Doesn't matter if we are 1 or 2 seed, as long as we avoid lakers 2nd round

[Horse]

avoiding anyone especially the lakers we need to get out there and prove that last week was a fluke. Right after that game we beat two of the hottest teams in the league at the time phoenix and memphis. laying down attack the giant gary coleman get him in foul trouble push pussy pau around and let kobe go chuck mode and we'll be fine.

lakerfan scurred
can't stop posting how scared they are
using one fluke game as an indicator of anything

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's not a fluke that Tim Duncan looks like a whenever he goes against LA. In fact it's becoming quite commonplace.

Sucking the nuts of a rival to talk smack about the Lakers bc your team is helpless against them

Stings, don't it?

Says a Suns fan, a team the Spurs have thorougly dominated in the playoffs except for one year.

you guys have way too much time on your hands. thinking all these scenarios and . Pop just rolls with whatever Bonner wants to do

[dbreiden83080]

This isn't really something you can control because how close the Clippers now are. Spurs lose tonight and they are tied again with OKC but win tonight and Lakers are tied with LAC.

[Manu-20]

I still will go on record of saying the spurs can beat anyone including the lakers in a 7 game series people on here make them sound as if they are invisible which they are far from Id say spurs in 6 or 5 to much depth on spurs side.

Sorry, STILL haven't jumped on this bandwagon. "The General" is another story. He can be so damn... ehrmm... "random" to say the least. Hopefully (HOPEFULLY) the last game against The Fakers has drilled into his skull, even just a little bit. All we can do is hope.

ppl thinking Pop looks into playoff matchups are delusional.

All Pop cares about it resting his players. he doesn't give 2 s who he rests them against, regular season moral victories, which seed we end up with, which team we play in round 1. He doesn't give 2 s.

I disagree. Pop plays the media like he doesn't care, and so do the players, but it's all bs.

There's nothing wrong with playing the odds with seeds and avoiding a certain team... it's called strategy. It's a flaw to put honor on an incredibly unrealistic pedestal. You play to win.

LA wont beat OKC. We can beat OKC.

well, this is not anything close to reality based.

a) Not only is Pop not playing a tank game, Pop is not spending one microsecond thinking about tanking at all.

b) What does it matter whether the Lakers are met in round 2 or the WCF? And how can you even think that you are controlling things so that some outcome of who you meet in later rounds is somehow made more probable? There are so many variables and so much that can happen in the next few weeks as the season winds down and the first round happens, that you may end up finagling yourself into a situation that's not what you expected.

c) No one gets "worn down" in the playoffs. There are no back to backs, there is sometimes more than one day off between games, and there is much less travel. The playoffs are much less taxing than the regular season.
