I think this is only ideal if the Hornets drop down to #2. Otherwise, we face either the Spurs or the Lakers in the 2nd round. I'd rather we face the Jazz and then the Hornets than the Rockets and then the Spurs/Lakers.
We need to think championship this year. No point getting an easy 1st round if we can't get past the 2nd. I'm not saying we can't beat the Spurs or the Lakers in a 7-games series though. I'm just saying that I'd rather we face them in the Conference Finals. And I'd prefer it if we only face one of them during the playoffs.
If we move up to 3rd seed, it's likely we'd have to go through both the Spurs and the Lakers on the way to meeting up with the Celtics or Pistons in the NBA Finals. That's going to be a tiring road both physically and mentally.
