What do we want? (playoff matchups)

You could also look at this from another angle. If some opponent can beat us. Then we dont deserve to be in playoffs any longer and should go out of the tournament. So - we need to be able to beat every team. Thus, the sequence doesn't matter.

So we don't deserve to win it all, if we win. Because the Knicks beat us every time we play them lol.

The NBA is kinda rock-paper-scissors sometimes and the playoffs are depending on injuries.

You need at least other to not be lucky to win it all.
