Grizz

Grizz
Spurs get to decide the last game of the season who they want to play essentially. If Spurs lose to the Mavs, Mavs will move up to 6th by virtue of head to head tiebreaker vs Grizz (this is assuming Grizz lose to Warriors which is a given). If Spurs win against the Mavs, Grizz stay 6th and Mavs stay 7th.
Grizz
Matt Barnes and company...
Other than Vince Carter who I wish was a Spur, Grizz.
Don't matter.
Mavs, shorter travel.
You have just had the bads recently. OKC doesnt need a walkover series, Mavs will give them problem. We will sweep Memphis
Both teams should get swept, neither would make the playoffs in a typical Western conference, tbh..
I'd rather get Memphis, but it doesn't really matter..people will point out the 2014 Mavs, but that team was much better than this year's version of Dallas..
I'd prob say Memphis just because Carlisle will give OKC more of a series than Memphis would.
i'd rather play the grizzles.
Duncan needs one last series win over Dirk before he retires.
I knew the Grizz would fall. I bet the Grizz front office probably wished they would have fell all the way out. I think the Grizz are the easiest matchup in the playoffs, but either way Grizz or Mavs, it wouldn't make a difference. I like that the Rockets/Jazz are going to be the eighth seed. They both have some nice intangibles to make the Warriors work.
Make no mistake, I think the WC final four seedings will easily hold, so it should be Spurs/OkC and Warriors/Clips. The bottom four are the weakest I've seen in the West in quite some time.
Memphis of course... 4 games, +180 totals...
Mavs. Rivalries make for a more interesting series. Forces Spurs to get their act together quick and prepare for rest of playoffs.
Grizz - because they are limping to the playoffs
Mavs - if you just want to up a rival for one more time
I think Pop doesnt care.
Pop isn't sending the starters to Dallas on the 2nd night of a B2B & the Mavs are going to give it all they have to avoid the Spurs.
I see us beating either team in five.
Kawhi needs vindication. Bring on Barness, tbh.
Grizz..less chance of surprise...
This Spurs team is kind of low key slumping...we have had only 3 double digit wins the past month or so.. after that 5-game home-stand, we switched off with the resting once the 2nd seed got locked..I don't want to run into well-coached team that's been in a thick of playoff battle for the past few weeks.. as mediocre as they look, Dallas level of talent is still better than the borderline D-league roster of Memphis..

Grizzlies are obviously an easier opponent due to injuries, but neither team should get more than 1 game from the Spurs. That said Carlisle would probably prepare the Spurs better. Pop would hate 4 blowout wins and equally hate it if the Spurs play down to the opponent's level. They have to enter the 2nd round sharp so they'd get both home games. A long and exhausting series against Thunder would lower their chances against GS further.
Memphis. Easier series, can sweep, rest up players. Dallas has a better, albeit, slim chance against the thunder. Memphis would be decimated by any western conference team.
Last time we played Dallas in the first round we won the le. I'd like that to happen again.
Grizzlies. For some reason the Mavericks play well against the Spurs. Carlisle effect, I guess.
I have to say that the Zaza argument is convincing, so I'd rather face the Grizz.
