Who would you rather play, Spurs or Lakers?

You would obviously like to finish 6th and play Dallas or Oklahoma, but if you cant finish 6th, would you rather finish 7th and play the Lakers or finish 8th and play the Spurs? If I was Hollins, if I cant finish 6th I would do my best to finis 8th and avoid the Lakers.

Pretty easy IMO!

We would much rather play five aganist five and take our chances with the results.

As oppossed to playing five aganist eight and getting screwed so the suits can have the league mandated high ratings for the Championship series!

I think that we match up better with the Lakers, but we have a better chance of winning a couple games against the Spurs. Overall, I think a series with the Lakers would be more exciting than a series with the Spurs - so Lakers, I guess.

We have little chance of beating either team. But a match against Spurs would be much more enjoyable and less road travel. If I can get away without watching any of the Lakers games this year I would. But I made the mistake of watching them against Denver on Sunday. That was great though as they lost.

You guys are better off playing SA. The Lakers magically never get hurt in the playoffs and you think the refs will let them go out in round 1? No way.

I don't think Bynum can survive at least 4 games against the Grizz. Some how, some way, Bynum seems to always get injured against the Grizz.

Bynum has been proven a jinx vs. the Grizz. Personally I rather play the Lakers due to that we may slightly match up against them a bit. A big miracle would be to play against the Mavs. The Grizz match much better against them on both ends of the floor. Depending on how the Grizz play against NOLA, PDX, and the Clips while PDX and NOLA lose their remaining games.

Dallas would be amazing for you guys, that Clippers loss kinda screwed you out of that though.

I hate that we loss the Clippers game. Didn't expect that one. The best thing to hope for is that both PDX and the Hornets lose their remaining games inthis complicated race.

As for the Clips, we'll get them Wednesday. We owe them one.
