Denver.
My order (from most to least preferable)
1. Minnesota
2. Denver
3. Portland
4. New Orleans
5. Utah
6. Oklahoma City
7. Golden State (Only if minus Curry)
8. Houston
Yeah, I know its probably impossible for us to meet Denver or Minnesota this year, but I wanted a complete list.

Denver.
Utah
Blazers or Jazz.
Houston. Rough em up for others and lets go home.
Spurs have the best chance to beat the Blazers imo
Blazers.
That's why Spurs getting #6 is perfect.
Blazers.
Guests.
I think we can beat anyone besides Houston and Golden State tbh...
Any team but OKC/Utah
I'll go w/ the Blazers, as well..
Agreed. Prefer Portland though.
not GSW, HOU, or OKC.
and denver is lottery bound btw.
Pop won't allow us to beat GS or Hou so probably guests
Don't matter tbh
GSW. Play them while LMA is playing all-NBA level basketball and Curry is out or hobbled. The longer the playoffs go on, the likelier GSW regains full strength and LMA comes back down to earth.
New Orleans
Out of the realistic options, blazers or okc. Really don't want to see Utah in the first round
I want the Rockets first round Bill and here's why. I think if you get them early on and hit them in the mouth they will choke fast. and we get a better pick cheers
I’m with you Bill...Minnesota. Not sure if that’s possible at this point, but I think it’s our best matchup and gives Parker a chance to beat every WC opponent for his career.
I don't see any of the #5-#8 seeds taking care of GS In the first round unless it was the Spurs. They can beat a Curry-less GSW team.
The problem is that the Blazers are more likely to get #4 than #3.
Blazers or Minnesota, since Denver isn't realistic..
Portland doesn't play at a high pace and they have an average 3-point rate, the Spurs match up well vs. their style.. they would still win the series since the Spurs can't win on the road, but SA would at least have a shot at it..
They were missing Ed Davis in yesterday's game, which has hurt them significantly, since he's by far their most important bench player(and arguably the best bench big in the league)..Harkless has struggled, but he's another piece they were missing, he would match up well vs. Gay..
Minnesota is obvious..their bench is horrendous, which still matters, even with their starters playing heavy minutes in the playoffs..low-IQ players, Aldridge usually dominate Towns, Green has defended Butler very well..
More importantly, they shoot the least amount of 3s in the league and they play at a slow pace, especially with Butler in the lineup..
