Let's be real, only 5 teams that actually matter for the 2014 championship.

We don't need too, but I'd prefer OKC over San Ant. Same reasonings I've had the past few years. They killed us in L.A. without Parker and Leonard, Manu's first game back and iirc, Duncan was in foul trouble. Granted, Paul's shoulder is still iffy, but no way he should let Patty Mills destroy him.

Then, there is Pop.

All true but Clippers did beat Spurs in San Antonio without CP.

[Sakkreth]

Clippers ?

[All Net]

Clippers ?

They are one of the best teams so why not.

You'd think people would learn by now not to count out the Spurs. But it happens Every. Single. Year.

1. Heat

2. Pacers

3. Thunder

Lettuce beef real tea

Only OKC SAS LAC and HOU have a shot, don't even think about Indiana because Miami will beat them no doubt.

Go even further and realistically, only OKC and Spurs have a shot at beating Miami

Really? You leave out SA. Everyone always forgets them and then they shit on teams in the playoffs.

This.

There proven to get it goin when they need to.

They ain't looking good but they'll get there and they will be fine, just like last year when they had their end of season slump due to injuries etc that caused them to lose #1 seed

How quickly they forget about CP3's epic playoff chokes....

Also true. Only 2 teams you can guarantee to get it going in the play offs are OKC and Spurs from the west

I would be a bit wary on putting the Rockets too high. We've gone 9-1 in the last 10, but the Suns game was pretty much handed to us by the refs (thanks!). The Rockets defence simply needs to step up, and Howard has done a superb job of covering for the myriad of mistakes by Harden and Parsons. Oddly enough, I'm perfectly happy with a SAS-HOU matchup, I think we match up quite well, but Chris Paul can tear the Houston guards a new one.

[MichaelCorleone]

The Suns cannot take OKC or Clippers in a 7 game series. They lack the star power and are inexperienced.

[PostUpFreak]

Suns needs a scoring bigman, and it's sad that bledsoe got hurt

only a choke when you are actually favoured to win...

Five is the right number but the wrong texas team is in OP's post.
