McDonald: Spurs' Measuring Stick Still That Lakers Bunch

[CubanMustGo]

Can we offer a retirement package to McDonald?

He should stop writing

They could get someone worse. Seriously.

It's not easy for print media to get talent these days, especially in a relative back-water like SA.

I'm pretty sure Allanon was joking..

Pretty sure he was as well. Allanon is one of many who can control their keyboards. No matter what team he pulls for.

The Lakers biggest strength is their deep bench, so if Odom/Farmar/Walton are all out then no it is not really indicative of what a playoff matchup would be like.

Leave it to coach Gregg Popovich, however, to pour cold water on any champagne party plans.

“We're in the same spot we've been in year after year,” Popovich said. “I'm just not in the same league with Phil Jackson right now.

fixed.

I honestly do not feel that Duncan, Manu and Parker fear this team at all when it was only due to luck; and a wrong call on Fishers shot that caused them to lose to Malone, Shaq, Kobe etc. This Spurs team also has more shooters and if they can develop or secure another big they can dominate the NBA going forward without fear of the Lakers, Celtics or any other pretender out there.

TD, Tony, Manu and Bruce has no reason to fear any opponent. They've won three of the last six championships and played in the incredible playoff games during that time.

The issue for me with the Spurs is do they have enough bullets in their Silver and Black gun. I believe so...with the addition of Mason and Hill! Also, those additions will help Finley and that's another bullet.

That's plenty of ammo to fire at the Lakers and the first shots will fired on Jan 14th!!

even if the spurs beat the lakers on jan 14th....won't mean much. The Lakers will be on the 2nd night of a back to back without key role players. Infact if the spurs don't win then that will really show how much better the lakers really are.

Whatever you say, Laker fan.
