I don't want OKC.
Two Questions.
Q1.) We know the west is tough as nails, but which scenario would you pick for your team in terms of the teams they would face on the way to the finals?
A1) For the Nuggets, i think going vs the Thunder in rd 1 would be the best, then the Jazz in the second rd and the Spurs in the WCF.
Q2.) Which route to the finals would be the hardest for the Lakers?
A2) I think the Lakers would have a nightmare run if they faced a combo of Portland/Denver/Dallas (in no particular order)
Spurs in the 1st round would be ideal....can coast to 4-1 series win and rest up for round 2![]()
And the trolling on this board would be fantastic.
No one's touching LA in the West so it doesn't really matter.
If West playoffs started now: LAL-Port, Dal-SA, Den-OKC, Utah-PHX.
I wouldn't mind that. LA would probably sweep Portland, but OKC would give Denver a bit of a challenge.
Jazz/Suns would be fun.
Mavs/Spurs would end in 5 games or less
Somehow playing both Dallas and Denver, but I doubt that's going to happen. I still like Denver to beat Los Angeles in a series. Dallas I'm not so sure about, but the depth of guys they have to throw at Kobe- Tuff Juice, Marion, DeShawn- and the presence of Haywood make them a huge challenge. I'm just feeling a little Missouri when it comes to Dallas playing L.A. in a series. Show me. From seeing last year's WCF I'm confident in Denver's chances. They were a couple of stupid mistakes from being in a position to win.
1. LA
2. Dallas
3. Phoenix
4. Denver
5. Utah
6. San Antonio
7. OKC
8. Portland
This would be the most ideal scenario for me..switching Utah and Phoenix around would also be good..
The Suns better win that in series, I'll be damned if Phoenix gets beat by a bunch of stained mormon s.
Portland at 8 scares me a bit. I'd prefer SA.
LOL. If the Suns draw the Spurs in the 1st round, I'll seriously kill myself. I'd rather play the Lakers or Mavs.
I would LOVE to play the Lakers in the 1st round!
1.Lakers
2.Mavs
3.Nuggets
4.Spurs
5.Jazz
6.Suns
7.Thunder
8.Portland
This is what im going to predict right now. I like the way the Spurs have been playing and think they will end up the 4. I also think Dallas holds on to that 2 seed. there schedule is pretty favorable in the near future.
i think thats pretty much a lock. i dont see you moving up or down from that 8 seed.
I too would love to see the Lakers sweep that Blazer ass right on out of the playoffs.
That's pretty much my dream scenario as well. I wouldn't mind Dallas playing OKC, we beat them twice this year with a much weaker team, and their only win was after the trade with the new guys not even practicing. With Damp/Haywood we have too much rebounding inside, we'll control the boards after the plethora of jumpers Durant will take. Neither does Phx in round 2, or maybe SA, scare me much. Lakers obviously, but also Denver and Utah are teams I would like to avoid, though surely we're gonna meet up with one of them most likely. In this scenario though it postpones a possible matchup until the WCF.
Most importantly it means that LA goes through the toughest possible schedule before they meet potentially Dallas in the WCF. Spurs or Blazers in round 1 is about as tough as you can draw for them, Denver in round 2, Dallas in the WCF. This is the best chance at knocking them.
LMAO second round sweep for the spurs... IF they get past Phoenix
Denver in the First Round, LA in the Second and Dallas in the WCF![]()
Not sure if we can make it work, but Spurs/suns in the first round obviously. They're pretty evenly matched this year unless Gentry manages the bench correctly then the Suns should be able to eek by.

4-1, es!![]()
Better than a stained, dirty racist jewboy that loves the smell of his own farts
I disagree. We're only a half-game behind the Spurs and a game and a half behind OKC. We could easily move up a couple of spots.
