    The problem with Denver is for the rockets to get in Denver or Utah will have to go out of the payoff I don't see any other team other that GS to be left out of the playoff.

    For all you guys that think San Antonio is our best chance... come on guys! Are y'all serious? We're talking about the defending champions that doesn't even start playing forreal until the playoffs start. I am by no means a Spurs fan.. but these guys know how to win.

    I think our best bet is with New Orleans. My theory is that they are just a hot team, which is causing everyone to get on their nuts. Yes, they are good... but a gut instinct tells me they will not replicate their success in the 1st half of the season. Also, like others mentioned.. the in experience also plays a big factor.

    My thoughts on who I would want to play. Just getting there is Step #1.

    None of these guys are easy:

    Suns: Obvious reasons.

    Dallas: Some scrub or bench player always steps up while ours go ice cold.

    Hornets: They're 7-2 against us since Chris Paul was drafted, I doubt inexperience would be a factor.

    Spurs: Hard to tell. They look like a team we can beat, but then again it is the regular season.

    Lakers: Kobe seems to always hit those clutch shots. Which is why we seem to go down the wire against them.

    If you think the Spurs are gonna be an easy out in the playoffs just cause we beat them a couple times in the regular season your gonna end up very very dissapointed.

    The fact is, there is no easy way out in the West. It´s gonna be 8 strong, all the way down.

    Therefore, give me Dallas. Give me redemption. Give me Utah. Give me revenge.
