    DT, while I think the Spurs match up decently well with Dallas I really think you are under-estimating them. Their defense is again very solid and they are really deep. Spurs still have no clear answer for Dirk.
    Agreed 100%

    I would prefer this scenario:

    1.OKC
    2.SA
    3.LAC
    4.DAL
    5.LAL
    6.MEM
    7.HOU
    8.POR

    Who we play is irrelevant. What's relevant is the health of the team.

    Give me health and throw me any team in the 1st round.
    most certainly this

    It would be an utter thing of beauty if the Clippers knocked out the Lakers in the playoffs. I would LOVE IT.

    Disagree with that first comment completely. Well, obviously health is the primary concern.

    But for us, match-ups are determining how far we go.

    No we have to be healthy, I thought that was a given lmao.

    Who we matchup up against definitely matters. (see last year)

    I think we've proven we can beat Denver, so I would love a first round matchup with them. We're only halfway though, a lot can happen

    Most of you are under rating Dallas, and over rating lakers. The lakers cannot score. They are slow. They are insanely thin. Kobe looks like an aged streaky jump shooter.
    Dallas is arguably the best defensive team in the league and arguably the deepest, and are very balanced.

    Dallas' defense doesn't have on Miami or Chicago. Losing Chandler took them out of that discussion although they do arguably have the best defense in the west.

    I don't think many people are overrating the Lakers but they just pose the biggest matchup problem against our pretty weak front line.

    Sorry if I'm not afraid of Lamar Odom, Vince Carter and the crew.

    I think Tiago and Tim with Parker out there would solve most laker match up problems. Parker would average fifteen assists a game inn a laker series. Fisher and artest are almost all by themselves in terms of worst starters in the league. I guess we will see how we handle lakers in April when we play them thrice in two Weeks

    If the Spurs don't add one big, none of this matters.

    Sure, but it's way too early to envision scenarios, involving seeding..

    Spurs should avoid the Lakers and Grizzlies IMO..they can still beat them, but it would result in a tough series, with interior bullying..I'd still pick Spurs to beat LA in around 6, as there is a massive bench disparity, and Kobe probably doesn't utilize their bigs advantage, as usual..

    Memphis would be easier than last year, but I would still rather avoid them..

    OKC and Dallas would be toss-ups..

    In any other series, I'd have the Spurs as favorites..
    Everyone is forgetting about Zach Randolph. You call yourself NBA fans but continue to say the Grizz are weaker this year than last and we need not worry. Everyone keeps saying oh yeah, they are good BUT. But, but, but, the Spurs will beat them. WHY? They are missing their best player. We couldn't beat them last year, and we won't beat them this year with this roster.

    Randolph will not be his usual self the rest of this season. So it won't be the same beast as last year

    If we have a healthy Manu, +Considerable amount more playing time for Splitter compared to last year+Kawhi Leonard to help defensively and on the glass =Spurs much better equiped to take on Grizz.

    Plus Z-bo was playing the best basketball of his career during the end of last year through the playoffs. He won't be near as effective.

    LMAO. That's almost a walk in the park to the WCF for the Spurs.
