    All I am doing is pointing out some potential problem areas. Things that I see that could cause the series to be very tough if they continue. Do you see any problem areas Zosa?

    Despite my post above ...I actually think a WCF Lakers and spurs would be epic.
    More times than not it has not been so (close) in fact, since Duncn was drafted there has been only one maybe two close series between the two ...with the winning team dominating the matchup There have been no classic 7 game duel with both teams peaking or healthy at the same time. We are ovedue for one.

    Here are some highlights of the past few matchups
    - Spurs shutdown the Forum
    - Lakers prevented a spurs repeat in 2000, 2004
    - Derek fisher going crazy from 3
    - Kobe with the offensive board and put buck to put the nail in the coffin
    - 4-1 in 2008
    - Horry defecting to Spurs
    - .04
    - Spurs stealing George hill late in 1st round ... Lakers were planning to draft him top of the 2nd round ....

    Great moments but what is missing is a real great NBA Classic/greatest matchups type series between the two. in fact the only game they show is the .04 game ....

    I think a matchup bewteen the two could bring us an all-time classic.

    Lakers &
    Duncan vs. Pau
    Bynum vs. Dice
    RJ vs. Ron
    Kobe vs. hill
    Parker vs. fish
    Manu vs. LO

    Pop vs. Phil

    now THAT is a series!!!

    Yes, I know Utah/Denver or suns have something to say about it ...but Everyone wanted this matchup in the pre-season i pray we get it ....

    I agree with your points concerning the Suns, but I don't think the Spurs and Mavs were such a terrible matchup. A tough matchup, yes, not a terrible matchup. But since you meant tough apparently ...

    No Manu, no McDyess, too little Hill too late,with Bonner and Mason forced into major roles? You can't even compare this season's matchup with last season's, but yes, last season the Mavs were much closer to "terrible."

    Before this series, the Spurs had vastly underachieved. The Mavs made the big trade and were playing very well after the all star break.

    Dice came out of no where to play very well. Obviously, hind sight is 20-20, but going into the series, there was a reason why Dallas was the favorite. Out of all the teams to draw in the first round, the Mavs were the worst imo outside of LA.

    If the Spurs make it out of the west I'd love to see a Spurs/Celtics finals. Although its obviously a long shot, that would be a great series to watch.

    Dallas was not the favorite to everyone. I had Spurs in 7.

    Spurs were going into the playoffs as the 2nd hottest team in the league and the team that "noone wanted to face in the 1st round"

    Yup, Spurs were eliminated in the first round by the Suns after Duncan missed all of the playoff due to a knee injury. Maybe Killakobe81 meant 2004 and 2008(though this one seems to be a stretch - I don't think anyone was beating Boston that year).

    TBH from the Lakerside I do not consider the Spurs rivals and definitely not our "fiercest" rivals that is only the Celts and I also dislike Portland Sac and Utah (though DWILL maybe my currrent favorite non Laker)

    i only started to dislike the spurs when I moved to SA and started lurking on this site and saw and heard all the hate SPURS fan has for the Lakers ...

    I respect the Spurs especially manu and duncan but consider them rivals? Nah. We have owned the spurs in most playoffs even when they have beaten us in the regular season ...

    in my years of watching basketball the spurs have beaten us maybe once IIRC ...that is not a rivalry. That is almost like Spurs saying suns are their biggest rival ...

    Spurs and lakers are brought together because in the past decade they traded le runs ...but really we "own" the spurs much like the Spurs "own" th Suns ....

    If Spurs beat us THIS year maybe I will feel differently
    Going by that theory ... Lakers are yet to beat hte suns in the PO. Point is when the spurs were awesome in 05,06,07 lakers were sucking. Not our fault. End of the day, lakers & Spurs have combined for 8 championships since 1999. lets see what happens this year.

    Utopia is never achieved.

    You're just qualifying the result in case you lose. That's weak.
