Spurs got the easiest path, imho.

[DAF86]

I have the feeling the Rockets would have been harder for us than the Lakers sans Kobe and I prefer to face Denver than Clippers/Grizzlies. Of course seeing how things are going is not a sure thing that we will take advantage of this.

[TampaDude]

tbh, I think we're going back to the WCF to face OKC again, tbh

tbh

[DAF86]

haha usually I carefully select my tbh's. This time they just happened. I should got to bed, tbh.

[justinandimcool]

Agreed. Couldn't really have hoped for much better. Maybe GSW, but with the way Curry/Thompson can get hot, they were an even bigger threat. We all know how Harden plays against the Spurs.

Blake and Meeks :lol TOSB bench :lol

[letmk]

Gasol and Howard are tall tasks for Tim to handle. Since his arrival in 2008, Gasol, not KB, has always been the #1 key to the Lakers' success. The Lakers' recent resurgence is also because Gasol is playing like his old self again. Thus, Splitter really has to step up and give Tim a hand.

Also, like the last game against the Lakers showed, if our wings/guards cannot win the duel against theirs (sans KB), the Spurs would be in a very precarious situation.

[Monster1776]

You all really couldn't get a better draw.

[Sean Cagney]

There is no easy path at all IMO! Would I rather play LA than Houston? No clue lol! Kobe is not in there but their size! Gasol is playing great right now and Howard is lights out right now! Spurs weakness? Rebounding and interior outside of TIM! They are not an easy matchup.

[Blake]

Funny, i was thinking Rockets then Clippers was the path of least resistance.

Harden is out of gas. Parker owns CP3.

The Nuggets will run/dunk the Spurs out of the gym, imo.

[Budkin]

Rockets and Warriors would have been much worse match ups. I can't wait to see Tony and Timmy tear the Lakers apart.

[Blake]

Thunder will sweep the Rockets. No doubt in my mind.

[Mugen]

I'm honestly more scared of the Rockets than the Lakers; and the Clippers are much more fearsome than either the Nuggets or the Warriors. I'd rather be in the 2 seed right now. Of course the Spurs and Thunder are essentially complete and total opposites.

And I'm not so confident about a sweep with the Rockets. We're still much too young and inexperienced to guarantee any type of consistent performance like that.

[KaiRMD1]

Dude, this team is an easy path for anybody tbh. Spurs better show up sunday because right now, only one guy looks like he wants to make a run and he's 37 years old. go spurs go (hesitantly)

The Clips and The Grizz are gonna' bang eachother all to HELL each and every single game like last year. I hope that series goes to 7 games A-gain. It's like watching an MMA event without all the gear and the cage. Hopefully, it'll be even bloodier this time around as well. You know Memphis is piiissed. :lmao

[baseline bum]

There is some real delusion in this thread. Without Diaw and with Duncan and Splitter likely playing about 35 minutes each while Gasol and Bible Kemp basically play the whole game, you're going to be seeing lots of Bonner and Blair guarding Gasol on a team that's going to be playing through the post mainly now. On paper the Spurs backcourt should shit all over LA's D-League guard rotation, but recent results from our backcourt haven't been at all encouraging.

[polandprzem]

Frankly speaking IMO, I mean Seriously tbh I think the path is better for the spurs tbh on the lower bracket sincerly

[Old School 44]

Agree with the OP. Another thing, the Spurs always get up for the big stage that comes with playing the Lakers, as opposed to drawing someone like Houston, Golden State where they can get caught napping. Denver is also a little banged up. I think we are destined for a repeat of the WCF matchup, hopefully with different results. tbh

Sorry about Kobe's injury btw.. Nope. Kobe is all they have in the backcourt. The lakers were coming on with Kobe and Gasol playing better ( they would have challenged OK City for top seed if they were healthy throughout the year)as they got healthy and the urgency to make the playoffs set in. This stupid notion that the lakers are better without Kobe is nothing but nonsense.

:lol they had a horrible point differential during the last month, during their "hot streak", barely beating mediocre teams, despite historic FT advantages..

The Lakers were horrible this year when Nash-Kobe-Gasol-Howard played together..

There's absolutely no reason to believe they would have challenged a top seed if they were healthy, the numbers don't translate at all..they had literally 2 or 3 impressive wins all year, and virtually all of their wins against decent teams were by 1 or 2 possessions..

They were not healthy. Nash was not a smart move getting him at his age. Nash has been banged up all year and not healthy, Howard and Gasol missed lots of games early on, they had a coaching change, lots of upheaval this year. Got off to a bad start and turned it on down the stretch as they got healthier. With health they challenge for top seed.

[rascal]

The spurs are going to be in a fight guarding Gasol and Howard. The Spurs are small, soft and weak on the frontline, don't count on Splitter. Splitter will get destroyed, early foul trouble and on the bench. it is going to fall all on Duncan again. The lakers don't have enough fire power in the backcourt now without Kobe and that is the reason why the Spurs can escape this series.

