    We need to give major props to AAA, not a drop off from Wes.

    Me too. Who knows who we'll play well against though. Everyone wanted Dallas in 2011. They beat us and won the title. Last year, Houston thought they were going to finals since they were 7-1 vs our side of the bracket and they got disposed of in 6 games. I don't really care who we play but I do want the highest seed possible. I want home court advantage in the second round. If OKC takes down Warriors, that would give us HCA for the whole western conference playoffs and very possibly the NBA Finals.

    Your post is so correct. It really rests on who is hot going to the playoffs. But yeah if there is one thing I want, regardless if they are entering in the playoffs hot or not, I don't want the Spurs.

    You think? When healthy with all their new pieces, they are the best team OKC has ever had. Steven Adams/Enes Kanter is a big improvement over Kendrick Perkins. We are 3-0 vs OKC this year but Durant didn't play in any of the games. I think we could beat them but it would be tough.

    Difference is in 2011 we were underdogs regardless. Just looking for best chance, and Dallas WAS our best shot. LA, OKC, SA (even though they were upset by Memphis) would've smashed us.

    I'm not afraid of any team this season. That's why!

    Kaman didn't like me dissing him last week. That's the only possible explanation.

    You're welcome. :)

    It's weird because I think SA is most dangerous team in playoffs (and the favorite to go to Finals) but we were 3-1 against them. I know it doesn't matter but I feel like this year could be different. Who knows?

    Never fear them. Respect them, but have confidence you can step on their throats. That's when a team is truly "elite"

    We could've beaten LA. We played them well during the year (3-1, I think. At least 2-2) and they got swept by Dallas.

    hey if we can get past them if we were to meet than how can you not like our chances? Only other threat IMO is Memphis with Conley and there big guys. Maybe someone can upset Memphis.

    I think Clippers can "upset" Memphis. Houston can't.

    We have generally been good against them in the regular season. It is a little misleading, though, because they have rested there big guns a few times against us. The Spurs know when to really turn it up and that is at playoff time. Not regular season.
