A. New Orleans
B. Utah
Dallas would be fodder, assuming Manu is healthy, IMO.
Mavericks.
I'm not sure if it's the blue or the AAC or what...but something about that team has always been like Spurs kryptonite. Dallas goes nuts, San Antonio goes cold. No surprises there.
I think Spurs would take the series if it came down to it, but I'd still expect a good fight from the Mavs.
A healthy Utah Jazz team or a rejuvinated NOLA team.
I hope we don't face the Lakers in round one.
F New Orleans
They almost beat the spurs last year.
Doesnt matter.
The most dangerous one's wont play the spurs (Hornet, Jazz)
Rest of the teams wont make it past the 2nd round.
Rockets, Jazz, Hornets...in that order.
And the Jazz being physical simply means they're a defensive team and thus has to resort to incessantly fouling, and hope the refs don't call it... they get away with it... at HOME only.
New Orleans or Utah would be really bad for us in the first round.
Rockets would choke, Portland isn't even a question (4 MAYBE 5 games), Phoenix would simply be Phoenix.
The Jazz and the Hornets are the two teams that scared me the most as possible first round opponent
You won't get out of the first round no matter who you play mother ers...
the team we want to see in the first round : the Suns;i don't know why,but i have a good feeling about this matchup....
the mavs would be a very tough matchup.
6 maybe 7 games to get past them
NO- There not the same team as last year, David West isnt playing like he did last year.
Denver- Although tough everytime we have played the Nuggets in the first round we end up with a championship.
Mavericks- Changed team since 06 we would beat them in five.
Houston-Dont have the personnel to beat us.
Suns-HA!
Portland- Too young and inexperienced
Which leaves Utah although deep as well as tough, I just dont think they have anyone that can guard timmy, which opens everything up for us. It would be a longer series but I think we would win it in 6-7 games.
Jazz or Suns
1. Lakers - for obvious reasons, but very unlikely
2. Mavs -Nowitzki and Howard machup problems
3. Hornets - remember last year? Despite a bad start, West and Chandler are getting close to that level again
4. Jazz - look improved from last years (Millsap)
Well I'm scared by playing Jazz on the first if we have HCA, Jazz will be physical but with the HCA I can see a 2 1 for beginning and finish the work at home.
I wouldn't like to see Mavs honestly.
1 - Hornets
2 - Mavs
utah
(a poll would have been nice)
Gotta agree here. For some reason, the Mavs have always been doing well against us. Well, one reason certainly is that they cause some ugly matchup problems for the Spurs.
I still think we would beat them (assuming Manu is healthy by then), but it could be a hard-fought series. I don't see those kinds of problems against the likes of Utah, Portland or Denver. And NO is not nearly as strong as they were last year.
Definitely don't want Jazz 1st round. NO also is really getting rolling now. Would love to see New Orleans and Utah face one another. Even if PHX makes the playoffs (they won't), they would get bounced by LAL. Bring on the Rockets or Denver. Dallas...eh.
I would love to face the Lakers in the first round
1. New Orleans - don't want to see any more Paul to Chandler oops
2. Utah - Solid TEAM when healthy
3. Portland - Youth with nothing to lose
Which team is more likely to get more tired as the playoffs go on, the youngsters of LA or the oldies of SA?
When is Bynum more likely to get his groove back after beign so much time out, in the first round of the playoffs or in the WCF?
Who would the Lakers most hate to see in the first round of the playoffs?
Do you really think that any Spur cares about in what instance of the playoffs they lose if they end up losing anyways?
The answers to all these questions are the reason why...
won't happen anyway
