8th seed is goin to OKC or SA, Denver landing 5th spot

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Is that the same Manu who manufan thinks led the Spurs to les in 05 and 07?

He's so good he led them to win a le in '99......they were so impressed by his minor league career it inspired them.

Manu 07 wasnt the same as Manu 05

[FkLA]

lol @ these Manu haters

Since the all-star break-- 22 ppg, 5.5 apg, 4.5 rpg-49% FG, 42% 3pt, 90% FT...all while orchestrating the team to play their best basketball of the season and turning players like Jefferson's season completely around. He's been a TOP 10 player in the entire league since the all-star break and arguably even TOP 5 since being inserted into the starting line-up the last 3 weeks or so. Anybody that doesnt realize what a great player he is and that he is carrying the team on his back is either a moron, a hater, or in the case of guys like dirk4mvp and DoK both.

Manu is playing possessed right now. I doubt any of the top seeds want the Spurs as their 1st round opponent given his play+Parker's eventual return.

[KSeal]

I'd love for the Lakers to get the Spurs in the first round. Sweep.

[Flux451]

I think the spurs get the 6th seed and end up playing Jazz

1. Lakers
2. Mavs
3. Utah
4. Suns
5. Nuggets
6. Spurs
7. Blazers
8. OKC

Doubt it.

rape doesnt require a sweep

Probably a worse scenario then having to play the Lakers.

[Ghazi]

Spurs will be a tough out.

[lennyalderette]

I dont care who we play, but I want to see Spurs vs Mavs first round.

this is why it pisses spurs fans off when you guys say "spurs are boring and no one cares!!!" cause when it comes down to it you freaking do!!!! and yeah you better believe were going to go at it!! manu is going to tear them an asshole i swear, oh and our last game of the season is against dallas ponies

[lennyalderette]

I'd love for the Lakers to get the Spurs in the first round. Sweep.

its not that easy with us, everyone is always scared of the lakers, believe me if you run into us with a healthy big three you are so screwed and manu will lite you guys up. im not saying well take it but a sweep is laughable

[Muser]

I'd love for the Lakers to get the Spurs in the first round. Sweep.

Nah, it'd be like the Mavs series last year. Spurs would go crazy hot in one game. Lakers in 5.

[LakeShow]

Yeah, ill give the spurs a game. They'll have a game when their 3's are falling, maybe.

What I find amazing is how well Portland and San Antonio are playing due to their fear of facing the Lakers in the first round. Lakers-itis is a good thing for those teams.

U mad

But I guess that's all you can be when you're of the opinion that Manu > Dirk

[urunobili]

CROFL LA having to go 6 games or more versus OKC if they meet in the first round

[Flux451]

Probably not. Playoffs is where experience usually comes into play. I shouldn't have to insert any previous playoff vs. regular season win scenarios to prove my point.

why would they fear a team that got anally asaulted by the Sonics?

[Muser]

Because they are a better team.

[picc84]

Like to see OKC in first round.

[tlongII]

My guess is that the teams finish like this...

1. Lakers
2. Utah
3. Mavs
4. Nuggets
5. Suns
6. Blazers
7. Spurs
8. OKC

[IronMexican]

Please no Utah in the first round. I'd rather take my chances with Dallas.

Looks right. HCA between the Nuggs and Suns could come down to their game on April 13th.

Ummm no. I would LOVE to get OKC 1st round.

Lakers in 5 is MOST likely ...
Lakers sweep is VERY possible ...

And getting blown out (Friday) was the best thing that could happen ...Lkers WILL NOT take them lightly ...will win games 1 & 2 before the Thunder knew what happened ...

OKC most liely bounces back with a strong effort in Game 3 and 4 and theams split ...

Lakers close it out at home wait for the rest of the West to beat each other up...l
