What's your point? That because Bowen is now 4 years older than the last time they faced in the playoffs that he isn't young enough to keep up with Kobe without fouling him?
Lakers have also been fortunate playing the Nuggets and Jazz in the first round while the Spurs battled it out with 2 of the top 4 teams in the West. Lakers have yet to see adversity this playoffs. Game 1 they saw some of it, but in actuality it was only Game 1 of what should be a long series and they were playing at home.

Even Lakers fans know Bill is a tool.
The Hornets and the Suns are tough teams? Hornets tougher than Denver maybe, but not Utah. Suns are weaker than both. I am very surprised at the number of people that think Bill's article is off. If you are going off of the standings at the end of the year, then LA is the better team than the Spurs.
I thought this series was going to go 6 or 7 but not anymore. The Lakers are in the heads of the Spurs. At no point will they be able to think they are in the driver seat. And yes, you are going to have to beat us at home. Something teams have had a VERY HARD TIME WITH. The Spurs (and their fans) have watched the Lakers ruin their dreams time and time again. This probably won't be any different. I hope this thread is brought back in a week or two. Good Luck Spurs and hand us the torch. Our turn
Good, let them think this series is over. I kind of like Farmar, a guy with no accomplishments in this league, talking about what's going to take the wind out of the sails of a team that has won 3 championships in the last 5 years.
Keep talking about how much heart you guys have. Keep talking.
Keep talking.
You're absolutely right. Spurs should just forfeit now. Why are you even going to bother watching the next 3 games???
Since 2003, the Spurs have had a big bullseye on their back. Every team in the league has tried to bolster their roster specifically to beat the Spurs. If we do hand you the torch, and that's a huge if, I will be glad to put that bullseye on someone elses back.
Still in denial?
Might as well
I think you are the one seeing the adversity now. Phoenix was a joke and the Hornets are a new team to the big show. Talented, but brand new and inexperienced. Get ready, you are facing the #1 team in the west and you have your hands full now. You guys have a very talented team with playoff experience, but your older now and will have a tough time against this Laker team. Count on it.

lol and this is a sports writer for real? if i didnt know better i would assume he never watched basketball in his life
If coming back from a 20pt deficit late in the 3rd quarter to win a game against the best defensive team in the league isn't overcoming adversity I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.
The Lakers are doing to the Spurs what the Spurs did to the Suns in the first round.
Heh, I don't think the Laker players are quite as foolish as their sports writers...
We can just hope they are, though.![]()
Rumor has it Luke Walton is banging Lindsay Lohan.![]()
He'll be an even bigger non-factor then, i hear Herpes s up your game.
the spurs arent the best defensive team in the league
So Spurs outplay Lakers for 80% of the game and then blow it in the end go down 1-0 and this thing is over huh, give me a break.![]()
"Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and
beat you by experience"
I would just be happy to snag Lindsay's Mom!
Cougar Alert!![]()
Meanwhile, back at Bill Plaschke's House

I'm tired of hearing this bull saying this is like what the Spurs did to the Suns in Game 1 of the 1st round....uhhh yeah but don't you know we're not the ing Suns! The Spurs dont get rattled, they just got out of a series down 2-0 being blown out, down 3-2, and winning a Game 7 on the road, so don't even begin to compare the Suns to the Spurs, because there isnt a ing comparison! 4 les>0 les. Spurs>Suns. End of discussion. Spurs in 6....If the Spurs can be up 20 in game 1 at Staples after winning Game 7 on the road, sleeping on a plane, no rest, and only Tim, Tony, and Bruce contributing, then ing wait and see what happens when they start clicking on all cylinders.
No wonder Luke is in a slump. LiLo is a vampire.
yes, if you don't live in LA, you have no idea how bad we want this guy to move to SA. i had to send him hate mail over his article "this is the last team the lakers wanted to see". what an idiot! i hate SA with every ounce of life i have in me. that didn't stop me from betting everything i had against NO. you bet your sweet prairy asses we want to see SA. by the way SA, if the spurs are such a dynasty, can you guys get a repeat??? ever???
