Like someone else said, I don't give a cause if we can't beat any team in the first round we don't deserve a championship obviously.

I said that in the other thread, and I stand by it! TAKE IT SPURS! COME AND TAKE IT! If not they are not good enough to win it all. 03 we had a trouble team in the Suns in round one, LA in round two! 05 Nuggets who were RED HOT! We beat them too. If you can't beat those hot teams then no shot at a le IMO.

My preference would be

Utah
Phoenix
Houston
New Orleans
Memphis

You shouldn't have posted here If you don't give a . Dumbass

[100%duncan]

I can't believe you? It's just a question of who do you prefer for the spurs to face in the first round, you're ridiculous. To all who doesn't give a , well then I say we face the lakers, still wouldn't give a eh?

Nope. If we can't beat the Lakers in the first round we can't beat them in the conference finals.

All of them are first round fodder with zero chance of beating us. Memphis might be the most entertaining though.

... I agree, but if we face them all we will win IMO! Does not matter but I would rather face them or the SUNS! THE SUNS can piss me off some but they are an out in 5 IMO.

BTW NOBODY VOTED THE GRIZZ, rightfully so lol.

In a sense, I would kind of want the Spurs to face the Grizz just to get the Spurs up and running. The Spurs will be tested in the later rounds so why not be playing at full capacity by being subjected into a round with a good quality opponent?

you have a point, but the Spurs are already proven so why do you want them to face a tough team in a first round standard?

To get them up and running. Sure they have proved to be able to beat Memphis. But tbh, the most recent win against them (home game for the Spurs) was when they played without Rudy Gay.

It shouldn't be a problem if the Spurs play solid Spur playoff basketball. The series would go no longer than 5 games.

I think now I agree, we did not want the Suns in 03 or ING Nugs in 05, yet we got them done with ease later on and won it all! I agree here. Try your heart out in round one, you will win it later. GO SPURS GO

Memphis would probably be the most physical series since they have Tony Allen and Shane Battier who defend like vintage Spurs players They also have pretty decent size at the 4 and 5. But the Grizz lack the talent and execution to be compe ive and it'd be a short but bruise-filled series especially if Rudy Gay returns less than 100%.

I picked Utah. It'd be fun to watch the Manu /Bell match-up and I think TD, Blair, and Dice will dominate the Jazz frontcourt. They could be the easiest since they seem to lack the chemistry and execution to get it done . They basically turned their franchise around whereas the Spurs have been a steady force all season, resting the Big 3.

Good point but that logic didn't work last year. Play a tough series, get raked the next.

It's obvious this team is at its best when the Big 3 are rested. We want a sweepable team. That's Phoenix or New Orleans.

this is what I'm tryin to say

[tuncaboylu]

I picked Memphis.

1- We will face against them with %90 possibility.
2- I'm pretty sure that Duncan can shut down Zach
3- We don't know ho will Rudy Gay come back from his injury.
4- Moreover they've a terrible play-off history.

[20beastie45]

Don't really care...but if iI had to pick..

NOLA

[Budkin]

Utah or New Orleans.

[Bruno]

It doesn't matter.

All these teams are relatively close level wise and none is a match-up nightmare for Spurs.
