Never Scared!

Ok folks, so after this week I have came to one conclusion, however I'll feel more better about it after Sundays game, but I don't fear any team in the Western Conference except for the Lakers.
Seeding is most likely going to look something like:

Spurs
Lakers
New Orleans
Utah
Suns
Rockets
Dallas
Warriors
.....

I'm not worried about the Warriors at all, should be done within 5 games MAX.
Lakers and Dallas is going to be a good one, although I see the Lakers in 7 actually, Kidd will play better so will Dirk.
New Orleans/Rockets is a toss up, doesn't really matter though.
Utah/Suns, yet another toss up, but I see the Suns coming out.

Spurs vs. Suns.. same result as the following years, plus Shaq makes them WORSE.

Lakers vs. Rockets.. i see this going to 7 as well, Scola/Dikembe are playing very well. T-mac will be ecstatic to make it out of the first round, I see the lakers beating them in 7.

There we have it, the Spurs Vs. Lakers in the conference finals. I do think that the Laker bench will not be relatively productive as they are now, hense the playoffs are a totally different atmosphere. The fact that the Lakers would have gone through the harder teams means that they would be more tired.

Spurs, hopefully once again, will be victorious and make it to their fifth finals appearance!

I don't think we will end up with the 1st seed, when you compare remaining games you have to favor the Lakers when you try and figure out wins and losses. We have 6 back to back games and more playoff teams to face.

I think Spurs don't get one seed. Spurs have one of the tougher schedules left.

I don't care about what seed we got as long as we have homecourt advantage in the 1st round. i know it's not important, but i'm not liking our chances on a repeat if we don't have homecourt in any series.

Probably showing my cards early here. I'll say the Spurs get the third seed since this WC is about as tough as it's been for a minute. For the ones that will miss out. Denver and either PHX or Warriors will be on the outside looking in.

With the West currently as it is, the need for fear is eliminated. Difficult matchup and teams are a part of the job description now for every Western Conference playoff team.
