Spurs were very flat last Sunday
And the Mavs are the Mavs
That being said, they are still the defending champs
I hate to admit it, but the Lakers look pretty in' scary right now. It's going to take a Herculean effort and perfect blend of near symbiotic teamwork, lights out shooting, close out D, advantageous momentum and luck in regard to injuries for a team to dethrone LA. However, there's always a chance of a big upset in the NBA playoffs and that's why fans watch.
Regardless of record, the Lakers are, and always have been, the favorite to win the championship this year. Not to mention, net the franchise it's 2nd 3peat in 11 seasons, solidify Phil "Auerbach" Jackson's legacy as the greatest coach of the modern era and, at long last, give Kobe=MJ a whiff of legitimacy.
The stakes are high, friends. I will be forced to give the Lakers, Phil , Kobe all due respect if they can hold serve again, but I really would rather not. It's a great story line and I'm really looking forward to the playoffs, but I will, hopefully, be pleasantly surprised by the annihilation of the possibility of a trite, predictable Hollywood ending.

Yep Evil will prevail just like the song.
Give me a goddamn break. Let's play the games first. We'll see who holds up in the playoffs. This is the same people were saying in 2003 when they were going for the 4 peat. Then we crushed them at home and made them cry.
Yep. That would be cool, and . . . I ain't talkin' . So, you give me a goddamn break.

lol That Spurs team was way more more prepared to knock out the Lakers team than this years Spurs. I think the Spurs only hope is if the Mavs mysteriously found a way to beat the Lakers and then they could beat the Mavs.
Why in the world can't 50,000,000 laker fans be wrong? The number of believers has nothing to do with how correct their belief is.
special place in for 50,000,000
you ever heard of "Mob Mentality" or "Herd beahavior"?
Laker Nation is THE ing definition of those sayings.
A single person is not stupid.... People are stupid....
Laker fans = sheep....
Just follow the herd.....
Keep taking that Kobe deep throat.....
slurp, slurp, gurggle, gurggle.
One slightly sprained ankle poses an issue. See Spurs 2008 Manu playing on 1 leg.
Bean will probably miss Monday's game. That ankle is going to swell like a balloon. Trainers are going to have to work extra hard the next 48 to minimize the pain and swelling. Bean boy is a fast healer but even then...that ankle looked like sideways. It's easy to get a player to finish a game with heavy tape and if he's got a good pain threshold like Bean. But no matter, that ankle is going to pose an issue for a few weeks...if not longer.
What's your point? His ankle won't stop him from missing the playoffs. That's what matters, tbh. They've beaten their two biggest deterrents to winning the WC. On the road no less. If he doesn't play Monday doesn't matter. he could take a week off if it came to it. The Lakers just showed the world that they are still top dogs in the WC. Again (with or without HCA).
What hes saying is that ankle of Kobe's won't fully heal till the Summer.
Look, I acknowledge that the Lakers are the defending champions, & that they're a force to be reckoned with, but you can't let a couple of well played streaky games speak for the whole season played thus far. If the Lakers had beaten the Spurs twice in the season, & the Spurs came into Staples and spanked the Lakers by 30 in the third game, it would be sheer luck on account of the Spurs, so I don't agree, I don't think the Lakers have established themselves as top dogs yet, maybe if we meet in the playoffs and the Lakers sweep the Spurs will I eat these words.
Bull . That 03 teams limped into the playoffs playing bad ball, struggling to get by the twolves. Even then the Spurs were one Horry 3 from going to LA down 3-2. Considering that the Spurs have only beaten LA 1 in 5 tries in the Phil Jackson era, 03 was more of the exception rather than the rule.
But I agree we'll see who holds up in the playoffs.
Look at the season records so far...
You are what your record says you are.
Last season the lakers dominated the league in the regular season...they were who they were...the best team by virtue of the best season record.
People thought that because the lakers stumbled a bit at the end of the season that someone else might beat them in the playoffs.
But in the end the team with the best record ended up being the best team period. (let's NOT mention the 25 free throws in the last 20 minutes of game 7 for now)
This season the Spurs have dominated the entire league and they are who the record says they are...the best team in the league--period.
There are a buncha people here trying to discount that--and say that the lakers this or that or the length this or that or kobe this or that....blah....blah... in' blah...
The Spurs have dominated this season and in the end they will simply be who they have been all THIS season...the best team in the entire NBA--period.

You go girl.....
Don't speak to me you welching piece of .
Your word is , your comments irrelevant, your name is ...all of your troll names.

^Accurate.
Like:::
Kobe: 5
Duncan: 4
Lakers are still the favorites, although not by a significant margin, but like I said earlier in the season, if they win this year, barring injuries, it would be one of the most impressive playoff runs in NBA history, considering the mileage and potential opponents..
Dallas/San Antonio and either Miami/Boston/Chicago would be a very impressive run, especially compared to their previous 2, 2 of the easier runs in recent history..
Lakers have been impressive during this run due to Bynum's emergence and LA's role players stepping up..Bynum's health and the emergence of their role players are 2 question marks for the playoffs..
If they make it to the Finals, they should hope Boston makes it, that would be a much easier match up for LA IMO..
I have a feeling this isn't the only area where we differ, candypants. Of course, the Lakers losing is going to be an upset. They're the defending champs, duh. You can climb up mountain, let your raisins "hang" and rain piss on nothing all you like because, and let's be clear . . . you won't win anything . . . you will still be a loser talkin' on the internet and you will still be terrible at it and no one will give a just like now. Being a front runnin' idiot does not give you any cache with me. Tell your story walkin', hooker.
