Houston or Lakers
Honestly, I want the damn Lakers. I hope we end up 4th seed and Lakers get the 5th. DeRozan has to get over that stigma of losing against LeBron once and for all.
EDIT: I realized it's maybe a little too premature, but it let's dream big LOL

Lakers. Just to kick them out of the Playoffs, since we can't make the finals anyway that would give me enough satisfaction
Just avoid the Warriors. I think SA would have a chance against any other team in the bracket, so the longer they go without hitting that Warrior Wall, the better.
This. If the Spurs D can improve, really only the Warriors would be impossible to beat. Not that certain teams wouldn't be favored against the Spurs, but only Dubs would be near insurmountable.
Realistically? Toronto.
So you would prefer the 6th or 7th seed over the 4th or 5th? Assuming, of course, that GS gets the 1 seed.
Dunno. Like if the Rockets were the fifth-seed, I might still prefer to be fourth. But yeah, I might tank a game to drop from fifth to sixth if that gets me to the other part of the bracket.
Rockets or Lakers. Any other team I think spurs would struggle with.
The west is so stacked, at this point we don't even know if the Lakers will make the playoffs let alone a 5th seed lol
Anyone but the Warriors or Pelicans. We stand no chance against either of them.
calm down
season just started
we are not a lock for playoffs to start with
No lock on making playoffs plus some key players need to be added to the roster somehow, can’t have Cunningham be our starting sf long term, not sure a rookie should either
Who is thinking about the first round? Realistically?
Anyone. Making it to the playoffs with this group will signal a successful season.
No one we need a high draft pick in a big way.
but seriously who will make the west 8 spots?
but if the spurs do make it, depending on matchups, spurs could easily advance to 2nd round...(want portland or denver, they look like easy teams that spurs always have their number)
Winning in the 1st round will be a huge success I guess. The rockets are now all of a sudden a question mark and they have a injury prone 34 year old Chris Paul and a team cancer in Melo. The west might be more open than we think. That's of course until anyone runs into the Warriors, then it's a wrap. An angry and focused Derozan will make the haters eat crow, that I can promise with certainty.
Denver vs Spurs would be a great series. DeRozan always destroys Denver.
Oh Chinook, I can always count on you for a good laugh. They've played two playoff teams and got destroyed. They've played three non playoff teams and won 4 games by 5 points or less but could have easily lost them all. They're 19th in SOS and they're one of only two teams, Sacramento being the other, to be in playoff position with a negative point differential. They've won two road games in 7 months.
As currently constructed, they're hardly a playoff contender barring a complete unforseen meltdown by Houston and OKC. This team rarely makes impactful midseason trades and they don't have tradeable assets without it being an addition by subtraction. Your best and only hope is that DW is lightning in a bottle and LW becomes the second coming of DG overnight because there is no way in Forbes and Paddy will lead this team to the playoffs, let alone win a series in the playoffs against any team not named Golden State.

And Denver's offense would destroy the Spurs' defense.
