Who would you rather face in the 2nd round?

With 23 games to go and a 6 game lead over Orlando and 9.5 game lead over Clevleand I don't think its too early to assume that the Pistons are safe for at least the 2nd seed.

The race for the 3rd seed is still up for grabs between Clev and Orlando. Orlando has a 3.5 game lead but that can change. Toronto is down by 4.5 but I am not including them since everyone would pick them and realistically it would have to be a pretty big upset for the Raps to beat the Cavs. I also assume Orlando will beat whatever team is the 6th seed.

Another factor is if the Pistons pass Boston and get the winner of 4 vs 5 instead of 6 vs 3.

All things being equal the most likely scenerio is that Orlando or Clev will emerge as the team the Pistons will have to play in the 2nd round.

1st thought would be Orlando but this is not an easy question namely since the Magic are a lot better than they were last season. Pick your poison between Superman Howard or Lebran James.

I am going with the Cavs because I think it would do the Pistons good to prove that we can beat them in the playoffs. Kind of make up for last season.
