Congrats on the signing of Mcdyess, Lakers/Spurs is going to be fun...

The Spurs will essentially have five pieces against the Lakers in the playoffs that they didn't have in the 2008 WCF: Jefferson, McDyess, healthy Manu, an improved Hill/Mason.

The Spurs are the favorites.

Meanwhile the Lakers have Ron Artest to disrupt their offense and lost a Finals starter.

Stay thirsty my friends

For sure, looking forward to it, glad the West is staying strong too.

The Spurs got a player that helps them do what they do best even better. I look forward to seeing all the major team matchups. Celtics, Lakers, Magic, Spurs, and Cavs. It is going to be a rollercoaster season.



I would also disagree wholeheartedly with anyone that would argue that an upgraded championship team would not be the favorite vs any team in the league.

In order to play the top seed (Lakers) you're gonna need to advance in yhe playoffs...which you won't be able to do if ya'll face the Mavs. We all know you are a moron on here but even you realize this :elephant

We better get out of the first round next season...

Depends on if you consider it to be an upgrade (rather than a side step or bringing in a chemistry killer), I s'pose. All things will come to fruition soon enough and we'll see. Thanks for the proppers though, s'gonna be some heated battles.

This Laker fan friendlyness is dumb and uncalled for, and just feels wrong. The only laker fan allowed to not put down everything the spurs do is Allanon lol

Doubt it. Check with Vegas to see who the favorites are. It will be the lakers.

So which 12 of these guys would you put on the active roster?

1. Duncan
2. Ginobili
3. Parker
4. Jefferson
5. Dice
6. Mason
7. Hill
8. Mahinmi
9. Bonner
10. Finley
11. Hairston
12. Haislip
13. McClinton
14. Gist
15. Blair

That is a HELL of a good mix of proven guys mixed with young guns. :tu

Don't count the Mavs out if all their deals go through. I hate them, and their team annoys the hell out of me, but Gortat-Dirk-Marion-Howard-Kidd with Berrea and Terry off the bench can get hot and cause a lot of matchup problems for either us or the Lakers.

I don't think the Mavs will win it all, but I think they could knock one of us off.

I am sure we would have gotten out of the first round if Manu was healthy. :rollin

I still view the Spurs as underdog obviously, but god bless the world if both teams are healthy come WCF.

I have always given props to the Spurs Especially Duncan, Manu and Pop.
I have said many times I would take Pop over Phil (but now iwth 10 I would take Pop 2nd to Phil only)
I also think Duncan was better than Shaq except in Shaq's MVP year of 2000

Only spurs i dont like were Bowen and Parker ....in fact Spurs were my 2nd favorite team UNTIL I moved to SA and saw all the Laker hate ...but I respect your team ...your fans are a mixed bag.

Play against the Lakers? Can't wait... :drool:
