  1. I think the sixers without Embiid or with a weakened Embiid are the worst of the four in which case it would be a breezy first round, or he is healthy and they are the best and I wouldn’t mind taking out a top team in round one and hopefully making the rest of the playoffs a bit easier

    The Heat. Rip the band-aid off and get those dudes out early.

  3. FartrelCluggins

    Personally I’d go

    1. Bulls
    2. Sixers (no embiid)
    3. Hawks
    4. Heat
    5. Sixers (w/ embiid)

    But I also wouldn’t be mad at playing the heat. Part of me wants to stomp them in round one, it just worries me as KP has left early in like all out matchups against them

  4. Traditional_Pain_875

    Full strength sixers would be an ultimate troll

  5. PrometheusAborted

    Fine with any of them, really. We own Philly, so that’s an easy advance. Hawks shocked us the other night but we destroy them in a series. Same with Chicago.

    Miami would obviously be the hardest but even then, I think we win that series quickly. The Heat will inevitably have a game where they shoot 80% and someone off the bench scores 30 but we are BY FAR the better team.

  6. Most: Miami
    I don’t care who else, I think they are all 4-5 game series

    Personally, I’d enjoy ending Philly’s season early again. Would also be satisfying to take Miami out early and send those smug fucks home in the first round.

  8. aja_ramirez

    Easily the least is the sixers because of the embiid factor. In terms of most, I would love a shot at the heat.

  9. We will obliterate anyone in the east. Whoever is the least likely to cause injuries.

  10. Hawks and Bulls are who we are all hoping for. I also wouldn’t mind the Pacers if they continue to reel.

    I’ll be kind of pissed if Embiid comes back looking good and we have to play the Sixers. I don’t necessarily think this will be the case, but a healthy Sixers team was cruising earlier in the season.

    I still think we’d win, but the top 2 teams shouldn’t have to play each other in the 1st round. It already happened with the Nets a couple years ago and we destroyed them, though

    none of them scare me, not even the heat. We have played them well this year.

  12. Miami because their fanbase is so pathetic and insufferable…

  13. I_Set_3_Alarms

    Bulls or Heat. Bulls for the easier warmup, and the Heat to do something similar to what we did in 2022 with the Nets

  14. basedgod001

    The hawks. Just for the simple fact that it would be so funny to see them knock out the heat in the play in

  15. ericdeben

    We started the 2022 playoffs by sweeping the Nets who eliminated us the previous year. Only fitting if we do the same with the Heat in round 1.

  16. baldmanwins

    Need them to play the Sixers so I can attempt to get tickets for a game.

  17. chinesefox97

    If we can’t beat the 8 seed heat team with our roster, we were never contenders to begin with.

  18. keevsnick

    Give me the Heat. I think this team crushes them, and I would enjoy that.

  19. Honestly, we can sweep all of them but I’m not anxious for any of them. Hawks gave us trouble last year, we can handle Maxey, Jimmy is Jimmy, and the Bulls will pull some BS and be good somehow. I’d probably prefer the Bulls

  20. Obviously prefer bulls/hawks but heat would be the most fun imo

  21. I want us to kill miami first round so that i never have to hear from heat fans ever again

  22. Mistr111398

    Heat ideally, I trust the guys to get it down against them, maybe not a sweep, but at least in 5

  23. ArrrArrr0611

    I swear, sometimes being a 1st or 2nd seed is actually bad in round 1.

  24. paraplegic_T_Rex

    I like the idea of beating The Heat right out of the gate. Let’s do it.

  25. Princessk8--

    Doesn’t matter to me. The Celtics have been by far the best team all year. I expect them to beat anyone they face, though Denver will be a battle if that happens.
