Bottom line these guys need to win some playoff games no matter who they play.

Not a lot, but for a team where one of the biggest issues has been inconsistency I think a longer series is better, and there should be a bit of an advantage potentially not facing the opponents #1 starter until game 2.
Plus it's one less series for them to get knocked out by a bad break.
But yeah, if you think they're going to lose out in straight games it doesn't matter - but I'm enjoying this season enough to hold out hope that doesn't happen.
