Well I am glad that Mcdyess is in the West. I am scared to death though if we have to face the Spurs in the finals because if they are completely healthy then forget it we cannot match up to that team. They just have far more experience and championships then we do and now with the add ons to the team this is really scary. I really would rather play the Lakers or Cavaliers than the Spurs maybe though the Cavaliers will knock off both the Spurs in the Lakers in the West but not likely.
I'm sorry, but we match-up extremely well with the Spurs. We have 3 guys who can legitimately defend Duncan, we're much bigger inside, our wings are more potent and a better match for each other's games and I think Rondo/KG can defend Parker better than just about any tandem in the game. The Spurs only edge is their backcourt depth. Hill's good and Mason and Finley are nice bench options off the wing. But our superior starting 5 and Wallace off the bench makes us a very difficult opponent for the Spurs.
They are also going to struggle with the Lakers. Parker can hurt the Lakers quite a bit, but again the Lakers are really tough to match-up with on the wing and their frontcourt poses problems similar to Boston's.
