    Simple question. Who do you want to meet in the playoffs? Spurs or Warriors?

    For me, I'd absolutely LOVE to beat the Spurs and LMA in the playoffs. Sure, I still have a few sour grapes still - but that makes it an even better reason to play & beat the Spurs.

    It's unlikely that we beat either one, but give me a shot at the Spurs.

    We'd have a better shot at upsetting the Spurs.

    Spurs. Simply so we can show LMA he made the wrong choice when we beat them in 6.

    We might win a game vs SA.

    Break out the brooms vs GS.

    Let's see if we make the playoffs first. That Minny/Utah/Minny/Utah/SA stretch is brutal.

    Nurkic would FEAST on Pau and the Texas Turncoat guarding him in a seven game series.

    Just the thought of Dame getting a shot at .09-ing LMA makes this choice easy.

    I think we have a more realistic shot at beating SAS, but I sure would love to see Nurk destroy the Warriors.

    I'm surprised that most of us are in concensus on this. Guess we ought to root for SAS tonight when they play

    As an 8th seed, do we really have a choice? IMG_1867 utility truck .JPG typical public perception of an 8th seed IMG_1915.JPG What # 1 or 2 seeds think of themselves

    Both are tough. Beating Lamarsha and the Spurs would be a dream come true.

    If we keep playing like this, NOBODY will want to play us in the first round.

    I'll pick SA because knocking LMA out in the first round would be so pleasing and I think we have a 20% chance of that happening. GS on the other hand is a lower % but man Nurkic vs Green would be FUN to watch. One of them is going to EMBARRASS the other and they both will definitely be suspended at least 1 game.

    Who we'll have to beat in the playoffs is the refs.

    You want the Spurs. San Antonio jumped out to a 15-0 lead at home and was up 20 in the first quarter. Now it's the 4th quarter and Golden St is up by 9.....all without Durant.

    Portland is playing much better than they were (with the addition of Nurkic) but that is a long way from where the Warriors are playing even short-handed. Tomorrow night against the Rockets will be a solid test but that is still not at the Warriors level.
