So, I assume Pop will have coplete roster available, and the Lakers are said to have Kobe back in the lineup. Can't wait to see Kawhi frustrating Kobe :rolleyes.
What are your predictions? Which team will win and why?
I bet on Spurs. Why? Because we are better :)
Spurs winning it. Kobe coming back means less possessions for Bynum/Gasol, and that's what kills us. I think putting Kawhi on Kobe is a good idea, and as long as he's making him work for his shots, we'll be fine.
Which coach Pop shows up tonight?
The one that plays his best players or the one that plays his "favorite" players?
This will decide the game...and actually this will also decide how far the spurs go this year.
The Spurs will win it, as long as Bynum doesn't try to knock Manu out of the air or something.
Khawi limited Kobe's shots will probably work to the lakers' advantage tbh.Quote:

I don't know, Kobe wants to put his stamp on this series before the playoffs incase of a possible playoff matchup. Wouldn't surprise me if Kobe jacks up 24 shots tonightQuote:

Fuck Kobe. Fucken' Mighty Mouse Wannabe' -- "Here I come to save the daaaaay!!!!!" :rollin
Uuummm... NO. You're not. The Pussy-Poser and his Pussy Posse' are GOING DOWN tonight! :ihit
:flag:
We all know it takes some time to readjust and what kind of shape is kobe in? I say we mix it up against bynum like we did last time. Being at home will help. We box out we win!
:pop: The team that defends better, gets the most stops, and scores the most points will likely be the winner of the game.
lol in all seriousness I hope we can pull it off. They will be playing with a chip on their shoulders like we were after being embarrassed. I just hope Pop doesn't go back to starting Dejuan again. That's probably my biggest fear!
If I see pop starting Tiago with Duncan like he did last time they played, we'll be off to a good start. I don't want to see Dejuan start. period.
I agree. Tony needs to come out hitting shots as does Green/Kawhi. Let Timmy/Tiago worry about defense and rebounding. Should they happen to get baskets in the process then greatQuote:

It'll be tough for the Spurs. I can't remember the last time they beat the Lakers in a game where both teams really needed it.
Spurs win as I go 6 for 6 with some Shiner, lime and salt. Hopefully we get to see Timmy and Tiago get some extended time.
don't really care. wish we rest our stars and no injuries.
ready for playoffs.
I wish I could go back in time and not read this : (.Quote:

IMO, TBQH, the team with the highest score at the end of the game will win FWIW.
Depends on who starts with Tim and if all the big 3 play. If Tiago starts with Tim, I think Spurs win. If Diaw starts with Tim, 65% chance. If Blair starts - 35% chance and it would take a monster game from him.
Blair is capable of disrupting game with the Lakers. He has done it in the past, but it would take smart play, good energy, and getting into Bynum's head. Probably a lot to ask.
:pop: "The one who scores more points." :pop:
Tiago starts with Tim, Spurs win. Against the big teams, this seems logical.
Thanks Pop! Continue on with your awesome season.
