Robin Lopez is out for the playoffs, it's all but a sure thing. Gentry said he highly doubts Lopez will be back for the playoffs. The one underlying benefit is that Lopez is a way more complete defender, but Jarron Collins is a better 1 on 1 post defender to guard a guy like Duncan. Everything else (shot blocking, help defense, length etc.) Lopez is way better than Collins and in addition is more than a useless body getting in everyone's way on offense, but if one of them is supposed to play the role on D Kurt Thomas played in 2007, it's Collins.

And I think Phoenix can beat San Antonio this year, with or without Lopez, they could have beaten San Antonio in 2007, the question then and the question now that still looms is how disciplined and focused they'll be on both ends of the court.

[Findog]

Actually, I amend my earlier pick: Nuggets over Jazz in 7, Lakers over Nuggets in 6 in the next round. Both those teams are struggling going into the playoffs.

[Amarelooms]

sons LMAO at some of these Spurs homers picking them to win it all. are you serious? I'm all for supporting your team and all, but my God at least be realistic! the Spurs will take out the choking vagina's in blue, then get knocked out in the second round.

Son the Spurs fans are the WORST...2 weeks ago they were saying their team is and should be in the lottery...now they are winning IT ALL.

God bless these morons lol

Glad to see you're such an Amare fan, Mavfan.

[Amarelooms]

Glad to see you're such an Amare fan, Mavfan.

Despite being a Mavs fan I can recognize talent and appreciate other teams/players...Amare is a damn good player. Couple years ago I explained my ID on here...inside joke and spoof from ESPN message board. 'll be pulling for the Mavs until they are out

I'll go with a rematch of last year's Finals and the Magic will win this time. They would have homecourt in the Finals this year.

[Biggems]

All I know is a Bucks/Jazz final would probably bankrupt the NBA

[Jacob1983]

True. A Blazers/Bobcats Finals would probably do a lot of damage to the NBA too.

[Bob Lanier]

I wonder how the NFL manages to stay in business. They don't even have teams in New York City or L.A.. And look at these backwater villages that have won the Super Bowl in the last 15 years: New Orleans, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Tampa Bay, Baltimore, Denver...

The NFL has to be as bankrupt as Greece.
