Playoff seeding (wishlist edition)

[mdme]

It's really nice having to talk about playoff seeding rather than Lins and draft picks this time of year. With that said what is your preferred playoff seeding keeping things realistic (or kinda realistic)?

Here's mine:
1. DEN
2. SAC (MEM)
3. MEM (SAC)
4. PHX (GSW)
5. GSW (PHX)
6. DAL
7. MIN / UTA
8. NOP / LAC

This way, we can most likely make it to WCF and maybe have a shot at DEN?

What do you guys think?

My realistic wishlist:

1. Denver
2. Memphis
3. Sacramento
4. Golden State
5. Phoenix
6. Dallas
7. Minnesota
8. LA Clippers

I know we’re close but I can’t quite see us reaching 2nd considering the difference in strength of schedules for us the Grizzlies.

I’m more worried about the Suns than the Warriors, so I hope GSW gets home court and beat them in round 1. Denver and GSW would both be tough to beat in the WCF but neither would be as tough as Phoenix imo.

Then our side of the bracket would be wide open. Dallas is our best realistic round 1 matchup and Memphis isn’t an unbeatable juggernaut. We’ve actually played Memphis and the Mavs with both Luka/Kyrie well this season. 3-2 combined record against them.

My wish is ... to win 1st round, then 2nd and so on
You have to beat any team, so choosing opponent doesnt make it somehow easier.

Who do you wish to lose on Sunday between the Suns and Mavs? I guess the Suns? To prevent them from climbing to 3rd spot?

Well, our KINGS are only 1 game back from #2 seed. Time to go get it.
