I want Utah in the first round

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I think we'll have a better chance against them than we would against LA, Dallas, or Denver.

[timtonymanu]

well we'll need to get 5th for that matchup.

[TIMMYD!]

We would and if I'm Pop i'm looking for some way to go against them.

[Chieflion]

They swept us in the season series for some reason this season.

[DesignatedT]

utah would def be my choice also.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It won't be easy getting the #5 seed, but if the Spurs buckle up, they can do it.

I know we've lost all 4 of our matchups with Utah this season, but we were in the game until the end every time.

You dont stand a chance agaisnt anyone, and before asking for certain teams, better yet pray your ugly ass team make the playoffs because it looks grim spurt fan

lol finley troll

[timtonymanu]

its amazing how the more trolls we get, the less original the insults are.

Spurts? That makes Sporks look badass.

[rAm]

I want the Lakers. If we are going down than lets go down in flames.

[TJastal]

Utah would be a quick and painless 1st round exit at least

[Blackjack]

Phoenix, OKC, Denver and Utah, in that order, are the best matchups, IMO.

Having said that, the Spurs' only real shot at advancing (all things being equal) would be against Phoenix or OKC.

But I feel like LAL, Dallas, Denver, and Utah won't fall out of the top 4 spots.

Otherwise, there are definitely teams below the top 4 I'd much rather face, I just think it's too much of a longshot to draw those matchups.

[urunobili]

I want Denver...

[Sense]

I don't get it...

Why do you want them on the first round? Who cares who they get... really, if they lose they lose... getting Utah first is supposed to make them better?

[TIMMYD!]

Oh, man Sense, Sara Varone is so fucking hot.

Tonight's score: Memphis 111 - Boston 91 and they were playing in Boston? :lmao Menudo fuckup you need to find a better team to talk shit, Boston is just not cutting it. :lmao :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

After this game, I don't even want to face the Timberwolves, let alone the Jazz :bang

Yeah, I was speaking purely matchups.

But if given the choice of finishing sixth (and facing Denver) or fifth (and facing Utah), I'd rather be sixth; Utah broke through mentally.

[Chomag]

Better start winning a hell of alot of games then

[Mark in Austin]

Agreed. I'd rather play Denver. There's always a decent chance a George Karl coached team has a meltdown.

But I think Utah will catch Denver so I think the Spurs would need to finish 5th to play the Nuggets.

[mingus]

fuckin hate boozer, no way i'd want to lose to that guy. i'd rather lose to La, Dallas, Denver in that order before Utah.

it's hard not to find someone u dislike on one of those teams, but Boozer imo is the biggest douche.

It appears you have more to worry about after your teams ass beating you took from the Grizzlies at home last night:ihit

[boutons_deux]

w/o Tony, we'll get 7th seed = DAL or DEN, no HCA, one-and-done.

[KenziE]

bring on dallas lets beat them for a fucking change !!!

[DAF86]

1) Denver (specially if Martin doesn't play)
2) Utah
3) Mavs
4) Lakers

In that order.

[nkdlunch]

better chance thatn LA/Mavs/Denver? I agree

but that doesn't make it much better. Utah could easily sweep us, and I don't see us beating them in Utah

[JR3]

I think Utah would be the only team we wouldn't be considered a "playoff" underdog to. I like the idea of getting one of the other top teams and possibly ruining their season.

[poop]

id rather play ANYONE, lakers included, than dallas. no matter what, they play like the fucking dream team vs the spurs, scrubs have career games, they shoot 65% from the floor, etc...

i think the spurs have a decent chance at beating anyone else in the west, besides dallas and LA.

[austN Spur]

playoff talk. less than 20 games remaining. I'm getting excited i can hardly contain myself:downspin:

[CGD]

I'll take the Nugs in the first round. Manu plays great against George Karl, plus if we get Tony back he'll run circles against the older Billups. Jazz have our number this season and this Spurs team IMO isn't mentally tough enough to handle the pounding. Dallas/LAL are out of our league.

Wayne Winston's projected finish:

http://waynewinston.com/wordpress/?p=495

Los Angeles Lakers 58 24 w
Utah Jazz 54 28 w
Denver Nuggets 54 28 w
Dallas Mavericks 54 28 w
Phoenix Suns 51 31 w
Oklahoma City Thunder 50 32 w
San Antonio Spurs 48 34 w
Portland Trail Blazers 47 35 w

I think that's about right, though I'd expect the Mavs finish 3rd and the Nuggets to finish 4th.

Bottom line, I expect the Spurs to be playing the Jazz.
Mavs will get the Thunder or Suns ... Hopefully the Suns.

[TDMVPDPOY]

YEH take the jazz, so boozer can continue his mvp type games against duncan

I actually like this seeding because it gives the Lakers a harder chance of repeating...

1st Rd vs. Portland...
2nd Rd. vs. Dallas...
3rd Rd. vs. Denver/San Antonio/Utah
Finals vs. Cleveland/Orlando

That's a tough road no matter how you slice it....

[z0sa]

Give me LA. if we're gonna get our ass kicked, let it be by the best. If we're gonna upset anyone, let it be the best.

[boutons_deux]

Seems like a lot of you haven't seen any Spurs games this season.

[HarlemHeat37]

IF the Spurs can play better and actually look like a good team going into the playoffs, I wouldn't mind playing Utah at all..huge IF though..

1. Lakers
2. Mavs
3. Jazz
4. Nuggets
5. Suns
6. Spurs
7. Thunder
8. Blazers

That would be fine with me, or if Utah is #2 and the Spurs are #7, doesn't make a difference..I don't want to play LA or Dallas though, I don't want to see either of those teams eliminating the Spurs..

[poop]

anything but dallas. anything but dallas.

[easy7]

Courage is fear after it has said its prayers... :lmao

[bus driver]

I don't get it...

Why do you want them on the first round? Who cares who they get... really, if they lose they lose... getting Utah first is supposed to make them better?

thinking the same thing....who cares! lets roll the dice and play whoever!
