I guess I might rather have GS earlier in the playoffs hopefully before CP3's body inevitably breaks down again.
This is what I'm thinking, but the first round matchup still matters. I do wonder though are our chances on taking down GS better early or late. Losing last night was a blunder, now all they can do is hope, which is a bad spot to be in.
Based on current standings:
2 - we get San Antonio (most confident against them)
3 - we get OKC (I just don't like them as a matchup for us)
4 - we get Utah (best defensively of the 3)
Also, if Houston ends up at the 4 spot you can almost kiss goodbye Harden's shot at MVP. Giannis is the best guy on the team with the best record in the NBA. If Harden is the best guy on a team getting the 4 seed in the West, regardless of how his numbers look, he will lose votes to Giannis, period. If they get the 2 then Harden's odds are still good for MVP.
