You better f'in believe I'm back. And I got a list, long & distinguished that Luva gave me before he went on vacation to Branson.
Take solace, Ez...you ain't on it.

Lets see how lakers do without homecourt, and play tougher opponents than they used to.
I hope the Lakers are as stupid as their fans.
lol Spurs are a jump shooting team
They're (Dallas, Boston) coming back to us.
If Wallace will stay retired I don't fear Boston as much. Daddy is knowledgeable and would be stirred by then (June), but, Wallace is intractable Vs. us.
Perkins may not be right until two years after that knee injury.
If we can garner the second seed in the West we'd avoid you until late, when we'd see the lay of the land over a long period.
The Lakers have never had a problem winning on the road in the playoffs. I don't expect this season to be any different if they are without HCA the whole way through.
Bottom line is the Spurs are more of a gimmick regular season team than they are a serious playoff team at this point. I just don't see the necessary variables in that Spur's lineup that would make them champions. They simply have no front court size whatsoever and it is quite clear that Tim Duncan is on his last legs, he looks absolutely pedestrian on the floor. They are out-offensing their way to wins, they aren't doing it with defense. A recipe for disaster in the playoffs, go ask the Phoenix Suns.
Pop made a deal with the devil when he decided to eschew defense in favor of offense this season. This is now how the Spurs have ever won a championship for a reason. You will see come playoff time.
Spurs' defense: #8 in the NBA, 100.9 points allowed per 100 possessions, vs. the #9 most difficult schedule..
Lakers' defense: #10 in the NBA, 101.8 points allowed per 100 possessions, vs. the #29 most difficult schedule..
Pretty much owning dumbass Laker fan who obviously talks out of his ass.
^It's a valid hypothesis. Let us hope it's confirmed.
good stuff
the other guy should just drown himself in boiling water.

.500 team on the road in the playoffs. Thank your lucky stars your team had home court.
Realistically, ALL teams are jumpshooting teams. They get the vast majority of their shots that way.
from 82games
LAL 68% of shots are jumpers .450 eff FG%
SAS 71% of shots are jumpers .480 eff FG%
DAL 76% of shots are jumpers .484 eff FG%
We're closer to the Lakers mix than Dallas's. That crapola eff FG% also explains a lot of the Laker's struggles. They need to become a BETTER jumpshooting team, or someone is going to pack the lane and KO them from the playoffs.
The Butthurt is strong with this one
rofl dazed and confused got crucified in this thread
regular season statistics
This Laker core has proven that they can play at a completely higher tier defensively come playoff time. The Spurs don't have the personnel to do the same, which is obvious.
HH, quit throwing stats out, your gonna confuse them with knowledge.
Duncan, Ginoboli, and Parker are laughing at you right now.
Yeah, it was pretty obvious when they were whipping the Lakers' ass.
Ah yes, the same three guys that couldn't garner up enough heart to win one contest against a mediocre Suns team?
Hahaha
Just keep looking up at the standings.
You can go to that well too often, especially after a string of long playoff runs and summer NT play.
You aren't helping tbh.
Yeah, I was really thinking he should get back to the shallow end of the pool, myself.
Blair, 6-5 center owning the scary laker frontline. 3 Finals appearances, is impressive, but its bound to end sometime, all signs pointing that this is the year, you had a nice run.
