    OKC definitely!

    I really think we can make it a series with Denver. Getting Parsons back will be huge. Also, San Antonio isn't an impossible match-up for us. Let's get an upset in round 1 to set up a Texas showdown in round 2? I like it!

    As I watch the Thunder play the more I don't want to play them in first round.

    OKC will win the west. They have a great balance of top notch offense and great D. You have the most atheletic PG in memory, a great scorer, a great shot blocker in Ibaka and terrific interior defender in Perkins. Then you're bench is loaded.

    You know, I think we might really have a shot at getting out of the first round if we get the Spurs.

    those who are saying Denver is a better match up because Lawson and Gallinari are out... Lawson is Day to Day and he'll be back for the playoffs for sure

    I hope we stay #7. No Manu and an injured Parker. Tis the best shot we have.

    No one knows that for sure. He has been day to day for a month know. That is a tough injury to get over. Mostly it just takes rest and heals when it's ready.

    It's funny how some people on this board think a Nuggets team minus Gallo and Lawson is a tougher matchup for us than the Thunder. They think 0-4 is worse than 1-2 but they forget that OKC blew us off the court the first 2 meetings and then we caught them in a bad spot after the all star game. You have to look at the losses individually. We were in all the games against the nuggets except the last and that was after a west coast trip on b2b when we got in at 5am and were without Parsons and Delfino. As much as I like Garcia he is a big drop off on defnse comared to Parsons. OKC is the best team in the west by far. Even against a healthy Denver tem but they are not healthy.
