Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
So far, the Mavs look like more of a threat than LA, tbh. That will probably change later in the season, when the Lakers go on their inevitable run, but right now, it's all about getting that #1 seed and making DAL/LAL play each other first before they get to us.

Please tell me your kidding. Odom is the worst nighmare of a matchup for Bonner. Odom runs circles around Bonner.

Disagree. The best we could hope for is that Gasol and Duncan cancel each other out.

Agree on Splitter needing to be effective in this series. As far as Blair, either he and/or Bonner have to at the very least, be able to spell the Spurs bigs for at least a couple minutes here and there in the series and not be a liability when they are out there. That might be asking alot, but IMO Blair and/or Bonner have to contribute in this proposed playoff series with the Lakers.

Sounds like a good idea, hope CIA pop is reading this.

Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
As it stands right now, only 3 teams have a shot to come out of the west and that's San Antonio, Dallas, and LA. LA has the best chance to come out because of their size with San Antonio and Dallas right behind them, imho.

Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
Against the Lakers, it will come down to three point shooting as it always does. If Bonner and RJ shrink up under the bright lights, we have no shot. We need a Jaren Jackson or Stephen Jackson type playoff performance from someone to beat those guys.

Webber, Stojakovic, Christie, Divac, and the rest of the bunch have nobody to blame but themselves. Bibby is the only one with a legit gripe. The rest of them were career choke-artists.

+1. IMO, if you truly consider yourself a title contender, you want to beat the best.

Not if you are one of the top 3 teams that have a shot to win the west

Agree with OP. Not looking forward to seeing Chandler pwn our frontcourt tbh.

I don't see how that makes a difference.

Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
You be trippin if you think we can't take on LA, even last year we could go with them.
They may have the timber but who's going to run with TP....way to quick for the fish.
I think we match up with them pretty well and can beat them easier than Dallas

Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
i actually agree with this. i just hope the spurs don't do the lakers a favor and knock out dallas for them.

Re: In order for SA to win a title this year....
LA has had EZ playoff matchups because of their seeding, time for the spurs to do the same.
