Lakers - No
Denver - Yes
Dallas - Maybe
Utah - Yes
Phoenix - Yes
Portland - Yes
Thunder - Yes

this team probably hasn't showed it in a consistent basis, but i've seen flashes throughout this season of what this team is capable of. At the end of the day, it comes down to match ups, Lakers are to Big and Long for us to match with. We match up with Denver pretty good, unless Kenyon Martin puts up 20 + in 4 games, I can see the spurs winning this series. Dallas would be the hardest series, and the most even match up for us, I could see this going to 7 games. Sure Utah sweeped the season series, but those were also the best 4 games they've played all season, the odds of them playing at that level again are slim. Phoenix, not to worried about. Portland and thunder would be more difficult if we didn't have home court, those young players are still in college mode, they feed of the crowd.

lol at maybe for Dallas. Spurs are the only team the Mavs know they can beat for certain lol

Too bad the Mavs can't face the Spurs in four straight series, then they might get that next championship.

At this level of play most likely few to none IF the Spurs make the POs. Fans might like for them to miss them and get a higher draft pick and get someone who might help out immediately. I say mgiht since rookies can be hit or miss. Most players on the ohter hand want to make them regardless, especially those lower on the food chain. It's another paycheck even if you lose and since several on the currrent roster wont be coming back what do they care about the Spurs future?

I agree with z0sa - bump this thread when we have a better understanding of what seed if any the Spurs might have.

Why do so many of you believe the spurs won't even make the playoffs ? Sure, they're 3 losses away from missing the playoff completely right now, but they're also 4 games behind from being the 2nd seed.

The Spurs had about the easiest record in the league from the beginning of the season through the all star break, with a lot of games at home and a lot of games against weak teams. That turns around going forward, and they have begun the final stretch by almost losing to Indiana and getting their asses handed to them by Philly. The opposite question should actually be posed to you, because all the evidence points to the Spurs sliding further down in the standings as the season wears on.
