I honestly think we can defeat either the Warriors or the Spurs, but I think it is a no brainer - it has to be GSW.

They barely have a front court with Lee playing minimal seconds and Bogut standing on one leg, play absolutely no defense whatsoever, and have a game style that plays right into our hands. Plus there's the fact that they haven't beaten is something like 3 years and we would have home court advantage against the Warriors.

Spurs have more experience, so i have to pick Warriors.
Also, i guess against GSW we have home court advantage...

I definitely want the Spurs for numerous reasons. The utmost reason to me is that I'm traveling to Memphis next week and if we face the Spurs I should get to see either game 3 or game 4 IN PERSON! :D :D :D

I suppose if we face the Warriors the series begins Tuesday and game 2 at home Thursday night. I'd have possiblity to see but I have already conflicting plans that night.. :oops:


My theory from the start has been that I rather not face a confident Warriors team if they upset the Spurs. Well they have looked shaky so far but in order for them to win out they have to take 2 in a row here and would have some momentum and most likely will have been shooting RED HOT out of their minds to get tehre. And that would be a scary team to face...

The "business as usual" Spurs after a win tonight... I think we'd be on a level playing field with them... I prefer to have a classic rematch against them. ALSO the travel time is MUCH MORE favorable to face San Antonio then to travel back and forth from the BAY to Mempho. That's considering how rested we'd be for a potential NBA FINALS MATCH!

First, i would like GSW to tie the series tonight so our guys gets some more rest.

Then, the best team is the spurs. So if you tell me we are going to the finals no matter what, Id rather defeat them. However, I think our chances are bigger against the warriors.

I think the warriors can score around 35 three pointers a game against us easily. Points in the paint 0. Defending the 3point line is going to be frustrating...

I didn't watch a whole lot of the spurs so far. I caught 2 or 3 of this series and NONE of the Lakers games. But it looked like their adv against GSW was inside. They shouldn't have that adv against Grizz. It will be a battle - I think we can win.