Those powerful Lakers with KOBE who lost to good teams all year long were really on a roll to beat us easily huh? They were 9th a few games later this year for Gods sakes, lol at beating the Spurs easily with Kobe. They were not beating anyone good for a long time this year, won a few late but mostly without Kobe. When he was healthy they lost to all the good teams, period.


Are they better without him in the playoffs? Probably not, but they were not juggarnauts with him a tall this year by any means. They are playing better as a team right now than all of this year! No coincidence there.

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs haven't won a road game since February so they'd better not slip up at home.

[mute]

I sort of agree I guess, although I don't like the thought of playing LAL in the first round. The main thing is that we avoid OKC until the WCF (if we get that far; however, this was never a question since we were gonna be the #1 or #2 seed). Another thing is that we don't have to play the winner of the Memphis/Clippers series.

Keep believing the Spurs are some sort of playoff powerhouse. This spurs team has proven to be soft when challenged in the playoffs the last couple of years and I don't expect anything different from them this year.

The lakers have been playing better since Howard and Gasol got back on the court together, most of the year those two were not playing together because of injuries.

[xtremesteven33]

Pau Gasol can play like an MVP when he wants to. Pau will now have all the freedom to be team leader and lead shot taker this series. Can anyone imagine Gasol taking the lead role? Not me. Dwight Howard has the ability to be a lockdown paint defender but continues to show hes very vulnerable in that area. The Spurs will purposely attack Dwight Howard all series. They will try to get him in foul trouble and piss him off. Past has shown that he gets distracted easily and tends to play sloppy when upset.

The guy that really worries me is Ron Artest. I feel as though Kobe and Fisher were the guys who kept that animal in his cage for 3 years. Now theres no one there to stop him or hold him back. Spurs have no one who can stop Artest. The guy can post, shoot 3's and play shutdown defense. Dude is probably also the craziest toughest SOB in the game. Sadly, we just sent our resident "psycho" out the door. If Ron Artest gets hot and plays loose, Spurs will have a tougher than expected series.

All in all, Spurs just have too much talent, leadership, and experience to lose to the Lakers. Sure were not playing great but the playoffs are a different animal. Another gear is set and its time to go. Not to mention Pop continues to own Dantoni and teach him basketball lessons.

I wouldn't want to play Memphis or LAC, especially with a healthy CP3 and Tony not himself right now, I definitely think we could beat them but the Nuggets will definitely be better. Games so down in the playoffs and all the Nuggets do is run run run, their half court offense is not the best.

LA has been garbage all season long, even with a stupid amount of help from the refs.


This team with Kobe needed huge bailouts against the Grizz, Kings, Warriors, Blazers, Hornets, Minnesota, practically every single game down the stretch. Without the refs all of those games are most likely losses.

During Kobe's last 10 games the guy shot 67 FT's to Utah's 63 FT's as a TEAM :lol. Without these bailouts this Lakers team doesn't even have a better record than the Mavs.

[100%duncan]

Absolutely was worried about the Spurs level of play and health going into the series. Did not trust that Manu would be ready at all, TP would be close to full health and that LA who was starting to have Dwight/Pau put up monster games together would not be a tough, tough out. Obviously, with additional injuries and literally every health question (that was a known) going well for the Spurs, it turned out so much better than I thought. I never said LA would beat the Spurs, in fact the opposite. I just said I would not be overly shocked if it was a long series and the Spurs got dropped.

sorry but again, that bullshit that LA will get more championship than Spurs in next 10 years is nothing but pulled out of your ass bullshit. :rolleyes

come up with a realistic scenario and then we can start talking, otherwise STFU

The Lakers will win more titles than the Spurs over the next 10 years. Like it or not.

rascal where you at faggot?

Grow up. That is 8th grade trash talk.

:cry :cry :lmao

You must have your eyes closed to the Lakers history. The lakers will have no problem regrouping and will be a contender in no time. The spurs will need another franchise all time great lucky lottery ball bounce pick.

I figured you didn't have any realistic scenarios

chances of spurs getting another 1st round pick >>>> lakers chances of landing another Magic, or Kobe/Shaq/Gasol/Jackson combination

if I was a betting man, I'd say Spurs have better chance at success over lakers in next 10 years

there is no easy path against the thunder when durant can get fouls for someone looking at him and every time fisher hits the floor, even when he's on the bench, he gets an offensive foul call. it's damn near impossible to stop a team with the slightest bit of contact the whistle blows. we saw that last year

Well, I was talking about the Western Conference only. Of course the Heat have the easiest path with the East conference being a fucking joke and all that.

Did you just watch that abortion?

If Houston gets a couple of upsets the spurs path to the finals would include beating the 6, 7, and 8 seed :lmao

That was pretty damn easy, tbh.
