DENVER will likely retain 2nd spot

Homecourt advantage in the second round series against Denver is a little bit of a big deal. Playing Utah (Conference Finalist in 2007) or Portland (first time in since Rasheed Wallace) is a big deal.

Thats if they win their rounds....Denver losing to the Hornets or the Mavericks isnt a far fetched idea......actually i would expect them to lose to the Hornets (if healthy)

Who to play.. Utah or Portland?

[poop]

id rather play utah that portland right now, they lack portland's youth and athleticism which always give the spurs problems, as well as having a smaller frontcourt

Denver will screw up against a bad team as well.

I mean this is the same team that lost by 40 to the Nets.

I don't think Utah's really an option for the Spurs unless the Spurs get back to #2.

My guess is Utah will end up #8 or #7 at best.
