Is Pop giving anyone the night off against Minnesota?

[DJ Mbenga]

the spurs 2nd squad can probably beat the wolves. even tanking can backfire

I still don't understand this mindset.

Easy.If you are afraid of them it's because you believe Lakers are the best of team of the west.They are going to be in the WCF anyway .

I'm sure players like Tim or Manu will be better in the first round than
begining of the playoffs than 12-14 games later . (Tim's numbers are going down every week since January).Bynum will be out of rythim......

We have more chance to defeat them now.We saw that in 2008.We were exhausted in the WCF.Now 2 years later our big3 isn't younger.

I don't mind if we are out in the first round or the second round.I only want to win the championship.If we can't do it then I don't see why to play more playoff games is good for us.The fact is that it will be even worse if players like Tony or Manu are going to be in the World Championship.

To win 2 series to lose with the Lakers or to lose with the Lakers now it's the same for me.There's not tle anyway. We aren't the Mavs or the Suns.We have 4 tles.We aren't playing to pass one or two series.



To advance to the finals If you are 8th you will face the lakers and one between the 2nd and the 3rd seed at worst scenary.But if you are 6th or 7th easily you could face all the 3 best records of the west.

it's called ---seeing things as they really are---calling a spade a spade---

meaning that the BEST chance that the spurs have of getting to the 2nd round is to play the LAKERS!---who happen to be in as bad a shape as anyone--going into the playoffs---

believe me---the lakers are praying for this;

that they can squeeze by the first two rounds WITHOUT any big battles---so that Kobe and Bynum can have extra time to heal---and for their team to get back in a groove that they had a couple of months ago---


they do not want a first round TEST....

everyone here thinks that the LONGER you avoid them ---the easier the path will be----

but Dallas/Denver/Phoenix/Utah---are NOT pushovers and ---back to the lakers----

the OPPOSITE IS THE TRUTH----the LONGER you wait to play them---the BETTER--prepared THEY will be....


think about it ----BEFORE---just assuming that AVOIDING them is the easiest path.....

Ehh that's pretty questionable...oh well we won't be playing them anyway
