I'm a dyed in the wool Spurs fan, but I would be more inclined to put money on Denver than on LA or Golden State.San Antonio has been playing good ball lately, but its defense remains a bit inconsistent and the Nuggets could trip the Spurs up.
I hope it won't happen that way--I want the Spurs to take all the marbles, but they have to get their defense better if they want to do that.

I say Golden State over DallasI don't think anyone would pull off the upset, but I think the one possible upset would be Golden State. Not only are they undefeated so far this year against Dallas (still one to play) but they also went 3-1 last year against the Mavs
Did the Phoenix Suns players hold on to Duncan's jersey all game long?
Golden State over Dallas would be an intriguing matchup, and definitely might be the upset of the first round.Sure, analysts like Steve Kerr think that the Warriors will have no chance against Dallas in a playoff series, because of the days off to prepare. Apparently, the Warriors would be "lucky" to win one game. That's complete BS.
First off, the Warriors have Don Nelson, who KNOWS the Maverick's playbook inside and out. If anything, the WARRIORS would benefit from the days off in a playoff series, not the Mavs.
Secondly, the Warriors have owned the Mavericks not just this year, but the previous two years as well. They always play extremely close games, and the Warriors always manage to pull out at the end. In a way, they both play a similar style, except Dallas has perfected the scrambling defense, while the Warriors are still trying to get that down.
Denver and Spurs would be a good series too, but I think the Spurs are just too good on the defensive side.
LA would need 50+ from Kobe to keep up with the Suns. Kobe might get a couple of 50s, but he can't carry them forever.
Lakers over the Suns. The Suns were the highest scoring team in the NBA, but their defense is much to be desired. LA could luck out and beat them. I'd like to see it only because I'm a Mavs fan.
Do you think I am a Mormon by asking Utah Jazz questions?
The Golden State Warriors have the highest chance of pulling off the biggest upset, and thats why I'm hoping the clippers dont make it at all because Dallas will sweep the clippers.Best case senario for me is Lakers beating the Suns(not likely if Kwame isn't playing), and they meet the Spurs rather than Denver who have been a thorn to the lakers, and a final with Golden State or Utah vs The Laker(s). ;)

Golden State over Dallas in 6Are the NBA playoffs being rigged for Lebron?
Golden State, because of Don Nelson. He know what is the weakness of Dallas. He used to coach them couple years ago.Where is the MAVS band wagon at?
Golden State over Dallas could be done. They are 2-0 over Dallas in the regular season, and those games came when Dallas was on an 18-game win streak and one on an 8-game win streak. They have all the pieces to match Dallas.Phoenix has too much scoring power for LA.
San Antonio has too much experience to lose in the first round.
What will happens if the lakers and warriors loose today and the clippers win?
None of the above.I know the question is who has the greatest chance to pull an upset but I don't think any of these teams have a chance.
No way Golden State beats Dallas. They may be able to win a game or 2 because they do well against the Mavs but ultimately Dallas would win.
The way the Spurs are playing right now I think Denver would be lucky to get 1 game against them.
As for Phoenix all though they are the most vulnerable of the top 3 teams because they don't play great defense, there is no way the Lakers could beat them. L.A. doesn't play well on both ends of the floor consistently.
