Who do you want to see for entertainment purposes? Who would be tougher/easier? Etc...

[dbreiden83080]

I want to play the Suns on Sunday.

[BiZNicK]

The Suns are over...

Technically no, but logically yes.

[dbreiden83080]

IT's not over yet, i am too supersticious to call this over until it is actually over.

[duncan228]

The Suns are over...

Technically no, but logically yes.

I hope the Spurs aren't thinking like this. It's not over until they get 4.

[dbreiden83080]

I hope the Spurs aren't thinking like this. It's not over until they get 4.

Exactly and i know you are like me, don't look ahead there is work left to be done.

[shelshor]

I'll answer after the Spurs get the 4th win against PHX

[E20]

I want to play the Mavs. Get some revenge for 2006 WCSF, easier on the Spurs travel wise. Other reasons too, don't feel like posting them.

[td4mvp21]

I think I want to play the Suns on Sunday and win the series before thinking about the second round.

[m33p0]

i thnk we better wait for a confirmation first. this has jinx plastered all over it.

[G-Nob]

There is no round two until round one is over. Sorry, man.

[E20]

You guys are too superstiotus (sp)/jinxy is all fucking fake. The Spurs already won, the Suns have lost it, they can't win and come back.

[Admidave50]

Either the Mavs or Hornets. Even though Mavs seem the easiest opponent, I truly believe we can take on the Hornet!

[dknights411]

I wanna finish the Suns off first before we talk about Round 2.

[BiZNicK]

wow stop being retarded. Spurs got this in the bag.

But since we got weakminded ppl in here...

HYPOTHETICALLY, if the Spurs won this series...who would you rather face

[duncan228]

It's not about jinxing for me, it's about staying focused on the task at hand and not taking anything for granted. What I do or say has no impact on the team, but I hope the Spurs are still focused on the Suns and not looking ahead. The scouts need to be addressing the second round now, not the team.

IT's not over yet, i am too supersticious to call this over until it is actually over.

I am with you!!! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! U see how the 76ers beat Detroit and I would have NEVER thought that would ever happen!!!

[T Park]

Its not weakminded shortbus. its called respecting your opponent.

The Suns could reel off 4 straight wins easily.


Put this bull crap in the bag.

[m33p0]

its not about being superstitiuous. its about AVOIDING HAVING TO PUT YOUR OWNS SHOES IN YOUR MOUTH.

concentrate on the present and avoid having to look too far ahead. look what happened to the titanic.

[Agloco]

No brainer here. CP3 is just scary right now.

Were you watching when Fisher took the life out of the Spurs? Different time, different team, but I never under-estimate any Playoff caliber team. The Suns chances of winning this series are slim to none but stranger things have happened.

[manufor3]

dallas for REVENGE!!!

[BonnerDynasty]

Either one imo. Leaning towards Hornets.

[SAGambler]

I am with you!!! ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN! U see how the 76ers beat Detroit and I would have NEVER thought that would ever happen!!!

Then you weren't paying much attention to the Sixers after the AS break.

Not to mention how many times the past two or three years the Pistons don't seem intent in postseason play.

[Bob Lanier]

Hornets are an easier matchup.

[theroc5]

dallas for REVENGE!!!

ditto

[DazedAndConfused]

You gotta take DAL in a heartbeat. Nowitzki is basically playing on one leg, just keep attacking him relentlessly with Parker and Ginobli and you'll have a repeat of this Sun's series.

NOH is the only team that represents a significant challenge, outside of LAL and UTAH.

[hater]

let's finish the series first. I am afraid Suns will win Sunday and it will be a great game back in SA

[tp2021]

The Hornets have the talent, but the Mavs have experience. AT this point, I say the Spurs could beat either team in no more than 6 games.

[Behrooz24]

Mavs. It would be gnarly if we end up beating all the teams that made a big midseason trade (suns, mavs, lakers).

[tp2021]

^^^dude, that would be pretty fuckin sweet!

The Spurs are the model of consistency.
We don't need blockbusters.
Just Crazy Eyes.

[Xylus]

I would like to play the Charlotte Bobcats in Round 2.

[1Parker1]

:lol Let's wait until this series is over first.

Although, getting the 3 seed is looking more and more like a blessing in disguise. Spurs have avoided playing a physical Utah team in the 2nd round and instead may get the chance to play a struggling Mavericks team or an inexperienced Hornets team. Although I must admit, the Hornets are a handful. It's another team, like the Suns, who owned the Spurs in the regular season. But we all saw that regular season wins don't mean anything to the Spurs.

[nfg3]

I would like to play the Charlotte Bobcats in Round 2.

:lol

Actually I would like to play the Suns in every round though. :rollin

I respect those who don't want to make that prediction and instead continue to focus on the current apponent. It's prudent to focus on the task at hand and then move on. But the Spurs/Suns have scouts at the Mavs/Hornets games in order to prepare for round 2 regardless of what the record is in round 1. Also just prudent behavior.

Either team but if pressed then I would like to play the Hornets. Simply because of how they played us this season and show them the difference between the regular season and the playoffs. Play mind games with them. This team and not the Mavs are going to be the team we need to focus on in the future. The Mavs have pretty much shot themselves in the foot with the Kidd trade - see thread on this for more info. The future Hornets could = the present day Suns. Come playoff time I want that team to question their ability of beating the Spurs. When it doesn't happen then it begins to fester and grow deep down inside them. Just like the Celtics, Lakers and Bulls had the same effect on other teams during their championship runs so do the Spurs. When other teams start losing here comes the inevitable "Oh no it's happening again! Will we ever beat this team?" Hell we even had that mind set to a certain extent when playing the Stockton/Malone Jazz teams. I remember saying - what the hell is it going to take to beat these guys? (the questioning mind set) That comes with winning championships. And it's a good thing if your a fan of those teams.

The Spurs are focused and its only a matter of time before they dispose of the Suns. Even though it is mathematically possible to win this series the Suns wont. I don't believe that the Spurs will lose 4 straight games to them. This aint '04 and they sure as hell aren't the Lakers.

[BiZNicK]

Mavs. It would be gnarly if we end up beating all the teams that made a big midseason trade (suns, mavs, lakers).

That'd be the best way to go!

Let's take care of business first.

[ClingingMars]

Those who are being superstitious are idiots. This series is over, Suns and Spurs fans know it, now get your head outta your ass. This is a message board where we discuss things, it has no effect on the team's play.

On another note, Mavs.

I want to play the Mavs. Get some revenge for 2006 WCSF, easier on the Spurs travel wise. Other reasons too, don't feel like posting them.

Travel-wise?

The Spurs aren't using Greyhound.

[BiZNicK]

Don't forget that we have home-court advantage over the Mavs...

[timaios]

Exactly, the Mavs for revenge and HCA !

[DAF86]

I wanted to do this poll but after winnig the series, this could be a very dangerous thread.

I highly doubt this thread will affect the outcome of this series...

[Elraptor]

I'd want to see them go up to the Hornets as it would be more of a challenge, but seeing them against the Mavs would also be good. Ethier way, it will proboully be a good series. We'll have an easier time with the mavs though.
