Who Do You Not Want To Face In The First Round Of The Playoffs (Other Than Detroit)?

by masputo on Apr 1, 2009 2:45 PM EDT Comment 17 comments

After a brief lull, the showcased fanpost is back. This week, 3QC member masputo asks the community which team do Orlando Magic fans not want to see in the first round? Now we all know the answer to that question - Detroit. So, I'm going to go one question further, what's the next team peeps do not want to see in the first round? Fire away with your comments after you're done voting for the Pistons in the poll. Thanks. - ER

I'm not a Magic fan but I am curious to know who you fans would be worried about in the first round. What team do you NOT want to face in that first round?

Yeah, Detroit is the unanimous pick here

I’m kinda hoping that we get matched up with Phili at this point. That’s probably the safest first round match for us.

Yeah, Philly can't shoot 3s. I like that matchup.

Oops

I thought it was asking who we WANTED to face…damn confusing headings. But yes, just say no to Detroit.

I like Dwight’s attitude about facing Detroit. But you would rather face an inexperienced team that has never been to the playoffs rather than a veteran team that is fading away. Even if Orlando were to beat Detroit, I have the feeling it would go the distance. Against Philly or Chicago, I am thinking sweep.

Against Philly or Chicago, I'd say 4-1 in favor of Orlando.

Either team is bound to steal a game ..

Out of the teams listed, I'd be "most" concerned with the Bulls after the Pistons.

.. Derrick Rose would eat Rafer Alston alive, and Chicago has been playing real well as of late. I highly doubt they’d beat Orlando in a seven-game series but they could make things interesting.

Outside of Detroit, I don't have a preference

Miami, Chicago, Philly… doesn’t matter.

You just said!! the only team that worries me is Detroit, not even the Celtics or Calv worries my more than Detroit, and we dont play them until latter in the playoff! I just dont want to cross path with Detroit. We will be in good shape if that happen

I will see the Dolphins win a SUPER BOWL before i die(22 years and counting)

If I deleted your comment (gift of the magi & Boney), don't take it personally.

I’m all for arguments and friendly debates, but understand that I had to take some action to keep things civil around here. Last thing I want is a complete meltdown here at 3QC. Just unnecessary. So sorry about that ..
