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

[picc84]

^^Pretty much.

[tlongII]

OKC would give the Lakers a of a lot of trouble if they match up in the 1st round. Their crowd is nuts down there. Reminds me a lot of the Rose Garden. OKC's best players are at the Lakers weakest positions as well.

Spurs won't be #8.

None of this that you guys have said in this thread even matters. The Lakers have already won the West.

The playoffs haven't even started yet.

LOL Luva is funny ... but seriously ....you guys are smoking that sticky even if you think a LAL/OKC series is going more than 5 games ...

thing is I know a lot of you noobs havent been watching playoff basketball very long ....but AGAIN HISTORICALLY

Young teams (first trip 2 playoffs) either get swept or lose in 5 in MOST playoff series ...

even the Bulls of last year had guys like Ben Gordon and brad Miller who actually had won a playoff series ...

I'm NOT saying it is IMPOSSIBLE for OKC to give us a tough matchup but I doubt it. If they win ONE game they would of done better than most:

Look at Memphis, Minny, atlanta, toronto portland Magic etc. of recent years they did squat the first time
and THOSE teams were led by KG, Pau Gasol Bosh Joe Johnson Howrad all went down in HUGE flames the first go round in the playoffs ...Portland won what 1 game last year and those guys had as MORE talent and MORE experience than the Thundercats ....
We beat those guys in 5 or less ...

and the only position they have an advantage in is PG ....but so does every team against us ...

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.

Hes on a cute little run right now. He will probably run out of gas by the playoffs or get hurt again.

The Suns now have home-court advantage over Denver in the 1st round, with Chicago, New Jersey, and Detroit as their next three games.

Thank you, Dallas
