We need some more Laker Fan takes in here.
If any team can pull off a comeback against the odds it is the Spurs.
I am honest about the odds, but will keep the candle in the window until the final buzzer.
Don't give up yet. The odds are long, but people still get royal flushes occasionally.![]()

es...
for some reason the pressure is off the spurs now and on the Lakers to close out the Spurs at home. its funny right? you gotta beat these guys. no way they should win on you homecourt,but as we saw with Gasol last night how he choked under pressure by missing 2 FT attempts, anything can happen.
I have already made plans to work on Saturday for game six and to party after our game 7 victory.
Just think of how fantastic this comeback will look on our Championship DVD.

i so much like this thread! until we're officially dead i have hope on them...![]()
Now we will see if the spurs have the heart of the champion.
Go Spurs Go!
Positives going into game five.
1.) It won't be Eddie F. Rush. If it were, we as might as well quit now.
2.) We are due for a win in LA. We have lost five straight playoff games there.
3.) As xtremesteven just posted, the pressure has shifted. The Lakers younger players might begin to feel the pressure and start reading their numerous press clippings. It's easier to excel when expectations are low. Now they are expected to reach the Finals, especially by their bandwagon fan base.
4.) Spurs are like a family and the defending world champions. They will stay united and play for each other. This is the ultimate test for a championship team. I know they are capable of rising from the dead, but will they?
5.)All it takes is 1 to turn things around.
Thank God for SpursTalk. Here in Lakerland the Lakers have already been annointed the '08 champs. It's no fun.
Thanks timvp, for your always sane, calming presence. And for a thread of peace.
I believe. I always do. 1.

Lakers-Celtics
Celtics in 6.
It's not over until is over. I'm in! The odds are against the Spurs but is not impossible. I'm in. Believe!
Spurs got this .
GO SPURS i too still believe this isn't over
Game 5 is a formality. It's over, ontologically speaking, Thursday night.
All I know is that John Hollinger picked Lakers in 5, so we've got that working for us.
Man, I forgot about that. Great, now he's going to take this as a sign that his statiscal analysis is 110% correct all the time...
It's doable.
I hate how we basically spotted them Games 1 and 4.
And they look old and slow and tired like the Spurs always seem to in series that they've lost to the Lakers.
I'm a little stunned, because the Spurs should beat this team.
I agree Ghost. This team (Lakers) don't look as good as the Hornets. IMO, the Hornets were better, but obviously it doesn't seem right because the Spurs are down 3-1. The Spurs shot themselves in the foot in Game One and last night. To me, fatigue is wearing down on them more mentally than physically besides Manu.
The question I have is, do the players want this as bad as the Lakers? To me, it doesn't seem like it AT TIMES. Guys like Finely and Horry seem to just be like in another world. Like their planning their vacations already.
The way I see it...The Lakers lost to the Suns in the playoffs when they were up 3-1. And the Spurs were down 3-1 to the Mavs, and they managed to push for a Game 7.
Then again, Lakers are now a different team with Gasol and other players stepping up. Yet, the Mavs were incredibly difficult, offered a ton of match up issues to the Spurs.
I don't know what will happen, honestly.
Can it be done? I believe it can. The question is will they be actually able to do it? That requires not only mental toughness, but execution.
And another thing, perhaps Manu playing like Manu again can do the miracle.
All the pressure is on the Lakers now to close out the series; the Spurs have been left for dead. If the Spurs get their together and win game 5, I'm certain they will play in yet another game 7. I rather see that than lose the series in 5 games.
I'm not ready for this season to end. I hope they feel the same way.
It hurts now. We almost got game 1. We almost got game 4
But that's behind. Go there and win game 5
I still believe
