Honestly, I think if they can handle the Mavs in game 7, they'll make the finals.
Look who won the games for the Spurs (since they need someone besides Duncan to score). Bruce Bowen, Tony Parker, and Manu all exploded, and those games were all SA victories because the Lakers had no one to stop the hot PG or SF. The Kings have Christie, Peja, Hedo, or even Bibby to stop those guys. Parker will have an awful series, Bowen and Manu will be minimized. Yeah, Duncan will destroy them, but as long as he doesn't score 40+, there's no one else to pick up the slack and Sactown should win.
