Who scares you in the postseason???

I'm taking an unscientific poll of all possible WC playoff teams. Who would you hate to see your team draw in the first round (if you make it) and why? Are some teams just too good? Do you match up bad with some teams? Who scares you . . .

As a Blazer fan these are teams I'd love to avoid (top being the most scary). *Note - I'm copying this word for word on all 9 teams forums. I'm not trying to flame anyone!

1. Spurs - too good for us, too experienced, and we've yet to play them when they're at full strength.
2. Lakers - they'd probably win - especially with home court - but I'd rather watch the LA/PDX rivalry get reborn than a slow, boring, sobering series with SA.
3. Rockets - just a bad match-up for us and I really don't want to watch Artest going at Roy for a whole series.
4. Mavs - Same as Rockets, bad match-up. Kidd would abuse Blake and Sergio.
5. Hornets - I'd love to beat these guys, but they have us in the experience category, they have an MVP caliber PG, and David West plays great against us. This is probably the team I would hate to lose to the most and we are definitely capable of losing to them.
6. Jazz - I think we could beat Utah, especially if we had homecourt. And if we do play them it will have that rivalry feel, Roy could end all that "better/worse than Deron" talk once and for all, and if we did knock them out of the playoffs it would be extreeeeemely satisfying.
7. Suns - No Amare, no problem. Shaq is playing out of his mind right now, but with a healthy Oden this would be a very fun series!
8. Nuggets - The only thing that worries me about this matchup is Chauncey's playoff experience. Luckily I think we are a much better team and we can make Chauncey a non-factor. Mostly I just think we are better than them, period.

So Jazz fans, who scares you guys?

Has to be the Spurs, we simply can't win @ SA for ****. We aren't even competitive there anymore.

Did the OP really just imply that Roy would prove to be an indisputably better player than Deron if they met in the playoffs?

Jazz (with complete roster plating) is a better team than
Nuggets
Blazers (Inexperience)
Mavs
Hornets
Rockets
Suns.

Then, they are capable to beat Spurs and Lakers, but they aren't favorite vs them

What team scares this Jazz fan in the post season? The same teams that scare me during the regular season ... all of them when they are playing on their home court.

Should this run we're on prove to not be a fluke or a because of a favorbale schedule the Jazz could very well pass the Spurs and with the 2nd seed and HCA the Jazz are favorites to beat everyone 3-8 including San Antonio.
