Who do you want to matchup against in the first round?

[50 cent]

There are still a lot of options ranging anywhere from the 2 seed to the 6 seed.

What team do you want to matchup with in the first round?

[remingtonbo2001]

3rd Seed. Honestly, I wouldn't mind playing Phoenix.

It just might be the perfect opponent to get our offense going and Brent back into the swing of things.

Of the teams listed, I'd choose Dallas or Houston. Neither team really has an inside presence to match up with Duncan and cannot consistently defend the paint. The worst matchup is I think the one we more than likely will get...the Suns. I just do not like how Duncan plays against Shaq, he looks scared to go inside and the combination of Shaq and Amare really seem to be doing a good job of clogging the lane, making it so much harder for Parker and Manu (assuming he comes back healthy) to slice to the basket...

you're about 12 years late man.

For those of you ers tanking for a matchup vs the Rockets:
Be careful what you wish for, biatch:

that's not to mention your playoff history over the last 12 years is this:

2007 -- lost to Utah, 4-3, first round
2006 -- DIDN'T MAKE PLAYOFFS
2005 -- lost to Dallas, 4-3, first round
2004 -- lost to LA Lakers, 4-1, first round
2003 -- DIDN'T MAKE PLAYOFFS
2002 -- DIDN'T MAKE PLAYOFFS
2001 -- DIDN'T MAKE PLAYOFFS
2000 -- DIDN'T MAKE PLAYOFFS
1999 -- lost to LA Lakers, 3-1, first round
1998 -- lost to Utah, 3-2, in first round

1997 was the last time houston won a playoff series.
1997 was also the last time the spurs didn't make the playoffs.

you might want to consider what team you're rooting for when you talk trash

[DAF86]

The Atlanta Hawks

[BiZNicK]

Rockets would be the easiest.
Suns may be the toughest.
Dallas, well i like that rivalry, so for entertainment purposes I'd like to see Spurs vs Mavs.

[adidas11]

I'm just hoping that the Spurs end up as a 2, 3, or 6 seed, along with Phoenix getting a 3 or 6 seed (if that is even possible for them)

I do not want my team playing the Spurs AND Phoenix in the playoffs. I much rather those two duke it out and one gets knocked out.

I like my chances better against Houston, NOH, or Utah.
