Us and the Lakers( I think? ) are the competition with SA to be in the Finals.

He thinks the Lakers and the Blazers are the two biggest threats to the Spurs to represent the West in the NBA Finals. Now I know this is Bill Walton, but wow...
I think we're definately top 5 right now, but that's a little much. Still nice to get even more respect... it's becoming a regularity.

I can see why Bill would say something like that. The Blazers team that won it all was a lot like we are now in terms of the unselfishness and teamwork, and Bill appreciates good team basketball more than anything else. He is probably channeling a lot of 1977 when he is picking us as a threat.
I think we're a good team to put a scare into pretty much anyone but San Antonio if we make it to the playoffs, but I can't see us really being able to be a real threat to San Antonio until we figure out how to give Brandon some space against Bowen and until we get some more offensive prowess in the post so that Duncan has to play man-on defense instead of being able to roam.
Boy, it's amazing how much our matchup problems against the best teams in the league are solved just by a having a healthy Greg Oden.

Haha that would be great. Aldridge did really surprise Duncan in their first meeting this year, but not so much in the second. SA is such a far superior and respectable team that such accusations are pipe dreams. I do believe we can (not necessarily would or would be likely to) beat anyone else though.

Let's hope he's right, because if the playoffs started today, guess who we'd be playing in the first round?
Let's just hope we can keep this up and get one of the top 3 records in the West. Otherwise, even if we win the division, we'll be playing either Dallas, San Antonio or the Lakers (assuming they can keep up this pace) WITHOUT home court advantage. Ouch. Quite a reward for winning the division, huh?
