There won't be a battle for the ages because quite frankly the Spurs are not contenders nor are they on the same level as a fully healthy Laker team. I'm willing to bet the Spurs don't even make it as far as the WCF.
All the Spurs proved last night was that they could beat up a depleted Laker team that has zero motivation to play hard. Nothing special about the win and your own coach admitted as much.
Typical of Spur fan though they tend to miss the glaring weaknesses of their own team. I've been right about your team two years in a row. Not enough interior scoring, average defense, declining play from the superstars.
You will never win another NBA championship with your core. NEVER.
