Going thru both Cleveland and Boston would be too exhausting for me - not to mention the Piston players. I only want to have to go thru one of those teams - we'll be fresher when we get to the finals. It would be cool to beat both of them, but the goal is to win the Finals - and I think we've got a better chance if we don't have to fight them both along the way.

The West representative will be worn out from their battles; if we're fresher, it gives us a better chance of jumping on them early and securing a strangle hold on the series.

Lebron and the three-headed monster in Boston are just TOO dangerous! Orlando is tough, but I don't think they're on the same level as Boston and Cleveland.
