If the Blazers play the Spurs in the 1st round...

[tlongII]

The Spurs will be in BIG trouble! I don't see those overrated has-beens beating us.

Well this should be interesting :lol

[nkdlunch]

agree 100%

Spurs seem not ready at all for the blazers. Except, it's only february.

[Cry Havoc]

tlongIII: The Return.

[jjktkk]

Nice to see how a win over the Spurs can bring back Tlong from the dead.

[easy7]

Tlong get a jab in before he gets knocked out...

[it's me]

Lol

Duncan's legacy would never recover from the ass-violation Aldridge would bestow.

Go on ebay a knife while you're at it, every word you type in here is like sticking a dagger in my back.

son the Spurs are going to be in a lot of trouble regardless. they aren't built for the playoffs. L.A., New Orleans, Portland, Utah, and Denver would all beat San Antonio in a 7 game series.

You had me up until New Orleans...:lmao

son the Spurs simply are not as good as you guys keep overrating them to be. you would think by now that fans of a franchise that has won 3 NBA championships would understand that winning games in January and February is nice, but the playoffs is what matters. The Spurs are on a nice little streak right now, but can they keep it up 3-4 months down the road? You should know by now that you don't win an award for being the hottest team in the regular season.

[Killakobe81]

LOL Tlooooooooong!!!! Tlong is baaaaaaaack!!!!!

Duncan's legacy is already eteched in stone, while young cranky knees career seems to be going the Oden route.

Big plans for the bees. New Orleans will throw a parade if they make the playoffs.

Eteched in stone, under Kobe. :bking

You were singing a different tune when your Hornets had a hot start :sleep

[21_Blessings]

[shrug] Yeah, prolly.

Above Shaq, though.

[Brazil]

lol Tlong copying BR ...

I agree we are fucked, we have no chance at all againts the 7 teams with a least a win against us: NO, DAL, PORT, ORL, NY, BOS and LAC

[j.dizzle]

LOL Tlong is missing in action & suddenly pops out of nowhere with his chest out. The Blazers do match up pretty well with SA though, they have nobody that can check Aldridge.

[tlongII]

After the Lakers the Spurs would probably be the easiest team for us to beat in the playoffs.

[jjktkk]

Eteched in stone, and someone Bynum aspires to be half as great one day hopefully.

Funny that these threads always come up after a team beats us. :rolleyes

Honestly, the only team in the NBA that could possibly beat us in a 7 game series right now, is the Boston Celtics, IMHO.

[Giuseppe]

Same old Spurs Fandom:::can never just take a loss without rationalizing it until you feel better.:rolleyes

There are a bunch of teams that could beat us in a 7 game series. Boston, L.A., Miami, maybe Orlando, Chicago.

Portland, though? :lmao Not one of them.

Thats Bandwagon extrardenaire Blessing's MO. Show up after a Lakers win, or a Spurs loss, disappear after a Laker loss.

Christ, crc is on the rag today. Sometimes I just wish you guys would never lose. You're incorrigible otherwise.

If Spurs make the finals and Boston is healthy the Celts will win their 18th ship.

Maybe Laker fan won't be too critical if we say we were just coasting against Portland.

:toast

[LakerHater]

Yeah, I think that if Spurs play'em in the 1st round they are in trouble!!
Honestly they are the ONLY team that has the Spurs number... what are they like 0-5 against them so far?

[Xylus]

The Portland Trailblazers have been a matchup nightmare for the Suns over the last couple of years. In last year's playoffs, they took Game 1 from us and things were starting to look pretty scary.

But the thing about the Blazers is that they are always short-handed, and as a result, they have to rely on fewer guys to contribute night in and night out. Unlike the Suns of last year, or the Spurs of this year, they don't have many players who can take over games.

As good as Aldridge is this year, he won't be able to single-handedly win 4 games for his team against this Spurs team. So even though they're a matchup nightmare, the Spurs will still take this series. No more than 6 games.

[edgar]

If you have the same referees and with the same horrendous job, then you might be on to something.

Portland needs to actually make the playoffs first... Memphis and Phoenix are catching up quick...

[slick'81]

i would love for sa to face Portland in 7 games with home court but like other have said if anyone thoinks aldridge will single handidly beat the spurs 4 times their fckn crazy

[Giuseppe]

^The Suns did it flat. The Blazers could do it.

[21_Blessings]

I like how Spurs fan thinks their team is all of a sudden unbeatable in the playoffs after three straight seasons of utter failure.

They've kept it up so far.

[HarlemHeat37]

Spurs would beat Portland in 5..Pop didn't even attempt to form a strategy against Aldridge, he had George Hill and Tony Parker guarding him for a large portion of the game, most of his points came from open jump shots, alley oops, putbacks..Aldridge is the only standout weapon they have, it wouldn't be too difficult to make others beat them, since the rest of the Blazers team isn't too good at the moment..

The Spurs also played with very little energy, and were running puzzling sets on offense, particularly p&rs with McDyess..

I would rather play:

1- Phoenix
2- Portland
3- Memphis

I don't want to play the Gasol-Randolph frontcourt in the playoffs..
