Dallas...

[phxspurfan]

...will make the playoffs as the 8th seed. Avoid at all costs for the first round (even if it means resting players to give up the 1 seed). They look like theyre going to gel at the perfect time and have some great pieces. And of course they have our coach Kryptonite

Roster breakdown:

Wes Matthews - older now, lost a step but still clutch and big game player
Harrison Barnes - Physical and can guard Kawhi
Dirk - old but smart and clutch af
Yogi Ferrell / Seth Curry - high energy overachiever type scorers -- guaranteed to go off on a team like the Spurs as all these types have done over the years

Noel - can match up w/LMA and most likely play him to a draw, unless LMA decides to nut up
Devin Harris - Noted Spur Killer (tm)

Finney Smith, Mejri - garbage guys that can probably match up with Gasol and Dedmon for boards
Dwight Powell - No idea who this guy is but will probably have a 15 point game in a series against the Spurs due to the fact he's a nobody


Again, avoid the Mavs at all costs. They're a young, hungry team that will be flying high to just get in the playoffs and well coached. These guys remind me of the Grizz team that was basically built to beat us, and did, on another 8v1 matchup (2011 I think). Just a young, hungry, dangerous team (mostly to just the Spurs since we are so top heavy and weak minded).

More dangerous IMO than the pels, who were basically gutted to get Cousins. Next year the Pels and Mavs will probably both make the playoffs (if the Pels get some good will FA signings, which they probably will).

Last time we played Dallas in the playoffs, coach Carlisle had an old DeJuan Blair play Splitter and Duncan to an even draw. It was only a stupid foul/ejection/suspension + Parker going supernova that turned the tide in that series. And the last RS game we played against Dallas this season (without all their new additions), we lost.

OP on crack.

[Spurtacular]

Dallas is probably the most cake match-up of all.

[BatManu20]

What? Lol I'd take Dallas over the Clips any day.

[Robz4000]

This Dallas team is nothing like the 2014 team tbh. They'd be an easier matchup than the Nuggets.

[Ice009]

Man, if you're scared of Dallas, just go and don't come back here. Why are Spurs fans scared of every single freaking team. Nut the up. Stop posting in the fetal position.

[DAF86]

I would give my left nut to play this d-league Dallas team on the playoffs. The is OP on?

They're playing OKC pretty fierce right now. I hate facing Carlisle in the playoffs. But they still don't have a ton of talent on this team. Face it, any match up in the West isn't exactly a cakewalk.

No, it's not a cakewalk at all. The West is tough, but if you're looking to win the Championship, you can't be scared of every team.

[phxspurfan]

Theyre beating OKC by 20 right now, dumbass sheeple.

[TheDoctor]

Theyre beating OKC by 20 right now, dumbass sheeple.

Who?

[bic50]

We shouldn't take any 1st rd matchup lightly tbh.

[Ice009]

Of course not, but at the rate fans are going on this site, nearly every team is to be avoided. That's a load of .

[TheDoctor]

ST members comments don't represent Spurs' real players mentality.

[TheGreatYacht]

Who we should avoid at all costs is the other Texas team, tbh...

[pgardn]

Yes I'm watching the game

We can pound this team inside


OKC trying to post Adams was nuts. Led all of OKCs role players to do things they can't

Why did you leave off Spur killer Barea, tbh?

[phxspurfan]

Why did you leave off Spur killer Barea, tbh?

Isn't he injured? Anyway I'm mostly concerned with the other matchups. Noel has the size and physicality to give Aldridge fits. Matthews and Barnes may be able to keep Kawhi to the 20 point range, or at least 30 on 20-30 shots (inefficient). So then that leaves the Spurs trying to go to their nonexistent 3rd option. And in a close game I like Carlisle as much as anyone against Pop.
