Neither Utah nor Lakers will play the Spurs. Luis Scola says hi.
I care about what Sir Charles says because he's usually right.
So here's the way I hear what he's saying: He's simply saying that the Jazz and Lakers are playing really well right now, which they are (the Lakers even better than the Jazz). If, say, the Spurs dispatch the Hornets within five games with their usual efficiency -- while the Jazz and Lakers beat each other to a pulp in a six, seven game series -- it would not surprise me at all to hear Charles say, "I'm changing my mind -- the Spurs are the team to beat." How many times has he done that over the years? I lost count long ago.
In fact, 90% of the time Sir Charles favors the Spurs because he obviously respects Timmy (i.e., "Groundhog" in his parlance), Pop, and the Spurs as a mature, experienced team. Charles simply bases his opinion on observations, and when what he observes changes as teams go deeper into the playoffs, he changes along with that.

I think the Lakers and Spurs are two best teams in the west, as a laker fan i gotta pick my team gona win the WEST!! haha
I like Charles. His appeal is that he's funnier than but the guy that knows BB on TNT is the jet. His BB IQ >>> Barkleys. Period.
Sir Charles is a lovable buffoon. And a Spurs favorite I might add for obvious reasons..
GINOBLIIIIII .....
barkley said he would pay to see tp vs paul
he also said he would not pay to see most games
The Spurs had some real problems scoring, especially from outside the paint, in the last part of the season. And they had a lot of games with disaster quarters. Those are going to get harder to overcome, the deeper they go into the playoffs. It's hard to blame Barkley for noticing that. When the Spurs beat the Lakers or Jazz, Barkley won't disrespect them by saying they were lucky. He'll say something like, "Lemme tell you sumthin... them boys ah hard to put away. That's why they the champins."
Manu hasn't been hitting his jumpers, and Finley doesn't seem to be able to create for himself as well as in previous seasons. And you would be hard pressed to point to any consistent 3-point threat from the Spurs in the last 20 games. If any one of those factors shows up, you'll hear Charles saying, "If the Spurs play like that, caint nobody beat em." If the situation changes, why shouldn't he reverse himself?
You have to admit, the Spurs have turned in a number of performances that didn't make them look like the best team in the West. They kept getting the W's though, and ultimately that's what decides.
Nothing for us is guaranteed. The Hornets, Jazz or Lakers could beat us. I'm not going to let comments, from Charles or not, endanger anything.
