    It would be awesome if Spurs got 8 seed and beat Mike D'Antoni (again) in the first round.

    OKC - Wipe that smirk off his face and prove that Dame is really the more valuable player all things considered.

    OKC easy. Would say the Spurs but they are always a difficult matchup for us.

    I agree and I just don't like that team. The Clippers are the other team I don't like either.

    OKC doesn't hate us. We really need to do something about that.

    OKC. Lots of demand for their games due to the Seattle ties. We would beat them and play a second round as well.

    Whichever team is the most beat up.

    I have no compunctions about kicking a team when they're down.

    Minn is a matchup problem.
    Jazz are hot and provide some of the same issues.

    OKC is a wannabe big3.
    By process of elimination, the obvious answer is the Pelicans.

    Answer: Don't care

    Reason: At some point, if you want to contend in the west, you have to beat good teams.

    Yeah, I hate trying to pick an opponent or a favorite matchup. A lot of the time it turns into a be careful what you wished for scenario. Just do as well as you can and beat whoever we face in the playoffs.

    I'm down to face whoever comes our way. We have the tools to make it a rough path to whomever we face.

    I want to get MIN out of the way before Butler gets back fully in stride. Wiggins is doing just that right now, Wiggins about his role on the team. That team is ready for a 1st round exit.
