Don't want Memphis..New Orleans or Utah would be much easier.

[edgar]

This one is official!

Utah would be so money though unlikely. I'm hoping NO drops to 8. Would rather face them then Memphis.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Well, I'd love to see Memphis play the Fakers.

Rudy Gay needs surgery, out for the season

http://www.nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/33...s-player_news/

Rudy Gay needs left shoulder surgery and is out for the season.
A second opinion from the noted Dr. James Andrews revealed that Gay must go under the knife to repair his dislocated non-shooting shoulder. No date for surgery has been set, but recovery from this kind of procedure typically takes anywhere from 3-6 months. Gay can be dropped in all formats while Tony Allen and Sam Young will start the rest of the way plus the playoffs.

[urunobili]

Other than Memphis anything would be ok... Memphis will take any team to 6 at least...

[tuncaboylu]

If Rudy Gay is out of season, Memphis can't be a problem or mismatch for us.

[jiggy_55]

Rudy is done so that means a Grizzlies series will be fairly easy..

The Blazers are the worst matchup to get, so I hope they don't fall to 8th..

[coyotes_geek]

Rudy Gay never plays well against the Spurs and the grizzlies still give us fits. Him being out doesn't mean the Spurs would have an easy series at all.

[mexicanjunior]

If Rudy Gay is out of season, Memphis can't be a problem or mismatch for us.

We lost to them without Gay just a few weeks ago...

We lost to them without Gay just a few weeks ago...

And win against them the game before.
