But most Laker fans with brains know you guys will get it togeather and when healthy will be the biggest challenger to the Lakers in the west.
Denver are very good but don't have the IQ to beat L.A...no matter what some Laker trolls say about your team you know they are just bursting your balls and looking for a reaction. Deepdown they respect your team and know you guys are still a legit contender.
Duncan, Parker, Manu if he gets healthy will cause plenty of problems for the Lakers in a 7 game series.
I'm looking forward to the first meeting in Jan but like all you guys should know the outcome of that first meeting wont mean a whole lot until the outcome of the other 3 meetings happen.
Pretty sad when Laker Fan has more sensibility than half the Spurs fans around here.
what dex said
we both know who the real challengers are and it'll be interesting to see what happens
yea, we may need a bit more time too but im confident things will turn around and we will gel by march/april.
and with the first selction in the 2010 draft, the spurs select...
no, j/k, we will be alright
...it just doesnt feel good, if health is our biggest need and only weeks into the season, we have so many problems in this department.
how are the odds of the big 4 going healthy into the playoffs?

I am going to hate the player and not the game just for this time..
Well said! Spurs will work it out and I cannot wait to see them play the lakers.
It should be a nice matchup. Last season we won that one game cause we shot lights out. This season I want to see our defense give the lakers some problems along with our new additions offensively.
The spurs will be the biggest challenge for your lakers? Ha you have to be kidding me. We already beat you at home and I'm sure we will continue to sweep you the rest of the season.
-the only good Texas team, Dallas Mavericks
We have beaten the lakers twice in the last decade. When's the last time you have beaten them in the postseason? Oh and Dirk will be cancelled out by Odom. After that yall only have one big man, and his name is Erica, thats real intimidating to the other bigmen in the league.
dallas where they think the regular season is where you win championships
dallas where they think the regular season is where you win championships
I have to agree with op. Eventually the spurs are going to get their wheels rolling on the right direction. I hope the lakers and spurs meet in the Wcf this year,

This is the same I tell Dallas fans all the time, the Mavs will never demand the respect that the Spurs get from other contenders and their fanbases because of their playoff failures.
Here's to meeting the Lakeshow in the WCF
There's a difference between being frustrated and simply being a weak ass fair weather fan. Calling for major trades, firings, tankings, and for players to play injured 10 games into the season is plain re ed...than when the going gets good these fans come back and act as if they were along for the ride the whole time. Thats annoying as , some of yall mfkers dont even deserve to be fans of a team like the Spurs.
just poppin s left and right POW POW
You mean a 5 game series. That's all SA has left. Maybe win one game at home against the Lake Show.
Yes I respect the Spurs but they've been done since the 08 WCF. SA needs to prove they can beat Dallas before even thinking about the Lakers.
its good to hear a la fan give sa some respect, we know the lakers are going to be nutty this year, i just want both teams to go at eachother full throttle and healthy, i dont mind getting kicked out of the playoffs if we gave it our best shot, and i wouldnt enjoy beating the lakers if kobe wasnt there, i'd be happy no doubt but an even playing field would be greatly appreciated!! I hope the basketball gods are listening
I do agree with the OP about everything except that the Spurs will be the Lakers biggest challenge. I just don't see it no matter how much better the Spurs get. The Lakers front line is just too big for the Spurs and that, to me, is the difference. I could be wrong but I doubt it.
One early season loss and we have an excuse, one early season win and cries of greatness. Is this a Mavs forum? I didn't get the memo.
You would have never thought this was the 4 time NBA championships fans site. You should know better.
Now don't get me wrong, I don't feel sorry for the Spurs at all and i find this forum more entertaining than ever before. I was here when the Lakers were not doing good and you guys were brutal.
It's Karma.
True the Spurs haven't been the same powerhouse in recent years but isn't "done" a bit strong? This same team, struggling with age & injury, managed to win their division last year. And yes we lost to Dallas-the better team won that series. Dallas also beat the Spurs, arguably in their prime, beat the Spurs the wcf in '06. Mavericks match up well w/Spurs. Thus far, season series is tied 1-1 each team winning on its own court.
Spurs aren't looking special at all. But I'm going to withold my judgment to see if this team can get it together. Perhaps they will, perhaps they won't......time will tell.
Nice to hear some mutual respect for change instead of the usual smacktalk.
And I wouldn't necessarily discount Denver-I sort of dismissed them myself but they're proving me wrong thus far. They may become your biggest rival if that 1st match up b/t the teams is any indication (and I realize Pau wasn't playing).
Spurs are not playing well right now w/injuries and Pop trying to find a lineup that works. But I believe in Pop so we'll see what will happen as time passes.
And I may dare to mention that....perhaps this lineup may not gell into say......2010???!!!
