Are we still really intimidated by the Lakers size?

Don't be too y, a pussified Pau Gasol and confused, effortless Bynum tonite are certainly not a good things to count on when post season is around. But clearly this IS the best big man rotation that should be used going forward, no doubt about that.

You think you can take our flag and flip it over?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No matter what happens, the 2nd round will be against either the Lakers, Memphis, Clippers or Mavs. That won't be an easy series no matter what. The first 2 teams match-up badly with us, the Clippers didn't win the reg season series because of a fluke play by Paul, and the Mavs are the defending champs and will be pumped up if they reach the 2nd round.

I'm still confident we can beat all these teams, but none of them will go down without a tough fight. I'd still like to meet the Clippers the most, because VDN is such a bad coach and Griffin is an untested one-dimensional player. But the realistic choice is probably either Lakers or Grizz in the 2nd, depending on the rankings.

Yeah, you still have to be worried about the teams containing legit frontcourt size. Doing well against these types of teams in the regular season means jack unless the success is duplicated in the playoffs. The scary part about playing teams like the Lakers and Grizzlies are that they can adjust a few things to continue to optimize their frontcourt advantage. Luckily, this time around, with Pops newfound confidence and new* big man rotation, our team can too adjust accordingly.

Great post.

I want the Grizzlies in the second round, desperately want to avenge last year's playoff loss. Also would love to have Phoenix in the first but they are nothing like the team that swept us in 2010 though. Whatever, the playoffs aren't going to be easy period. GO SPURS GO!
