Right...that's why we beat you by 15 points with Bynum. The last game in SA was just a fluke, as you Laker fans will find out much to your dismay come playoff time.
This is not another Spurs bashing thread, just a realistic preview of what the playoffs will bring should this match-up arise.
Frontcourt problems aside, the Spurs don't have anybody who demands a double team anymore. Manu can be guarded by Kobe or Ron 1-on-1, RJ is largely ineffective, and Tim is helpless against Bynum.
Tony Parker is the only Spur w/ a significant matchup advantage, but even that doesn't look good b/c he's not that great of an outside shooter. He will drive to the basket, but like we've seen from every Lakers-Spurs series, the paint will either be packed or he'll have to contend with our bigs. Notice how quickly LA was able to close out on your shooters last meeting? That's b/c hardly anybody had to leave their man for help D.
Tony Parker is the key for any chance the Spurs have. He needs to have a great shooting series and be quick with his passes. Otherwise this will be over fast.
Discuss.

Do the Spurs have anybody who demands a double, besides the occasional collapsing on TP when he drives?
The Spurs won't beat the Lakers in the playoffs because they won't play them. We'll beat San Antonio in the 2nd round and then we'll sweep the Lakers in the WCF.
Irrelevant...Spurs are still 2-1 over the Lakers this season, double or no double.
Wallace is the goods
OKC-Portland might be the best 1st round matchup we've seen in YEARS
I think you're wrong about that, but if it's indeed a Blazers-Lakers WCF, you know who I'll be rooting for, and it's not the Lakers...
On the double-team point: do the Celtics have anyone who demands a double-team?
I'd say no. Does that mean they can't beat LA? No, it doesn't. Good team play can make up for the lack of that one scoring stud.
Yeah, that'll save you
The Celtics play ELITE defense...the Spurs defense blows
Keep talking, bub...just wait until the playoffs...the Spurs will smash the Lakers...and that's IF the Lakers get by the Mavs, which is far from guaranteed.Yeah, that'll save you
by that logic the Heat will destroy the Lakers because they have 2 players that command double team.
Your words, not mine, bub...
No, the Spurs lack of a double-threat is the MAIN reason they won't beat LA.by that logic the Heat will destroy the Lakers because they have 2 players that command double team.
Others:
No offensive frontcourt presence
No defense
So you agree that the Heat would destroy the Lakers.
btw, your logic is severely flawed. Thus now you are backpedaling to No Defense, No frontcourt song and dance. That was quick
Heat thumped Lakers.
Spurs thumped Heat.
Lakers thumped Spurs.
Round and round we go...who really is the best???
Wait until the playoffs...then we'll all know.
By all means you are welcome to counter my points against the Spurs, if you can. Drawing upon the first two meetings where the Lakers were losing games against the Kings and Bucks around the same time is up to you.So you agree that the Heat would destroy the Lakers.
btw, your logic is severely flawed.
As for the Heat, they have nobody in the low post who can make Bynum, Gasol, or Odom work on the defensive end. Just drives form Wade and LeBron. Once again another team has to rely on jumpshots to beat the Lakers in the playoffs. You think that strategy will work?
I think everyone agrees with that. Parker has a great series we can beat the Lakers, Parker doesn't no way we beat them.
Your knowledge is astounding.
troll trying to become famous
There is always this regular series banter about the Spurs & Lakers playoff series yet the Spurs rarely even make it to the later rounds of the playoffs…In any case if Tony Parker plays consistently well the Spurs will be a tough match up…
Okay...you're clueless...
You don't have to tell me, I know.I think everyone agrees with that. Parker has a great series we can beat the Lakers, Parker doesn't no way we beat them.
Your knowledge is astounding.
