Not Denver.
Probably Utah and Portland.
allas could be a serious threat but they're just as likely to get swept. Depends on whether allas shows up or Dallas.
portland

allas

I think portland
there is bad blood there now
oh and lakers are 6-27 all time on road up there
What are their records against the lakers this season? I think dallas would have a better chance than denver or portland but I doubt any of them will beat the lakers.
I want them to play suns
i think all teams will lose to lakers
shaq would just get to pound on gasol and kobe 5 games
I think we all know what the answer to that is.Not Denver.

That's just mean.I think we all know what the answer to that is.
Dallas is only capable of playing the Spurs good in a playoff series. They are pretty much worthless and will most likely get eliminated by any other team.
Portland or Denver, I say.
hope New Orleans somehow falls to 8th..
Um if the question is about any western conference team then the answer has to be 1) San Antonio 2) New Orleans 3) Utah.
San Antonio is really the only right answer and its still a of a lot more possible than many spurs fans would care to admit, especially because we should give Duncan a week or so off before the playoffs.
New Orleans is the only WEST playoff team that almost beat the Lakers twice in L.A.. Even the Lakers will go to the finals again, a healthy hornets team scares me a little.
However, the Hornets will most likely not face the Lakers
i think the suns would give them the hardest time. i think suns don't make it, dallas plays them in round 1.
If Denver is healthy, and Melo doesn't have a terrible shooting night and refuse to come out of the game to top things off, I'd give them a puncher's chance. L.A. just has Utah's number, as much as I like the Jazz. Portland is too young. Are people serious about Dallas? DALLAS?!
Portland. Ask Rudy Fernandez!
This year's Lakers might be the Mavs of '07 all over again.
The year before, they ['07 Mavs/'09 Lakers] beat the defending champ Spurs and go to the Finals as the big favorite.
Then they have a crushing collapse in the finals that has them questioning their character.
The next year they use their frustration to explode to the best regular season record in the league and all questions of heart seem to be forgotten.
Meanwhile, the Spurs are quaking in their boots because they know the ['07 Mavs/'09 Lakers] are the one team they just can't match up with in a seven game series.
And then the 1st round of the playoffs happens and the Spurs are rescued by fate.
Deja vu this year? Or just wishful thinking?
This year, none of the teams impress me much in the West other than the Lakers.
Lakers will have no problem with any of them, unless they're mentally weak enough to play down to their compe ion. I don't think they will this year though.
I got the same damn feeling. Was about to post it in another thread.
GS was 6-1 against Dallas in their 7 games before the playoffs though.
LA is pretty dominant against every Western conference playoff team.
7-2 in their last 9 against SA
9-1 in their last 10 against Denver
3-3 in their last 6 against Portland (hhmm!)
5-0 in their last 5 v Mavs
5-2 in their last 7 v Hornets
7-3 in their last 10 v Jazz
4-1 in their last 5 v Rockets
Yeah... Portland's the best bet, but they can ONLY win in the Rose, not in Staples... and the first 2 games are at Staples. LA would get a 2-0 lead and win in 5-6.
After last night I wouldn't say Spurs
I'd take Utah and Portland
Portland gives the Lakers the toughest challenge, but the Lakers have homecourt so there's no way they can lose.
Portland have no experience - it's likely will be an easy sweep
Denver will also be an easy series for Lakers like last year... maybe 5 games
Dallas have a chanse against Lakers - it will be a tough series for lakers, every time they played it's a close game.
Allas????
Oh I get it!!!
God, please let it be Portland.
