Bulls, although if we're healthy, I'd like our chances against either.
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Assuming the Spurs make the Finals for the 3rd year in a row, they're almost certainly going to play either Cleveland or Chicago in the Finals. Which team do you think the Spurs are more likely to beat in a 7-game series?

Cavs. Duncan beating the bulls wont mean crap, beating lebron for the third time though...
Spurs probably beat Cleveland in 5, they have all the tools to expose them..I'd be surprised if they're the same roster in June, though, I suspect Waiters will get traded..
Bulls would be a tougher matchup, but I think they'll still struggle to score in a series against the Spurs, not to mention that Rose will probably be hurt by then..
i'd be confident against either. the Bulls would likely have trouble scoring down the stretch, but I'd think we'd be able to bend the Cavs over like last year's Heat, except worse
Cavs, Bulls won't make it out of the ECF
Cavs because I don't want to face the length of the Bulls.
Bulls have no chance yet again, Rose is done
Cavs, I'm not sure Varejao will even be healthy, that guy is made of glass, an injury to him would be huge, their defense is garbage.
Plus Lebron looks mortal, Leonard will have a much easier time guarding him, that weight loss looks like it really affected his game, guy can't bull his way through everyone. Then a Splitter on Love, he's mobile enough to guard him, Green on Irving, voila.
Bulls are not beating the Cavs in a 7 game series. They still struggle to score, Rose is still unpredictable with injuries, Gasol is clearly not the same player he was even, say, 3 years ago, and they don't have much depth.
By year's end, the Cavs will beat them in 5, maybe 6 once they meet in the playoffs. Cavs will definitely represent the East in the Finals.
Either/or provided the Spurs are fully healthy. Would be kinda funny if Duncan ties MJ while beating the Bulls in Chicago tho.
Bulls, because they're a poor version of the Spurs.
We're better on both sides of the ball and they don't have anyone outside of Rose that's seriously going to hurt us.
Cleveland has several players who could give our defense issues, although Parker would eat Kyrie alive in a 7 game series.
The Bulls will play better defense, but their ceiling isn't close to Cleveland's.
I am a Bulls/Spurs fan and trust me you wouldn't want to play the Bulls in the Finals if healthy and motivated. Winning in Chicago in the Finals is very tough. The Cavs would probably be the ideal Finals matchup for the Spurs because the Spurs beat them in 2007 and LeBron still has the 2014 Finals hanging over his head and the pressure would be enormous to win an NBA le for Cleveland. Either way though neither matchup imo would be a cake walk for the Spurs, it would take the Spurs 6 or 7 games to beat either team and both teams could potentially upset the Spurs so you better hope the Wizards, Raptors or Nets get to the Finals.
LMAO, it's just an ankle sprain man.
Duncan would be so hated in Cleveland, Bulls fans would just be happy to even be in the Finals again.

The Cavs. Not that i think they are better than the bulls, there's just better story lines to add to the growing legacy of the Spurs. Should be fun either way.
The Cavs. Their number two and number three options have never played in a playoff game. Kyrie Irving was aasking a teammate last night, during game two of the season if this is what the playoffs are like, lol. Also, the Cavs have even less inside presence than the heat did last year. The spurs would eat them up.
Lol at Bulls/Spurs fan. Get out of here you bandwagoning .
It's always fun beating Lebron. And seeing Cleveland have another Championship opportunity dashed....priceless.
Spurs win one le in the last 8 years and suddenly spurs fans are acting like laker fans from a few seasons ago...
lmao
How bout the spurs stay healthy and hopefully get out of the west again...then worry about the finals opponent.
Laker fans were obnoxious assholes after the '09 le, and at the time it was their first in 7 years. Unlike that Laker team, the Spurs are also fresh off 3 WCF appearances and 2 conference les. You're just being pessimistic so you can play the win/win card.
As for the thread, I'd choose Chicago. Variety is the e of life, and it makes me happy knowing Tim would have eliminated over 1/3 of Eastern Conference teams.
Plus, Duncan winning #6 against Jordan's franchise team would be the greatest story no one ever talks about.
Bulls. Its a safer bet for tim's 6th ring. and lebron dun get a ring.
Even though it may be sweet to defeat lebron again, theres still a slight chance the league decides to let lebron have his "redemption" year this year.
So, its still safer to just face the bulls instead of cavs, and there would be no way lebron gets revenge on timmy.
I say Cavs, but in the end, it doesn't matter, because the team that comes out of the West will win it all.
Bulls... PG led teams dont win les![]()
