    If we're healthy it doesn't matter who we play.

    Utah.

    The Fakers have Kobe which scares me. They were a Tim Thomas 3-pointer away from beating the Suns last year in the 1st round.

    And the Spurs are too experienced. I don't want any part of them til Round 2 or 3.

    In western conference, every playoff team will be a chanllenge. So I don't care which team we will face. Every team will give us some troubles (we lost games to them this season), but I think we can handle it.

    Um thats impossible, with Mavs at #1 and Suns at #2, only way that would happen if Spurs and Mavs switch (Spurs in WCF)

    bobcats are in the east.... dang im stupid lol

    realistically... i would want either the lakers or jazz because we beat them blown them out without yao...

    but if i HAD to choose... the Jazz because like someone said earlier Kobe is a ticking bomb ready to go off

    What's offensive about it? I didn't say anything derogatory about Mormons...
    Wait, I get it. You're saying it's insulting to link your faith to the Jazz. I see your point. That is insulting. My apologies to the Mormon faith... but not to Jazz fans.

    this would be my guess as well. however my choice would be to play dallas in the 2nd round, knock them out so they can't whine and complain for another series

    Here is from ESPN that supports your expectation:
    Scoop JAckson from ESPN wrote on "http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=jackson/070209":
    • The Western Conference final four will be better than the real final four (if these four teams get through). Dallas, Phoenix, San Antonio and Houston will be the two best seven-game series seen in over a decade. The intensity, passion, hunger and desire to get a ring, combined with a skill level only grown men getting paid to play possess, will easily bring those people who "hate" the NBA back.

    I dare them to beat us on 7 games series
