Just curious, do laker fans feel that the spurs have a bad team? Because it can be argued the spurs as a team sucks, their only getting by with a few BS ref calls and etc...
BUT for being such a crap team, they've done well for themselves winning a couple of championship.
I mean when was the last time you've heard people clamoring that the spurs are a lock for the championship, other than spurs fans of course.
YET, you will hear lots of people, not just LA journalist and laker fans, saying LA will win the ship or repeat or what not. Basically, based on laker and other fans words, if the lakers don't win a ring that year, they fell below expectations.
The spurs on the other hand if they win a ring, or reach the finals, they have exceeded expectations.
