Celtics. Their offense is iffy, but their defense is still very strong.
Miami. They have star power.
In the west, only Spurs.
Personally, I don't see any team better or that equals the Spurs today.
But if I have to take one team who scares me it's the Heat only because the whole world would be behind them and all the hype the media would make to support them, and even the NBA would favorise them in every way...

The Spurs have a winning record against all remaining West teams, including a blowout victory over each of them. No real worries for the Spurs until the Finals, and even then, we should be able to take Miami or Boston in 6.
Lakers, Miami worry me the most
Miami and Boston. The west teams are no big deal for the majority. I would call Lakers a threat to us, but they are probably going to end up losing to Nuggets in Game 7.
Don't over look the Pacers
Celtics always play out of their minds vs SA
rondos turns into steve nash when he plays SA draining every jumpshot hes never made in his career
Lakers wont win g7 tbh
MIA, OKC
I don't expect a fairly officiated series against either. It's going to be very tough.
At this point the only team I would question the Spurs chances against is Miami. Spurs will have to throw Leonard and Green at guys like Wade and Lebron. Rookies vs. guys who get more superstar calls than anyone in the league is a worrisome thought. Obviously the Spurs bench is wildly superior to the Heat's but constant foul trouble to key guys could up the rotations and rhythm of the team.
It's all shaping up pretty good for the Spurs. If the clippers can finsih of the grizzlies then we should have a fairly easy second round. If the lakers or nuggets are able to give the Thunder a tough 2nd round then we should be facing a pretty worn out Thunder team in the WCF. I see Miami making it to the Finals but they have really tough ECSF and ECF matchups in Pacers and Celtics. Miami should be good and worn out by the time the Finals gets here. I could see Miami potentially going through 14 more games before reaching the finals. I see Spurs going through 9 or 10 MAX before reaching the finals.
Thunder, by far. They have size, they have outside shooting, they can run or play halfcourt, they have experience, and they have good coaching.
Talking about the team, not the fans.

Definitely OKC. We'd have to play really well to get out of a series with them alive, and even then I see it as going 6-7 games.
If we got to the NBA Finals, I'm confident we'd overcome the Heat (or anyone else, for that matter). I think Miami are vastly overrated, and will get found out when up against a team as good as the Spurs.
Heat, no question.
Spurs would get throttled.
Heat. Even though we'd probably win they have a scary amount of talent.
Heat will be no problem whatsoever.
I guess just about every team's been taken, so I guess I'll go with Denver. Speed and quickness can cause the Spurs all kinds of problems. They're about to take a giant dump on the Lakers and they have no fear. They're playing with house money.
Grizzlies
Heat
Thunder
Lakers
could all beat us in a seven game series
Grizzlies are no problem for Spurs
Heat will be cakewalk for Spurs
Thunder will take us to at least 6 games before losing
Lakers will only win game 3.
Oops... somebody's got a case of the 2011's. Don't fear the Grizz, why is everyone so worried about Memphis, Charles Barkley is full of . Never underestimate your opponent and never take them for granted. Hasn't the Lakers series taught you anything?
Let's hope that's the case. The Lakers you see now won't be the Lakers we would see IF we met them in the WCF
