The western conference's standing

[tlongII]

If they have no size, who does? They have 4 capable bigs. I've already addressed this in some other thread. The Nuggets yeah, that's a team with a problem in regards to size. Old, maybe, but experience wins championships.



Of course they can beat good teams, even the worst team in the NBA can beat good teams. This can't beat good teams paranoia is nonsensical. They've played plenty of close games vs. good teams and they'll surely beat a few of them till the end of the season.

The Lakers obviously. Denver and Dallas have some size, but probably not enough to deal with L.A.. The kind of old the Spurs are most certainly does not win championships.

You put the Lakers in a series with any Western team right now and no series goes 6 games.

No western team would survive to the 5th game in a series confronting LA Lakers right now.

No western team would survive to the 5th game in a series confronting LA Lakers right now.

Without Gasol, I think many teams would.

The Spurs would get swept right now.

Dallas is still the only Texas team (NBA) to choke in the finals

Then what about the Mavs. They are older than the Spurs. Look at the guys who will in the rotation for them, come playoff time.

Kidd - 37
Terry - 32
Marion - 31 (32 on May 7th)
Dirk- 31
Dampier- 34
Howard-30
Gooden- 28
Barea-25
Tim Thomas- 33

Avg Age by the start of playoffs: 31.2

Spurs Avg Age: 28.6
(Rotation of Duncan, Blair, Jefferson, Manu, Parker, McDyess, Mason, Hill, Bogans)
Throw in Finley and Bonner, if you must, to make a 11 man rotation (won't happen in the playoffs) and the avg age is still only:29.5

If the Spurs are old, the Mavs are walking corpses...
