I'll take Denver in round 1 over Memphis/OKC and home court in conference finals over GSW any day over a perceived better matchup against the Rockets than Clippers (which is barely the case)
If the Spurs get the top seed they might face the clippers in the 2nd round instead of the rockets!!but I think the Spurs are good at revenge so it's fine to face the clippers.

Spurs vs Jazz in round 2.
^^Yup..it's possible..but the jazz players(except diaw) doesn't have the experience playing in the playoffs. So there is a tendency of choking.
Yeah, I'd take the Clippers over having to face Houston, Memphis and Utah. The Clippers are hard but not impossible.
2nd seed's road to the LOB:
Thunder
Rockrefs
Worriers (no HCA)
Lebrons
1st seed's road to the LOB:
Nuggets
Cripples/Jazz
Worriers
Lebrons
It's an easy choice
The Clips are not as much of a juggernaut this year as in the past. Re isn't as confident and isn't playing like an all star, and neither is Griffin. Paul is coming off injury and Pierce is one year older. I'd rather play them than Suns deux
And HCA vs whoever is championship material
I rather play the clipps than the Rockets any day of the week.
When was the last time the Clippers made it healthy to the 2nd round of the playoffs?
If Spurs can't beat the Clippers then GTF off the court and call it a season.
I've settled on that, tbh..Still think the Clippers are a trickier matchup, but the advantages of HC throughout and the road ahead trumps it..Also it is not like Houston have been any easier for us; it could have easily been 3-1 for them in season series if you look closely at the contests..they were in all 4 games till the end...2nd seed's road to the LOB:

Tbh despite the match-up problem, despite Splitter being injured, and despite Kawhichael struggling the Spurs still beat the Clips in '15 if Pop wouldn't have been so unwilling to bench Enrique. That doesn't seem to be an issue this year so we should be fine, tbh.
Enrique and tiago playing like super cancers and no HCA and we have to get screwed by the refs.
OKC in the first round doesn't sound that good. Even with Dedmon, Pau and Lee on the team this year, the Spurs are still getting still out-rebounded, and most times outplayed by OKC bigs.
But Memphis is falling to the #7, I'd love to play them in 1st round.
If Spurs finish #1 it's Nuggets or Blazers, both are favorable matchups for the Spurs.
Agree. But they still give the Spurs a lot of trouble with CP3's P&Rs w/Blake-DJordan...
IDK but the Spurs match better with Rockets. Harden's P&Rs are good but their bigs aren't that great like LAC frountcourt. Also, unlike Clips, Rockets horrible D, will kill them in any 2nd. round of playoffs.
If we stay first GS has to play the Thunder instead of Denver/Portland. In that case, they might would have to rush Durant back too early instead of easing (kind of) him back in.
This, having Durant pounded by his ex teammates in the first round is much better than watching him relax on the bench while the Dubs have easy time butchering the Nugz the playoff virgin.
Well I agree.
In any case, both Clipps and Thunder seem to annoyingly punk the Spurs, so better get that HCA and put the Warriors in a worse position, then see what happens.
Knowing the Spurs luck, they will get the first seed but then the Mavs will get the 8th seed.
And somehow will take the spurs to 6 or 7 games.
Unless that leads to a 2014 repeat.
That's a rivalry. Gotta love it, as long as the good guys win. Remember, a 7 game first round against Mavs in 2014 propelled the Spurs to
You mean like 2014?
Spurs-nuggets playoff series usually turn out well.
