There is no way in hell the lakers upset the spurs! I doubt the series even goes 5. Besides for Kobe the lakers are a HORRIBLE TEAM...
The Kings however might be able to challenge the spurs and give them some troulbe... However it is highly highly unlikely they will be able to upset the Spurs. This series probably goes 6 games.
As for the Mavs first round opponent... I doubt they will have much problems with the Grizzly who while well coach, disciplined, and good defensively just dont have the talented to poze any real danger to the Mavs. Beside for Gasol, the rest of the team is ordinary and unless Bobby Jackson and Eddie Jones suddenly become 4 yrs younger, The Mavs take them out in 5.
The clippers on the other hand are dangerous, especially because of all the talent they have. Everyone knows about Brand and his career year, but its Cassel, Maggette, Mobley, Kaman and radmonavic who are scary. All of them can score 25 on a given night and could present a major problems for the Mavs if more than one of them get hot in the first round. That said... they arent as scary as last years first round opponent and the Mavs got through that... so Mavs in 6 if they face the clippers.
