Who do you want to face in the first round?

It doesn't matter.

All these teams are relatively close level wise and none is a match-up nightmare for Spurs.

agreed..its the 1st rd for crying out loud. Were talking about the 8th seed here people.

The Nets

I see us going 4-0 first round against all of those teams except Memphis (4-1).

Any of those except MEM preferably HOU. I'd like MEM to play LA in the 1st round. They have Gasol and Randolph to match up with Gasol/Bynum and Battier and Tony Allen to guard Kobe.

Took a look at the remaining games for these teams. NOH and UTA should drop as they only have 2 gimme games against non-playoff teams. PHX, HOU and MEM have about 5 games against bad teams. They all play each other a lot so anything can happen. Here's my prediction:

1. SAS
2. LA
3. DAL
4. OKC
5. DEN
6. POR
7. MEM
8. PHX
9. HOU
10. NOH
11. UTA

MEM holds the tiebreaker against PHX. PHX holds the tiebreaker against HOU.
