Warriors Clips is also must see TV ...
OKC vs. Mavs
The two teams match up relatively well, and Mavs are the mostly likely low seed to upset OKC. As a Spurs fan, I want OKC out of the picture or severely tested asap.
Pacers vs. Heat
Last year was great, absolute brawl fest. This year, with Bynum in the middle, the Pacers will be even better.
Spurs vs. Heat
Revenge
Rockets vs. OKC
Emotions will run high, and I would love to see how Westbrook will react to the thuggery of Beverly. Also, Harden vs. old team, and both teams with immense talent and bad coaching. Could be interesting.
Washington vs. whoever
Just want to see how Wall will do. Very underrated player imho, but will see if I am right or wrong in the playoffs.
Spurs vs Lakers
For old times' sake, and one last hurrah for MVPau with the Lakers. But alas, somethings are just not meant to be.
Pussy..
OKC/Memphis, just to see that got Durbeta have to deal with physicality....
Clippers/OKC would be a good matchup IMO.
Mavs wouldn't win one game tbh. I'd like to see:
Spurs vs Mavs
MethKC vs Grizz
Clippers vs Guests
Rockets vs Dubs
In the East I'd like to see Miami vs any two of Indy/Chicago/Brooklyn. The rest of the EC playoffs would be irrelevant.
Like 5.
tee, hee.
Maybe if they change the playoff format to include 14 teams from each conference. Then they'd draw the 1 vs. 14 matchup. And even then, the Lakers would really have to battle for that 14th seed with Utah and Sacramento...only to be swept again.

Lots of good choices here. Pacers/Heat is my top choice, luckily it has a very high chance of happening.
Others include:
Nets/Heat (Heat in 5 or 6 but those teams just plain don't like each other)
Clippers/Grizzlies (Grizz are better than their record says cause Gasol missed so much time, what better way for the Clips to show they've turned the corner than beating the Grizz, would be a great 3/6 matchup)
Spurs/Thunder (with both teams fully healthy, hard to call)
Spurs/Heat (about as even a matchup among top teams as this league has to offer)
Bottom of the list (of likely matchups, no Wizards/Mavs crap) is probably Raptors/Bobcats.
do you want a ing medal?
I'd also love a Spurs/Bobcats series tbh.
Just realized Blazers never made anybody's list so far
Maybe Blazers vs ..... nah, can't think of anything.
I'd rather see Spurs-Heat than any other series. Even over Mugen's Spurs-Bobcats suggestion
I'd be okay with Spurs/Hawks as well...
Blazers aren't a fun team to watch IMO. It's just Lillard/Matthews/Batum/Mo chuckin' up 30 footers which I'd rather see Curry/Klay do tbh. LaMarcus also has one of the most boring styles of play....
22-44
48
lakers
...it's just too easy with them.
Besides the standard match ups everyone wants to see like Clips/Rockets or a Spurs/Heat rematch, I agree with OP that Mavs/OKC would be an intriguing first round match up. You have a better team in OKC but better coaching in Dallas...and the Diggler is always dangerous in the post season.
SA and Housotn would be a good series. Not sure Spurs fan wants that match up
FWIW, a Heat/Wizards series would be fun to me for some reason. Especially if Nene comes back healthy tbh.
No one wants to see a Heat/Thunder rematch?![]()
they dont, thats why they keep listing houston vs teams that will beat them so spurs dont have to worry about them
