Were the Spurs intimidated by the Lakers this year, and if so, why do you think that?Quote:

Seen it before, not impressed. Regular season matters little when the Spurs face the Lakers in the playoffs.Quote:

Stephen Jackson was around for our '03 run, but we beat the Lakers 4-2 that year so Jackson is out.
Why don't you wait for this crap if and when LA or The Spurs get there! They have another round after this one you know and VERY tough opponents await them.Quote:

So a better indicator of what might occur if we play the Lakers would be 2008 playoffs and before instead of head to head this year? Beg to differ.Quote:

The problems are on offense. They've got no spacing with Mozgov-McGee.Quote:

Denver looks done.
Never said the Big 3 are intimidated by the Lakers. But I'm not surprised you would try to put words in my mouth.Quote:

Which players on our team are intimidated by the Lakers based on past playoff performance if not the Big 3?
So its easiest to tell if we can beat them after we beat them.Quote:

Everyone not named Bruce Bowen, from the head coach all the way down to the ball boy.Quote:

Look closely at the rim on the Denver Nuggets end in the first half. Compare it to the Lakers rim during the first half. Then watch the same Nuggets rim as the Lakers shoot in the second half.
Not saying the Lakers won because they had a tighter rim in the first half since they are clearly outplaying Denver in the second half.
Wait, so you were seriously contemplating this conspiracy theory in the game thread downstairs? :lolQuote:
