So basically the Lakers will go to the Finals... not like anybody every doubted that. The Mavs are 1 and done and the Spurs aren't beating LA. Only hope left is for the Bulls to win it all
I just feel it. Right now they're in a race to pile up stupid losses to end the season but both teams will be in full business in the playoffs. I just don't see how the gimmick San Antonio lineup and offense will beat Dallas or LA in a 7-game series.
Feel free to chime in Spurfans, or offer your parting shot if you agree with me.

Isn't One on Five more of a "Gimmick" offense than heavy pick and roll or drive and kick?
Kobe in Ball hog mode will not be successful. He'll make some amazing shots but some of the stuff he did last night was just lousy basketball. His teamates were just left behind.
BTW, Queen Phillip looks like total crap. He'd better retire after this year or he may die on the court if he keeps doing the coaching thing.
Dallas is piling up losses because they SUCK. That is all.
You also felt that the Spurs wouldn't win 50 games this season, right?
Lakers in the catbird seat again, what a surprise.
OKC is LAL's biggest threat out West right now.
They can win 80 regular season games and I can lose 10 sig bets and it won't still change the fact that I still don't fear the Spurs in a 7-game series.
There will be no LA Dallas series. Dallas is trowing there final games as fast as they can to let OKC pass them.
Problem with this strategy is they might not get past Denver.
Seem to remember plenty of people saying this same the last two seasons as well...
blah blah blah, your signature reflects yourself!
great reply
kobe in ballhog mode will not win championships
son that is a hot pile of bull . Whether kobe hogs the ball ot not is immaterial to the premise that the spurs ain't reaching the finals
this is why I like this prediction...
I figured this much too. I think OKC ending 2nd messes things up considerably for LA
This is pretty much just a way of saying "the Lakers are going to the Finals," because Dallas isn't beating the Lakers and they have looked pretty bad down the stretch. That's not me being an ass, but sincerely, they haven't looked too good lately and judging by the comments made by various krew posters, I assume most of them are discontent with their team's play as of late. And if the Spurs ended up playing them in the WCF for some reason, I'd lose no sleep over picking Spurs in 5/6.
I wouldn't sleep on OKC Venti, they have looked very good since acquiring Perk.
I'm pretty sure half the suicidal fans upstairs felt the same way
Nope. The pick and roll is the most gimmicky play ever run in basketball.
Not to offend you but I guess you can attest to this. The Suns pick and rolled to death. They were a good regular season team but they were negated in the conference finals by a good team with some brains and an offense better than the pick and roll.
That was basically over relying on offense to win games. It wasn't bad offense, they lost games because they couldn't defend, by their ability and game plan.
That won't happen with the Spurs, they migth loose by ability but not by game plan.
You'll see them using a lot more half court offense than in the regular season, and Tim Duncan will be having a lot more touches in the post too. There will be a fair share of pick n roll as it's always been, and because it's the most effective play for Ginobili. Also, good 3 point shooting teams always happened in the Spurs championships seasons.
But it won't be anything comparable to the Phoenix Suns teams. They won't loose because of a gimmick offence. They migth loose, and probably will, because of superior talent on other teams like the Lakers, but they will still try do it the rigth way.
insightfull, well though out analysis and comments such as yours traditionally refelect ivy league educations....
They're might not even be a Lakers-Mavs series now if OKC passes the Mavs....
really?thanks, nobody would've known if you didn't drop the info.
You don't have to, dear. It just makes us feel comfortable. So keep it up.
Why do you say that?
