In order for SA to win a le this year....

[slayermin]

Against the Lakers, it will come down to three point shooting as it always does. If Bonner and RJ shrink up under the bright lights, we have no shot. We need a Jaren Jackson or Stephen Jackson type playoff performance from someone to beat those guys.

Didn't they in 2007 with the Mavericks and Pistons?

fool, the 07 Spurs balled hard to get that ship. quit talking mess.

[DeadlyDynasty]

You would have to be crazy to WANT to play the Lakers in the WCF.

I get it . . . I do. The Lakers are going to be the toughest out for sure and I would be happy with another LOB any way it comes, but I would really love to see the Spurs beat LA to do it. It's with respect to the Lakers as defending champs to know that it means more.

[ohmwrecker]

Chris Webber is calling for you.

I hear ya...Tim's gonna need a lot of help down low to make that happen though.

Chris Webber is calling for you.

Webber, Stojakovic, Christie, Divac, and the rest of the bunch have nobody to blame but themselves. Bibby is the only one with a legit gripe. The rest of them were career choke-artists.

I honestly don't get why the majority of Spurs fans on this board consider SA beating DAL in a 7-game series a foregone conclusion...

[wunderkindepiphany]

Cali giving the Mavs no love. haha

+1. IMO, if you truly consider yourself a le contender, you want to beat the best.

[DMC]

Like getting swept by the Suns

Your team was ousted by a team that was swept by the Suns...

[SpursDynasty85]

I guess I am crazy, but I feel like that is a pretty horrible at ude for a team that wants to win a championship to carry into the post season.

Not if you are one of the top 3 teams that have a shot to win the west

[BlairForceDejuan]

Agree with OP. Not looking forward to seeing Chandler pwn our frontcourt tbh.

[ohmwrecker]

I don't see how that makes a difference.

[Waps1980]

You be trippin if you think we can't take on LA, even last year we could go with them.
They may have the timber but who's going to run with TP....way to quick for the fish.
I think we match up with them pretty well and can beat them easier than Dallas

[024]

i actually agree with this. i just hope the spurs don't do the lakers a favor and knock out dallas for them.

[superbigtime]

LA has had EZ playoff matchups because of their seeding, time for the spurs to do the same.

[Pauleta14]

The only reason I'd like the mavs to face the lakers during the PO is that we won't have to face one of them...

The only thing I fear against the lakers is the refering

This.

I don't think either team can beat the spurs in a series this year---but I think the spurs would have a harder time with the mavs.

[Cessation]

I think we have a descent chance to beat la, considering how lakers have played this year, but our chances for championship are increased if mavs and lakers face of first.

[tmtcsc]

I'm not talking , but there's just absolutely no way the Spurs can match up with LA's frontcourt. Who guards Odom? Who guards Gasol? Who guards Bynum?

GNSF can throw around all the Mavs choking references they want to, but it still won't change the fact that they'll need Dallas to beat LA for them since they are better equipped

Jefferson guards Odom, Duncan takes Gasol, Blair takes Artest, Gino takes Bryant and Parker takes Blake.

See, not so hard. Obviously, it will take a concerted effort to guard Gasol and Bryant but it can be done.

[tmtcsc]

I said it last year and I'll say it again. I would want to see us take on both the Mavs and the Lakers. It doesn't get more rewarding than that. Spurs vs Boston, Spurs defeat the last two defending Champs on the way to # 5.
