It's not the finals we should be worried about
Hawks
Cavs
Let's be honest, it's either the hawks or Lebron in the finals..
IMO, Lebron is going to be more entertaining, but Atlanta is probably the easier match-up...
The spurs beat both though, IMO...
It's really only GSW that's standing in the spurs way..I'm part of the minority that wants to wait till the conference finals before potentially playing GSW...
Two series to hope that GSW loses...
This is by far the easiest path to a repeat and it will be very disappointing if they don't..GSW is on the way though...
I'm with Dale Robinson on this one...

Cavs are easier. They will be easier to contain. Hawks might all go off just like us.
I'm more concerned about threepeating right now...OKC could have a good team for KD's last run in 2016.
Sure, but this thread is more about who fans think is an easier match up..Lebron or Hawks.
this...I think the hardest series will be against GS.
Out of Cleveland/Atlanta though, I'd definitely rather play Atlanta.
Beat the Warriors and they have the le, tbh..
I'd rather play the Cavs in the Finals, btw, from a legacy/coverage standpoint..nobody would watch a Spurs/Hawks Finals, just like Spurs/Nets, etc..the Spurs legacy was enhanced to the media and fans by the coverage they received against LeBron and the Heat, tbh..
Would you rather play them in the 2nd round or 3rd?
3rd looks ideal..Hoping for a surprise in the first round or 2nd round. No way Thunder win, but part of the reason why I want Memphis to collapse in their last 14 games or so is to see them play GSW in the 2nd round..Not going to happen though.
Would be boring to watch against Hawks tbh.
Cavs or Bulls would be good.
^^^^^^ Yep, lets not forget about a VERY tough Western Conference. Spurs have A LONG ways to go before thinking about the finals right now.
Spurs need to avoid the same bracket with GSW.
Must avoid 4th and 5th seed!
Kyrie is the one I'd be more worried about, the LeBron conundrum has already been solved
2nd round, tbh..
- Don't want the Spurs to be worn out by the 3rd round like in 2008..a potentiAl series vs the Grizzlies or Clippers or Rockets could be grueling like the New Orleans series in 2008, which leaves them vulnerable to a sluggish start to the subsequent series
A 5th seed and easy match up vs Portland would have the Spurs fresh and in rhythm for the 2nd round
- The Warriors only other potential match up problem is Memphis, and they wouldnt play then until the 3rd round if the Grizz keep the 2 seed..I dont think the Spurs can rely on anybody else to beat the Warriors IMO
what would joe do in a Cavs-Spurs finals, tbh?...
Hope for a Cavs win and a Tony Parker FMVP..
Joe is going to have along series..
I'm sure my Malik has a better idea though
Obviously the Cavs so MVParker can get his second finals MVP.
But seriously, I think the Hawks would be the team - I think are possibly better than the Cavs, but they just don't have the types of players that could take a championship away from the Spurs. People compare there team first at ude to the Spurs, which is fine, but the Spurs have guys that have been Top 3 at there position at various times in there career and are NBA legends - the Hawks have Paul Millsap and Jeff Teague.

I'm sure my Malik has a better idea thoughhe isn't actually a Parker fan, tbh..
He's a Cavs fan that detested LeBron and was cheering hard for the Heat to lose in the Finals..Manu was playing poorly and hurting the Spurs, which is why Joe's entire existence on ST has been centered around hating Ginobili..he joined the forums exactly around that time
He began propping up Parker as part of his anti-Manu shtick, and he has been going with that stale ever since to troll Manu fans..now he's trying the anti-Kawhi trolling and failing..
Hawks due to the fact it'd be a sweep in 5, but beating Lebron again would be fun. As others have said tho, getting out of the West is easier said than done. As for the Dubs, might as well get them in the second round before they really get their playoff legs under them. Hopefully Portland would be a decent warm-up to get the Spurs into playoff-mode, but they aren't like last years Mavs sadly.
Not that it matters, but SA might potentially have Home court against lebron but not against the hawks.

that got been exposed for life.
Now that LeBron is a Cav again, though, he's been relentlessly hating on the best LeBron-stopper in the league..hmm..
Lebron on the heat: I love kawhi he da best!

Lebron on the cavs: Kawhi sucks and inefficient.
hawks are the easier matchup for us, not that the Cavs are particularly problematic.
while true in the moment, long term we know rings are rings. The spurs have completely whipped LeBron's ass in 2 of their 3 matchups, and LeBron had a miraculous bailout to barely squeak by in 7 one time. there's nothing left to prove in the spurs-lebron matchup
