    Playing the Lakers means also playing against the Scott Fosters with whistles....I'd take the Suns anyday in the playoffs over the defending champs

    I think we'll struggle against either team. I'm not saying we don't have a chance against the Suns, just that their chance to win this series is better than ours.

    I'm fine with either. Healthy Lakers are probably better, but I don't think they can be as good as last years team so we'd have a shot either way. I'd probably rank the Clippers at the top of the west, we actually match up very well with Utah.

    Nets Bucks 6ers are all heavy favorites against us but I suppose we'd be happy just to make it to the finals.

    I'm with you here. Who asks this question before even winning a game in the first series? Blazers better be taking it more seriously than this?

    Game 1 is feel out game. Doesn’t really matter.

    Suns. They’re good and all. But I don’t think they present the matchup problems the Lakers do and Anthony Davis always lights us up.

    I really disagree with you here. This is a 7 game series and they play one game at a time. If the Blazers lose the first game they will not be thinking about the lakers or the suns. If they win the first game they better be thinking about what the Nuggets are going to do in game two.

    Wait a minute. He is as rusty as an old farm bucket.
