We have to lose tomorrow and play against Houston

If SA and Suns lose, we get Houston.
If SA & Suns win and Houston loses, we get Houston.

With Houstoin, HCA does not matter to SA. I can not think of any other way we can avoid both Utah and Phonix.

IMO it's the best option.I find a semifinal against Denver or Lakers easy too .
I don't want Phoenix in the first round and Dallas in the semifinals.If we win we could be very tired to play against Utah or Lakers in the final of the west.

I agree that Houston would not be a tough matchup in the first round but the Lakers have too much size and depth for the spurs and would be a difficult matchup.

This isn't every year and I heard this same bull in 2006 about Dallas.

WAKE UP !!!

The Spurs aren't the best team in the west and we sure as ain't better than Phoenix. Kerr gave them an opportunity to advance past us by adding Shaq and moving Amare out of having to guard Duncan. Now Phoenix is just going to man up instead of having to double and leave shooter's open on the perimeter. And they even can throw Hill on Tony if/when Tony abuses Nash.

Facing Phoenix in the first round is not a recipe to win back to back les.
