Who thinks the spurs are going to repeat this year??

There are good odds for the Spurs, but they have a rocky road to get there. If the favorite won every series in the west, they would play:\nThe Kings\nThe Mavericks\nThe Suns\n\nThey are very playoff-experianced, but I think it's Detroit's year.

I predict the Spurs will win in one of the closest SIX game series we've ever seen. 4-2.\n\nFor my analysis of the series, check here:\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtXFMdldL7Bsho6dk1wbsErsy6IX?qid=1006050721705

one key injury and any of the top 4 teams in the west can beat them easily. if they are fully healthy and clicking though, i think only the spurs have a chance.

Of course.. The San Antonio Spurs have so many experience players on their team that if anyone can comeback and beat the mavs its them. They won 2 championships in the last 3 years. plus look at this lineup... PG: Tony Parker SG: Manu SF: Bruce Bowen PF: Tim Duncan C: Nasiz... Bench: Michael Finley (former mav), Nick Van X, Robert "6 rings" Horry.. Bring IT ON Mavs cuz were going 3-0.......

I do.  I am also a Spurs fan so this answer will be somewhat subjective.  Nothing against the Mavericks but all you have to do is look at the matchups.  The Spurs have the better superstar, Tim Duncan, the better point guard, Tony Parker, the better lock-down defender, Bruce Bowen, and all around better shooters.  The only explanation I can think of for them not being there would be the fact that they added some new players in the offseason and are still looking for a system that works best with the players they have, while the Mavericks didn't do much in the offseason so they already had the chemistry in place.  Best of luck to the Mavericks though, I'd love to see Avery Johnson coach a team to a title, even though Mark Cuban is a douche.

I'm going to go for a natural answer of THE SPURS!  It's an odd year (2007)...so they'll probably win it.  They like to win those National Championships on odd years, right?  Go Spurs and Rockets, too!  :)\n\nTexan at Heart

of course they have a chance, but the spurs are gonna be hard to beat. i don't think it's impossible though. if they do they're gonna have a hard time with the pistons!!

Yes, I do. They are playing just as well as they did last year, and have about the same team as last year, plus Tony Parker is playing on a completely different level. I know it was only a matter of time before he completely broke out. Keep in mind, he's only 23 years old now. As for Duncan, yes, he was hurt this year, but I think he will still be a force in the playoffs.

I think it will be the same match up, but I see the Spurs winning in five.

I'm a Laker fan but I think they could beat the Spurs in 7 games. For me, their starting line-up is the best at this point.

Do they have what it takes? Yes.  Will they? Don't know.  I think so, but the series could go either way.  Regardless, the winner of the series will win the NBA championship.  There is only one team that can beat the Mavs in a 7 game series, and that is the San Antonio Spurs.  That being said there is only one team that can beat the Spurs in a 7 game series and that is the Dallas Mavericks.  With Dallas resting I think they have a very good chance to take out the Spurs, especially with Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili not at 100% and they proved they could beat them in their house with the last match-up in the regualr season.  This series goes 6 or 7 and Dallas wins.  At least I hope so, being a Dallas fan.  One thing I can guarantee is that I will be screaming at the TV during all of the games.  And hopefully Robert Horry will keep his mouth to himself!

HECK YEAH it's gonna be fun! For the first time in a long time the playoffs are actually proving to be ENTERTAINING ( if only the refs would let the players decide the game more, though)! There is no SURE THING this year, which I think only adds to the fascination! Personally I see it being Spurs and Heat in the finals, but who knows?! All I do know, is that it is going to be a great race to the end....! =)
