Here's what I think; If the Mavs meet GS, Mavs will beat GS in 5, no contest. I think the Mavs worst playoff matchup is the Jazz. Jazz are exactly the tough/physical/bullying type of team that can take a soft team like the Mavs out of their element.
For the Spurs, I think their worst matchup is the Suns and Lakers. The Lakers especially, I can see taking the Spurs to 6-7 games. Duncan is going to have his hands full these playoffs.
The Suns would also want to avoid the Jazz, I can see lots of high pick & rolls and Shaq being killed by Boozer or having Okur rain 3's on them all game.
The Lakers won't be anymore of a threat than last year, New Orleans, Phoenix, Utah, Dallas and San Antonio would all beat them without much fuss. Fisher will make more of a difference than Gasol, but Nash, Parker, Paul, Williams and Harris/Terry will burn him and that's where the games will be won.
these trades just made the WEST >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>east.
I don't care what other teams do in the league. All I care about is one team- the Spurs. The only thing I'm waiting for is a healthy Tony Parker to come back. Then once the playoffs start I know the big 3 will play thier best til the end. Other teams are making trades because they knew from the beginning even when the Spurs were struggling so bad that they had no chance to beat the Spurs. Now they gave themselves more of a chance. And even more compe ion for the Spurs. I can't wait for the playoffs!!!!
The WC playoffs are going to be insane!!! I love the NBA.
Bynum defensive anchor HAH, HAH, HAH - he blocks shots but was so out of position many times that K. Brown (still a far better defender than Bynum) spelled him a times. What a joke!
Kwame was a much better defender on Duncan than Bynum will ever be. , Turiaf is better. Bynum will do an 'Amare' and spend the playoffs in foul trouble.
So either Utah or Phoenix eliminates the Lakers in Round 1?
Good times.
