Call me delusional but we would’ve beat the Knicks.

There’s reason to believe the Magic and Cavs both tanked their seeding in order to play us. If you look at the entire eastern bracket, we drew our worst two possible matchups. Orlando was just as big and physical as us. Cleveland has two bigs inside at all times that can basically roam with our spacing. We were 2-2 against both of them during the season. They both blew us out at one point during the season, we never once had a convincing win against the Cavs especially. Knicks got destroyed by us on every occasion. Matchups are huge and we got the short end of the stick. Sixers, Knicks, Hawks, Raptors, even the Celtics, all those teams in our bracket we had a 15-3 combined record against. Cavs and Orlando we went 4-4. Just unfortunate.
