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.

I get what you are saying, but I think you are understimating the Hornets and the Jazz, these 2 teams are very strong dude(Jazz raped the Spurs last week and manhandled the Hornets last night). The way I see is that Hornets, Lakers, Spurs, and Jazz are all very strong, so if we can get a little bit easier match up in the fisrt round to keep our legs fresher for the second round would be a good thing. After the first round there will be no easy teams...
