i think mavs should be included too!
Whats your thoughts
suns with their amazing offence, Amare back, Nash, Marion e.t.c
Jazz with their great team-work, great rebounding and great frontcourt
thoughts?
i think mavs should be included too!
Not scared of the Suns. The Jazz will fade whether that be late down the stretch or once they reach the playoffs (granted they stay healthy which is NOT granted). Hate to say it, but the Mavs are the only versatile and SIMILAR team that could knock us off in the West. Rockets will be tough if they're healthy too.
They will be yes but I'm asking which of those two would be a bigger threat. As the spurs may meet them in round two...depending how the seeds work
i cant ever remember the west being this ing loaded. Even during the kobe/shaq era it was nowhere as tough because the west about the Spurs/Lakers and then everybody else. This is different because there are a few teams capable of beating both the spurs and mavs.
Gotta go with the Suns because of their matchup problems.
A healthy Amare is damn-near unguardable. Boris Diaw as a super-quick PF. Leandro Barbosa as a quick, elusive SG. And they have the great facilitator who will be working w/o cuts on his fingers w/ the new-old leather ball.
I think the Jazz will be tougher defensively for sure, but their biggest question will be with depth. Can they survive the grind of 82 games while healthy? I'd be concerned w/ Boozer and Kirilenko's health if I was them. They should be good though.
spurs already destroyed the suns!!!!
the mavs are the only team im worried about and i dont think they will beat us in a 7 game series!!!
Yeah, two years ago........
i'm honestly worried by all three: Suns, Jazz and Mavs. Even the Lakers to a degree. I think Spurs fans are fooling themselves if they think we shouldn't take each of those teams very seriously. Hopefully, in a 7-game series, experience will be the factor that tips victory our way, but those teams all have youth on their side. And sometimes, youth beats out experience. Not often, but sometimes.
If we're talking ONLY about the Jazz and the Suns, I'd have to say I'm a little more scared of the Jazz.
You guys can't sweep the Lakers under the rug like you want to. LA has the biggest frontline in the West, best overall player, and best coach.
It's all going to come down to health....the West is loaded for sure.
The knicks should be a threat to the spurs.
I agree Lakers will be a threat but biggest frontline?
Kwame, Odom, Bynum, Walton, Turiaf
Yes, biggest frontline. Most athletic as well. Assuming they are healthy come playoff time, they will hurt teams inside.
Mavs. I'm not afraid of Jazzers or Suns.
Well, yeah when you play 5 guys in your frontline!
Cleva is right though....Lakers are again part of the equasion. They are back to being the best team in LA with the second best coach in LA.
A healthy Rockets team poses the greatest threat of all...
even healthy I would put Houston after SA, LA, Dallas, Utah, and Phoenix (in no particular order)
None ; injuries are the only threat
(as far as matchups against the Spurs are concerned)
Yao > Kwame + Bynum
Wells = Odom
Bryant => McGrady
Alston or Sura >>> Smush Parker
P. Jax > Van Gundy
Rockets Defense >>>> Lakers Defense
suns have the best talented team and if amare keeps getting better they have a domiant big man inside. along with the MVP.
No team has better players than the Suns, in theory they should be the toughest test for the spurs due to who they have.
health is the main reason why suns havn't made the finals.
you mean position by position?No team has better players than the Suns
Threats to Spurs:
1. Lack of Rebounding
2. Small Ball
3. Dallas Mavericks
I mean players as a whole
roster wise
They have the MVP
a 20 and 10 player
a beast in Amare
Barbosa with 16-18 PPG off the bench
Kurt thomas a guy who can give them 9-8 a game off the bench
Raja Bell could pour in 14-17 a game
Diaw can put up 10+, 6 and 6
they are very talented.
Those who don't think they can win it all are clueless.
