Playoff Rankings: List the order of difficulty winning a series
Posted on 2/21/24 at 12:11 pm

Getting to the point of the season where playoff seeding is starting to be recognized and anticipated.
I think the Pels can beat ANYONE in a 7 game series, especially in the West. Have reservations about Boston and Milwaukee.
But, for sake of discussion, list the order of difficulty in possible matchup and winning a given series against opponent.
My list:(Order of preference)
1. Minnesota
2. Denver
3. OKC
4. Suns
5. Clippers

We don't match up well with Denver but they generally match up really well with us. And their experience level, home court advantage(Altitude), and coaching makes them an extremely difficult team to play in a 7 game series.

Denver's bench is not like last year. Thus, starters will be more winded down the stretch, is my hope. Our bench, no matter if it's 8 or 9 played is much better than Denver.

I think we could beat any team in the West.. Question is what kind of officiating we would get...
The NBA does NOT want to see George/Harden/Kawhi or Durant/Booker/Beal go home

The darlings of the NBA are the Lakers and Warriors. Those are the teams most likely to get help in a playoff game.

Just don't wanna face an L.A. team, otherwise i'd be excited for any series

This is the truth and the most disheartening part of the NBA. If you think the NFL has a script, NBA says hold my beer.

This board makes me feel so negative sometimes because I have no idea how y’all can make statements like this.
We would be heavy dogs in any series against the below teams:
Nuggets
Clippers
Wolves
Suns
We’d also be dogs to the Thunder but their inexperience could make that a closer series. I just don’t understand the confidence y’all have in Zion and BI compared to other stars that have already proven themselves in the playoffs.

Assuming everyone is healthy, don't think we can beat these guys
1. Denver
2. Clippers
3. Suns
4. Lakers
Not really worried about anyone else.

This is the list. We match up well with the wolves, OKC, and suns. I'd rather go up against teams that don't have playoff experience. I dont care what the Lakers' record is, nobody wants to play them in the playoffs.

You're confusing the word "can" with "will."

Until you show me we have figured out how to contain Devin Booker, I'm terrified of playing the Suns in the playoffs.
I think we're talented enough to beat anyone else in the west.

We've never had Zion in the playoffs. He will play more minutes as well. I for one think Zion is a series changer.
Posted on 2/22/24 at 12:42 pm to Ijuschill1
Willie said he's going to start increasing the starters minutes in preparation for the playoffs in the last 27 games. We'll see what that means for Zion.

I think we can shock any team with a road win and extend a series longer, but I don't think we have any chance to win a series against the Nuggets, Clippers and Suns.

I’ll be honest I just want a top 6 seed and stay healthy. Then just find out what this team and coach can do. BI has played one playoff series, Zion- 0. CJ and Val the only starters with legit playoff experience. I have no confidence in Willie outcoaching anyone. If I were a betting man I wouldn’t put my money on pelicans in any series unless it was the Kings. Nevertheless, injuries and crazy things happen in playoffs so who knows.
