Suns > Spurs?

[SilverPlayer]

It seems like a rock paper scissors arrangement to me. With Dallas and the Spurs being a little better.

Dallas < Lakers
Dallas > Spurs
Dallas > Suns

Spurs > Suns
Spurs >= Lakers

Suns > Lakers

Spurs look like they're on their last leg.

Too old and no hunger.

Kinda like the Suns idea of defense?

In all seriousness, that's fine. They can think what they want.

But if Manu, Parker, and Duncan are 90%+ and performing at a very high level when the WCF rolls around, Dallas will go down hard if they take the Spurs lightly. It was less than a year ago that they were trying so hard to beat us ONCE. Now they're rolling and we're struggling a bit, so what? It's still the regular season.

I just have a very, very good feeling about this Spurs team. This year. I don't know why.

Suns are fun to watch though

[Sacramental]

spurs are much better built for the playoffs then the suns are, thats for sure. but ill tell you what though, i'd much rather watch a phoenix suns game than a spurs game, just my opinion.

Hahaha... I am just the opposite. I'd rather watch a Spurs game than a Phoenix Suns game.

Dallas < Lakers
Dallas > Spurs
Dallas > Suns

Spurs > Suns
Spurs >= Lakers

Suns > Lakers

If Spurs >=Lakers
And Suns > Lakers
then you can't say
Spurs > Suns

Same thing for
Dallas, Suns and Lakers.
Dallas<Lakers, Suns >Lakers but Dallas> Suns ??

you can't use those mathematics with more than two teams or you that's just becoming illogic.

Have you ever played rock - paper - scissors? I was saying that it's like that. Each team has match-up problems with one of the other teams. Those are who I think would win in a seven game series against each other.

Oh and I didn't include Utah/ Denver because I have no idea how they will preform in the playoffs. You can never predict which player will thrive in that environment or who wilts under the pressure.

You actually think the lakers would beat the mavs in a 7 game series?

You actually think the lakers would beat the mavs in a 7 game series?

Yeah, pretty easily too. Mainly because of Phil Jackson and the fact that Kobe negates Josh Howard's impact.

Kobe can't win 4 games for the Lakers maybe 1 or 2 by himself the Los Angeles Kobe's will not be able to beat a powerhouse like Dallas. Lakers barely beat the mavs in LA. I believe that was a letdown game after beating the spurs. Mental and physical fatigue set in. They probably are still tired when they go to Utah. A lot of flying.

I could be wrong, but I think a playoff Kobe brings all of the game Wade did against you and draws the foul. If you thought Wade getting calls was bad last year, try Kobe in the playoffs.

Meanwhile Phil is really good at covering big forwards like Duncan and Dirk, and Odom is a good matchup on Dirk. He can body him up enough to cause problems, alot better than Haslem ever did last year.

I don't play rock - paper - scissors very often anymore
but you precisely can't use <, > or = to compare those 3 choices.
If you wanna talk about match-ups, ok.

I still think when it'll come to playoffs, experience, defense, execution, cohesion will make the difference, and not the fun, run and gun no defense shows.

Suns = 2 starters (Amare and Nash who don't play D) that's ok in the RS but in playoffs...
+ you don't have as many open/easy shots in playoffs, you have to work for everyone of them and since they live and die with their shoots, I'm still dubious.

Spurs vs Mavs in WCF.


Maybe.

I agree it's a bad matchup for the mavs. Fortunately it comes down to more than 1 or 2 matchups. Kobe can't guard Josh Howard for one and Terry gets to rest on defense against Smush Parker. I would go Dallas in 6 and Kobe doesn't have Shaq anymore so the defensive will be completely on him. Dallas has plenty of bodies this year to put on Kobe. Harris, Buckner, and lastly Josh Howard.
