Everyone would click on a Laker story (you did), no one would click on a Spurs story. It'll generate more hits and money to not talk about the Spurs.
under the radar is better though, tbh.
Yahoo! Sports has no respect for SA. Just CONTINUES to worship the fakers. Yuck.

Out of the Lakers, Thunder, and Memphis, who is our biggest obstacle?
Nice thing is Lakers and Thunder can beat themselves up and we'll take winner.
I don't think Memphis is as good as they were last year. Gasol and ZBo are not playing out of their minds. Still... if the Lakers take care of Thunder, that means they are for real and playing to their strength (size). That plays right into our weakness. We'd need to speed the game up.
They do look like contenders, why u mad. Btw Greg Anthony picked us at the beginning of the season but if I remember correctly retracted after the blowout loss to Miami. We already have a spurs fanboy at espn in Skip, we don't need the whole crew tbh.
Edit : my bad it's yahoo.
Yeah I don't get why others are acting like its a given okc is going to WCF
they're all on the same plane of "they should give us trouble, but we should win if we play our best ball"
they all have weaknesses, just different ones we can exploit
OKC- execution
Lakers- depth
Memphis- Gay
Tbdh, this is very annoying and will surely hurt our team's confidence.
Complete? Pshh , all i'm seeing is Bynum and Kobe . tbhKobe Bryant and the L.A. Lakers are playing as a complete team early in their series against the Nuggets.
This is news to me. I've never heard anybody ever complain about media recognition.
good, so when we the spurs kick their asses the tshirts cant talk about it.
Scared
We live in a Lakers-centric world, what can i say.
So the Lakers are up 2-0, and they become the team to beat in the West. The Spurs are in the midst of a 12 game win streak and have the biggest blowout of the playoffs and they aren't. smh
We've already established that the average person might watch an NBA game on TV if the Lakers are involved, as many to root against them as to root for them. The reaction to the Spurs is largely indifference that has little to do with the quality of basketball or the watcher's knowledge of the sport. Can we let it go, at least while the Spurs are healthy and playing well?
PS: The Spurs have become the sexy pick among the experts. I really don't like that at all.
Exactly. The Cowboys and Yankees largely get the exact same treatment, but ESPN doesn't drive that interest, the public does. People like reality shows too.
As long as Bynum is playing the way he has been and they have Kobe, they are contenders.
I am a bit embarrassed as a Spurs fan at this thread. Either you did not listen to the video, or you expect something that will never happen-hype and hope that the Spurs have an uncontested path to the finals.
The video says the Lakers, Oklahoma, Spurs, Dallas and Griz all have a shot, with the Spurs and Oklahoma being the primary obstacles for the Lakers.
The video does not even say the Lakers are favored over Ok and SA, so I don't know what else you want.
All they are saying is the Lakers have a legit shot, which is true, especially given the way they are playing now.
Finally, some sense in this thread. And someone who finally watched the video and understood it.
I would put the Lakers chances slightly above the Celtics, they have a shot, just not a good one. I know Kobe and Dirk are curse words, but when those guys are on fire they can throw up forty points in a night and there isn't you can do about it. The Lakers and Dallas will always have a punchers chance.
Lakers vs Miami in the finals.
Spurs weak frontline will kill them against Gasol and Bynum.
With Bynum and Gasol, they'll have better than a puncher's chance, I think. I don't like the odds of Bynum staying focused long enough to rack up 16 playoff wins, but that kid has all the talent in the world. If he decides to turn it on and figures out how to keep it turned on, they can destroy pretty much any team in the league.
Never count the Lakers out until the head has been sawed off and the stake driven through the heart.
lol I don't know if you are trolling or if you cut and paste that from ESPN
Kobe is doing his best Phil Jackson impersonation to keep Bynum happy, but it won't last. First sign of adversity and we will see Andrew-tantrum-Bynum implode and take the team with him. I would be shocked to see them get past OKC.
Yet another butthurt thread, by yet another GNSF, lol.
It has been going that way for what ? two decades and counting ? Let it go, and let the players do the talking and refuting on the court.
How is Indonesia? I watched a do entary on TV and saw that Indonesia has a cemetery with a hotel in it.Yet another butthurt thread, by yet another GNSF, lol.

The Spurs can't complain about how the seeding worked out this year.
Three teams are head and shoulders above the others. In that situation, the #1 seed has a huge advantage, only having to play one of the other top two. The #2 and 3 seeds, on the other hand, could have to play each of the other two.
Plus, in this situation, although the Spurs might have trouble beating the Lakers, they could have an easier time with OKC. As luck would have it, OKC appears to be the Lakers' Kryptonite, so OKC can do the Spurs' dirty work.
Either way, the Spurs just have to beat one of 'em (if they can beat the Clips/Memphis winner, that is).
