    Dallas might get a game, Spurs in 4 or 5.

    Edit: It would've been much better for the Rockets if Dallas had won that game setting up a 1st rd series between the Griz & Spurs instead of Dallas & SA. Memphis would at least challenge SA a lot more and wear them out & maybe even take 2 games from them as opposed to the Mavs who aren't going to fare as well.

    These teams have a lot of history but this one feels like a snoozer.

    Spurs in 5.

    Would've rather seen Spurs vs Grizzlies so that for sure we wouldn't have to see Memphis any where in the playoffs.

    I think OKC will beat the Grizz but Memphis is going to give OKC a hard time. I think Spurs would Knock out Memphis more easily

    You mean the team that didn't have Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green or Boris Diaw? And had Manu playing with a broken arm? Yeah that team didn't "run out of gas". That team just wasn't nearly as good.

    The Spurd are 12-2 against Memphis since that series and they acquired the likes of Leonard and company.

    Dirk, Ellis, Carter, Calderon, Marion

    Lots of fun players.

    Pop vs Carlisle, TD vs Dirk. This is the playoff series I'm gonna follow.

    I hope Spurs came out at last, as we have no one to guard Dirk. Spurs in 6.

    Spurs vs. Dallas. Dirk vs. Duncan. Pop vs. Carlisle. Such a classic matchup and it's like they are both throwing one last punch before the matchup dies. I think Dallas can pull a game or two, especially at home.

    Spurs in 6.

    F**k you, you f**king a**hole, get your stupid f**king ass off of our f**king boards- insult our fans and that's what you get, you d**k. San Antonio has nothing but basketball, absolutely embarrassing that a city in the top 10 in population in the entire U.S. only has 1 major sports team. I mean, really, it's outright pathetic. I won't say anything bad about the Spurs- major respect for them- but you are a f**king joke, really, get the f**k back to your S.A. boards or go back to jacking off to your Patty Mills/Bruce Bowen/Jaren Jackson/George Gervin/Sean Elliott/Matt Bonner/Stephen Jackson playing cards.

    I'm happy the it seems the Spurs' road to the finals is starting with a tough opponent, as far as 8th seeds go Dallas is pretty much one of the strongest with explosive scorers (Ellis, Calderon), savvy vets (Matrix, Brand), a decent coach (Carlisle) and of course their own superstar (Dirk). Spurs may beat them in 4 however they will have to take this game seriously.

    Hopefully Spurs get banged up in this round and the next so we can pound them in the finals.
