I still think that Mavs is the only team can beat the spurs in playoffs except Lakers

i highly doubt it

the last 2 years we have played the mavs 2 times late in the season in dallas and we have won both because the spurs had it together and finally saw how other teams exploited the mavs this aint the same mavs team that was better than us for ONE PLAY they dont have avery johnson anymore, they probably wont have crackhouse or devin harris im not saying we will win a sweep i say we would win in 6 games at worse this spurs team is so much etter than the 2006 team DALLAS WOULDNT STAND A CHANCE AGAINST MARK MY WORD well see about this later this month

[Kobe™]

I don't see anyone taking us farther then 5.

Oh hasn't history taught us anything?

It was the same story last year in the playoffs, the Lakers were heavily favored against the Celtics, I'm sure many forgot that after the 131-92 ass kicking, but despite their superior record and regular season, the Celtics were underdogs.

The Lakers were favorites, their bench was lauded yet grossly outplayed by the Celtics bench. The Zenmaster was lauded but grossly outcoached by Doc Rivers. The primadonna drama queen team adulterer was lauded but shot an abysmal 40%.

Same story, different year. The Lakers are a good team, very good in fact, but over hyped at the same time. Still too soft, still too reliant on finesse bull .

There are many years where this years Lakers team would win a le, but the problem for them this year is the King.

The Kobe/Pau/Bynum Lakers will not win a championship within the next 2-3 years. After that, their roster will be aged and the up and coming teams like the Jazz, Blazers, and Thunder will be ready to overlap them as Western juggernauts.

I think suns Lakers could be a good matchup, but they did just play detroit (no ing defense), so it might just be cake for the lakers.

i agree most TV experts picked the Lakers ....and i told some fellow Laker fans without Bynum i was nervous ...I dont think we are clear favorites and without Bynum I dont feel that way this year but with Bynum we are best in the league

You should hope LeBron decides to play football for a year later in his career, or the Rockets won't be winning any les either.


What happened to all that the Rocketfans were talking in the preseason?

[Xylus]

Suns are making the playoffs, sons!

I just hope porter takes not of yesterday's game. The Pistons suck, but the suns need to run a running offense when shaq is on the bench. Then slow it down and feed him when nash is on the bench. Of course D is a problem, but no need to f'up both Offense and Defense...

you need to chill. I don't have any beef with Dallas, i have relatives there and have been to games and cheered them on. In other words, it was a joke.

[jack sommerset]

The best thing about your post is how incredibly, obviously afraid of the Spurs you are.

I am so afraid of the Spews. I can't sleep the night before I play the Spews. I am afraid I will get shut out, I won't be able to defend the Mangoo, Duncan will go for 30 points and 20 rebounds. I pray coach keeps me on the bench.

You are a homer. I'm talking about if the season ended today that the NBA would have a pretty damn good 1st round in the West but the lame ass homer you are only can see I said the Spews could lose to the Mavericks.

"Obviously" such a .

LMAO @ drhouses signature pic

another insecure kobe sucker

LMAO when the Cavs beat the Lakers 4-2 in the Finals.

[j-money24]

I don't see anyone taking us farther then 5.

its time to take out that lamar garbage pic.
and dayum that gurl in ur avatar is sexy

[j-money24]

in my opinion, rockets are the only team i see that has portential and get it together by playoff time that would beat my lakers.

[sook]

te rockets don't even have their damn pick. This team will go nowhere WAKE THE UP MOREY AND DO SOMETHING

[ezau]

And the spurs will be resting their big three once more when Lakers beat the out of em'.

Get out of the first round with T-Maybe and we'll talk

Please, the Rockets don't have any potential. They've been an "on paper" team for years now.

No team with T-Quitter and Yao in its core will ever win a championship

Yao is an "empty stats" big man ala David West, Elton Brand, Al jefferson etc etc. These guys do not impact the gay in a way the likes of Shaq (in his prime), Duncan, and Hakeem do.

And then you have T-Quitter, the problem with T-Quitter is his mentality. T-Quitter isn't thinking about a championship, and thus doesn't play with an urgency that contending teams do. T-Quitter is thinking about shutting the critics up by getting out of the 1st round. But he's not even capable of that, due to his mental and physical frailties.

Oh, and then you have Ron Artest. Ron Artest isn't thinking about winning a championship, and thus does not play with the urgency contending teams do. He is thinking about his next rap album. Not to mention Artest was never a great player anyway.

But then you have a nice little bench and role players for the Rockets, the problem is role players and benches don't win championships if they're not complimenting superstars. The Rockets have no superstars.

Fixed.

No, it's not even close. Dirk makes a huge impact on the offenisve end of the floor. Brand/Jefferson/West/Yao just put up stats.

Defenses are always thrown in flux by our beloved Nowitzki, and if we had a back to basket player, slasher, or shooters, it'd cause fits.

Dirk is supposed to be a back to basket player. He's had 10 years in the league to master that game. David West is 6'8 or 6'9 at the most so he has to face up and shoot against bigger defenders. Dirk is taller than most PFs in the league. It's his job to post up down low.

[j-money24]

dirk is soft

[ezau]

4-1 without Bynum or a healthy Ariza. Yeah I'm sure he's shaking in his boots at the prospect of a Spurs/Lakres series.

4-1 with a Ginobili walking with one leg.

LA's winning percentage in the Finals= 48 %
Spurs' winning percentage in the Finals= 100 %

Is that some kind of rule?
