LA beating us in previous series has been mostly due to LA packing the paint and daring us to shoot jumpers.

Parker is usually the only one who can do something off the dribble, but his layups are near impossible because Fisher is always very physical with him and LA has size in the post.

One of the things whottt used to always about was how LA would seriously DARE players like Ginobili, Bonner, and Parker to shoot 3's. Nothing was more pathetic than watching LA give Matt Bonner 6 feet of space, daring him to shoot an open 3, and he would either dribble and turn it over, or look to pass the ball.

Even when we hit the 3's, LA would stay around that paint and DARE us to keep knocking them down.

This strategy works to near perfection as the series in 04 and 08 showed.

I still don't trust Bonner for against LA, having faith in him in the playoffs is like MavFan getting excited for a basketball season.

The difference this year will be our refound team athleticism in Blair and Hill. And call me crazy but Neal just does not look like a man who will choke every game in a 7 game series like Bonner.

If/When we play LA, it will come down to us just doing our thing and knocking down those open 3's. Neal, Ginobili, RJ, Bonner, Hill, even Parker. If we hit them, we win the series, if we don't we lose. Simple as that.

L.a. beating us in the past had more to do with jackson ing to the officials at the press conference than anything the players did. No coincidence once he starts his whining Tony can get raped in the lane and not get a call.

wow that's great analysis, My worry is that in a seven game series the lakers will make adjustments and fix their problems, while the Spurs can't really improve significantly as their already close to 100 % in terms of cohesion. LA can always play smarter and better , while the Spurs can't grow taller to make up for the lenght advantage of LA

Great point

Spurs backcourt > Lakers backcourt... in fact best in the league. Fisher and the rest of the Laker guards aren't gonna any quicker either. we do have a card to play against them.

No offense but when the playoffs start is this game really going to matter?

no because these are 50-50 games at best. the ones that matter are those that you should have won but didn't. those are the games that will bite you in the ass. read that somewhere, written by a lakers fan no less.
