs or Suns or other 2 are ok, just not Jazz .

So I'm going out on a limb and saying that we're making the playoffs. The question is, what is the ideal seed for an actually playoff run (beyond the first round)? If we get the 5th or even 4th seed with HC, we risk facing the Lakers in the second round. If we can somehow get the 3rd, I'd be ecstatic. But outside of that I'm hoping for the 6th seed facing denver hopefully. The more we avoid Utah, Lakers, and the Spurs the better.

Not so sure if there is an ideal playoff seed. It all depends on where other teams fall.

I think it's more important to have the right opponent in the first round rather than worry about seeding. But, having HC advantage would give us a great edge seeing as we play better at home.

Jazz, the only team that can beat Rockets in the 1st round.
