The Spurs, IMO, are still their own worst enemy.
One would think it would be dallas and phoenix but both have been terrible thus far
maybe clippers and NO might be the closest rivals

Kings or Rockets? Utah? Okur always kicks our ass
Spurs should be the class of the Western Conference. But, I don't count out Dallas or Phoenix out at all, even with their respective poor starts. And, I think New Orleans will drop off, but they have been solid to start the season.
Houston will still present a problem should they remain healthy enough.
And, I think Utah always plays hard enough to be in every game. They might not have the most talent, but they are very solid upfront, and in that weak division, they might be the best. They always play hard. Sloan coaches them to play smart. If they can get consistent outside shooting, they could be a legit threat.
new orleans looked decent last year as well... until they lost like 10 games in a row (or 10 of 12 .. something like that) late in the season.
We'll probably got 2-2 vs Hornets in the season, but they aren't mature enough to get out of the first round.
IMO, it's still the Lakers. No team with Kobe coached by Phil Jackson is going to stink two years in a row.
Terrible enough to take us down to the wire when we played them.One would think it would be dallas and phoenix but both have been terrible thus far

Nice to see someone acknowledge the elephant in the room.
LA of course have the closer and coach to give SA fits. They also have the most size up front (Bynum, Brown, Turiaf and by playoff time Mihm) to throw different kinds of looks at SA.
The matchup would be old school - none of this uptempo no D approach. Just halfcourt basketball.
The wildcard would be Odom's versatility vs the Spurs experience. If Spurs fans thought Bonzi was a beast, an aggressive Odom would be even worse. On the flip side, LA may be young and confident but there is nothing compared to being through it all before and not being shook.
Clippers may be the outside bet
they have the size and defence to challenge the Spurs
They also have a deep bench and are well coached. Tim Thomas also showed that he can step up in the playoffs like he did last year. Cassell is also very clutch in the post season.
clips will be up there now and for plenty more years.
True but now they have added Peja, Jackson and Chandler.
you are ing re ed. we are only through the first week of the season, and you already are going to say that the clippers and hornets could be bigger threats?
I would agree. I have always liked his game but sometimes he lacks focus. When he is on, he is deadly.an aggressive Odom would be even worse
Learn to read dip
I said both have struggled thus far so MAYBE the clips and Hornets could be the closest rivals. Both dallas and suns look like garbage right now..but yes it is early...clips and hornets have looked impressive therefore i mentioned them.
Learn to read yourself, dip .
I said "we are only through the first week of the season, and you already are going to say that the clippers and hornets COULD be bigger threats?"
again, COULD. true, anything can happen, but its WAY too damn early to even say COULD.
i'll slightly agree with part of his post. i'm not writing off the mavs by any stretch of the imagination, but for some reason, the clips seem to match-up really well with the spurs.
Lebron James and the Cavs during back-to-back games
oh i agree. the clips are a solid team. so are the hornets. i just think its kinda dumb that he already even considers that the Mavs and Suns could be lesser opponents.
I've always felt that this team if it's healthy is the best team in the NBA, so IMO, injuries are the Spurs biggest threat.
The greatest threat would be our police state government preparing for another 9/11. Sports seasons could be easily be shortened due to gov't terrorists in our own backyard.
Police state? I pretty much do what I please, as long as I don't go breaking any laws, and most of my neighbors seem to be doing pretty good, even the law breakers are doing fine. What is it that the State won't let you do or what freedom are they curtailing from you.
If they take the Spurs off the TV, then I'll have a problem.
