Agreed.I think this winning streak is getting to people.
I know that the Lakers are really dysfunctional and that I'd prefer playing them over Memphis, but that doesn't mean they're not a dangerous team imo.
With Blair and Bonner playing as the second and third bigs they'll still have a significant advantage in their frontcourt and if Kobe comes to his senses he'll likely have a field day as well. What with our wing players sagging to the post and all...
I'm not making any set predictions until we've seen them play but on paper the Lakers aren't a good match-up against the Spurs as it stands.
But the paranoia associated with the Memphis series is amazing. We are not even close to the same team. We were unathletic, old and injured. Splitter was held out. No Diaw, Jackson, Leonard, Green... We are a very different team. And we still hung when we were badly overmatched.
Personally I dont care what we are seeded. And winning streaks are meaningless. I would rather go out early if we have not gelled enough to win it all. Therefore I dont mind LA or Memphis 1st round. We have a far superior group talent wise. People just dont get that this is not the same team.
I also stream LA. I believe they are better at PG, but Sessions is not as good as Fisher on D as weird as that seems. He is not as strong and does not draw charges. Right now, they are dysfunctional. McRoberts is actually a nice addition imo. They go 8 deep imo, so that is enough for the playoffs if they can turn it around mentally.

I agree with what you said but it isn't just the winning streak that we're excited about, it's the entire year we've been having. Everyone is clicking and the new guys are fitting into the system perfectly. It's all something to feel confident about heading into the postseasonI think this winning streak is getting to people.
U should cause I'm sure u won't be on this board talking after that L.
I hear you. And I would actually agree with you that this isn't the same team. I couldn't see last year's team getting past the second round but this one could get to the Finals. That's an accomplishment imo.
I still think that Splitter/Diaw > Bonner/Blair is going to determine how far we get though. After the Chicago, Miami, and Boston games I'm not 100% sold. Closer to 75%-80% I'd say.
I'm pretty happy with how the season is going as well. In fact, I would be really surprised to see this team get knocked out in the first or second round.
That being said, the Spurs are going to be extremely match-up dependent in the postseason at the rate things are progressing. I'm having trouble putting my finger on it but something doesn't quite feel right to me.
I talked after the Lakers lost to the Wizards and Pistons too...Lakerfans don't spill seed all over themselves over regular season games like Spurfans do
We all saw where that got you last year
More like lakerfans just love to talk no matter what lol. That's what u should say and it actually is true. I stay in southern cal and a little over a year and a half ago some lakerfan came over to bother me cause I had a spurs T on. After a few times I tried to let him know he was barking up the wrong tree, I put his ass to sleep and left him right there where I found him and walked right out the bar. Lol
That's is pretty funny huh? Lol it deffinatly won't be the last time I have to do that lol.
I don't give a that the Mavs shot more free throws. Every time the Mavs got close, zebras were bailing the Heat out. 2006 was one of the worst things to experience as a sports fan. Until you have experienced something like that, you really don't have any room to talk. The Heat and DWhistle ripped the hearts out of the Mavs and their fans. I have no sympathy for Wade or the Heat. Until the Mavs win a championship, I'm never gonna let 2006 go. Sorry, not gonna happen.
Lakerfan can't troll the nba forum anymore so they have to go upstairs to try to bring us spurfan back to earth. this team is drastically different from last year's so i can see why you guys are up here talking . you scared.
I like that quote man it changes the subject and lightens the mood.
The Spurs are going to level up, indeed. Nevertheless, they are still not going to do anything in the playoffs.Lakerfan can't troll the nba forum anymore so they have to go upstairs to try to bring us spurfan back to earth. this team is drastically different from last year's so i can see why you guys are up here talking . you scared.
It's a nice achievement to grab #1 in the West. But the bucket stops there
Oh like the fakers are gonna do anything lmao!The Spurs are going to level up, indeed. Nevertheless, they are still not going to do anything in the playoffs.

What does the Lakers' playoff chances have to do with an eventual Spurs playoff disappointment?
When did Lakerfan stop trolling the NBA forum?Lakerfan can't troll the nba forum anymore so they have to go upstairs to try to bring us spurfan back to earth. this team is drastically different from last year's so i can see why you guys are up here talking . you scared.
Lol Lakerfan going into a Spurs thread in the Spurs forum talking noise and the saying Spurfan is scared.
You ARE scared...even LJ--whose posts you genuflect to every day--says the Lakers are a terrible matchup for the Spurs.
