(#3) Warriors - (#2) Spurs Series

We're going to finish off the Western Conference semis today before heading over to the East. Why? Because I felt like it, damn it! (Actually, it's a time issue with uploading the rosters and setting the depth charts on WhatIfSports, but we don't need to get too in depth with that. Just trust me on it.) Anyway, it's a Warriors-Spurs matchup today, featuring some of the greatest big men of all time: Chamberlain! Duncan! Robinson! Thurmond! And let's not forget the sweet, sweet taste of the Iceman, George Gervin, combined with Rick "I really should have had an awesome nickname" Barry. I'd bet on the Spurs here; the Warriors are deeper, but I think the Spurs have a better starting five.

Wilt Chamberlain (Ultimate Warriors)

Well my prediction was way off. I felt good about it after Game 1, but that's gotta be a huge let down for Spurs fans. Two of Wilt's teams square off with Warriors-Lakers for the Western Conference Finals.
