They are going to be a good opening round opponent. They have a sizable front line with Jefferson, Favors, and Milsap plus Kanter off the bench. Add a good young shooting guard in Hayward and a quick point in Harris they pose some issue.
Where the Spurs win out though is bench strength. If Utah only plays 8, they will eventually have to rest the core 6 and even with Ty Corbin trying to maximize the mix, he just doesn't have the weaponry to keep up with Pop and his ARMORY.
But still, this should help put the team in the proper mindset should they face other teams with big post players. Jefferson and Milsap are going to cause issues down low but ball movement and a huge dose of pick and roll will ail them.
