I think that's the only team San Antonio really wants to avoid for as long as possible. The rest of the West will be too complicated to pick and choose opponents. Besides, no one is that much better than anyone else, except for the Lakers (and even they're struggling as of late). Out of the Jazz, Mavs, Nuggets, and Suns, I'd want to match up with the Nuggets if I were San Antonio. The Jazz are bad news this year for them (4-0 vs Spurs).

I wouldn't be surprised if they play around with their positioning just to avoid those two teams. If Utah or Denver locks down the number 2 seed, I can see Pop throwing a game or two in order to ensure that 7th spot. He knows a first round match-up with either of those two will spell doom for my boys in silver and black.
