Clips will be more worn down and have less experience overall.
I'd take the clips, but boy do I hate the Grizz!
Revenge would be sweet, but they would take a lot out us and weaken us
physically a lot more than a Clip team would.
Go Clips!!
Miami worries me
I don't think Spurs will be able to keep Wade/Lebron out of the paint very well, or off of the free throw line, Wade is a good actor, he gets fouled every time he thinks about driving to the basket

lolwut?
Yeah, we all know you're rooting for the Clippers--and rightly so.
Utah has a size advantage like LA and MEM, but their offensive perimeter play isn't good enough to alleviate focus off of Al and Millsap, thus SA's dominance so far. Not to mention Gasol and Randolph/Bynum are better duos than UTA's big men.
Add Gay and Kobe to the mix and things don't become so easy.
If the Clippers beat Memphis, are they really the weaker team?
Personally, I don't care. On the one hand, I think the Clippers would be easier. On the other hand, I'd like to see the Spurs get revenge on the Grizzlies and dispel this notion that "they can't handle their size" (the Spurs' health and Grizzlies defense were the biggest factors in that series). But it really doesn't matter, because neither is beating the Spurs. In fact, either would do well just to get it to a sixth game.
Barring injury, it's going to take Bynum and/or James consistently playing out of their minds to deny this team a le.
Bump.
So far, can't really complain about the playoff road for the Spurs. As it turned out, getting that first seed has made things a whole lot easier.
Too bad that the Spurs are destined for a huge test next round if they advance. As easy as these first two rounds are on paper, Thunder/Lakers and then Heat is an extremely daunting last two rounds. Only the 2005 run could possibly compare.
I am waiting for the Ten Reasons The Spurs Could Sweep The Clippers.

2003 can also compare, imo.
Mavs and Nets?
Damn, what do you want, the streets paved in gold on the way to the championship? A team should have to be tested to win it all....hence winning it all translates to being the best team.
I want Thunder, then I want Miami.
This way, not one sports scribe can ever doubt that SA deserved this 5th ring. There will be no doubt who was the best team....no asterisks this time, Phil Jackson.
scribes, give me the ring.
Is Bosh in danger of being out for the playoffs?
I'd like the WCF to be canceled after both teams pull a Malice in the Palace Part 2 and then I want the Spurs to play the Sixers in the Finals.
Just tbhing, tbh. I couldn't care less about the size of a mythical asterisk.
MIA stumbling is making things interesting. While Boston is solid and savvy, there's no doubt that playing them or Indy makes getting a ring much less daunting.
OKC is beasting though - I might have to change my #1 & #2 with okc now the worst match up and la two. Lakers are just too inconsistent. If they could play disciplined there's not doubt in my mind they are the worst match up.
Oh, thank goodness Spurs got the Clips.
Not really. Games are closer but the result is the same.
Thunder is the worst followed by the Lakers.
Yeah playing the Lakers would not be worse than playing the Thunder. Don't see how anyone could see it that way after watching the last month. OKC is a much better team.
Climbing up the ladder...
As well as the Thunder look, we have to remember they are built perfectly to beat the Lakers. The Lakers can't defend point guards or mid-range shots and the Thunder have a star point guard and are the best mid-range shooting team in the league.
So while the Thunder and going to look really good against the Lakers, that's only natural. I still think that the Lakers are easily the more difficult matchup on paper for the Spurs. That said, the Thunder are entirely capable of beating the Spurs in a series.
they haven't even looked that good against LA
People are really overatting the thunder spurs in 5 at most.
HHhhhmmmmm... I kinda' have to agree. They need more "battle-testing" from The Fakers first, tbh.![]()
