I know the answer to this!
RESPECT!
I don't know why, but they have a ton more than the Spurs do.
They looked so DOMINATING against the Celtics...NOT! If you punch them in the mouth, they'll go into a s . Had Perkins not injured his knee, that would have tilted GREEN. LALbandwagon won't tell you that but they know that if a team plays physical ball with them, that winning won't be as easy as they hope it will be. This was the 1 thing that Bruce NEVER wavered on. Play hard as you can, until you hear a whistle.

Kobe's season has been great, despite his fg %, he started the season shooting bricks but is getting better. Also, using the per36 we can see that he's putting some of the best stats of his career... While spurs' superstar is putting the worse numbers of his career (per36)...
So... don't go that route...
Lamar is also having his best season since he joined the lakers. He's attempting more FTs, making more FG, shotting at 57% (50% from the 3) and grabbing 11rpg, with 3,2 ORPG which is his career high..., Lamar is not a superstar and he is old too...
That dinosaur will show up in the playoffs, blake is stupendous improvement over jordan farmar (who couldn't learn the triangle after 500 years there), Brown is running for the MIP and the 6men of the year, barnes is a great improvement over walton(also having the best season of his career -per36), and once bynum comes back odom will come from the bench...they have a dinosaur if not a fossile at PG spot, a very sexy bench with blake,walton, ratliff and vuja ... The only guy I respect in this team is Gasol.
Walton, Sasha and Ratliff aren't even playing meaningful minutes... I dunno why you're mentioning them...
Sorry but if you fear dallas more than the lakers you're just dumb. Boston would beat us just like the lakers...
We can't win with a blair+duncan or bonner+duncan front court against Shaq/Perkins + Garnett nor against Gasol+Bynum or Odom + Gasol.

Kobe has the 2nd highest usage % of his career, which is why his raw numbers look good..it's pretty much impossible not to put up those kind of numbers with a 34% usage rate..his efficiency has been very poor, other than his FTs, which isn't a guarantee every night..he is also playing arguably and probably the worst defense of his career..
Your "shooting bricks, getting better" point is also false..there hasn't been any difference..
I guess what they say is true...ignorance is bliss.
Lakers have Kobe...When its all said and done that is the one major difference, the Lakers have the best closer in the NBA..
A market of 10 millions households.
The Lakers have a nice system and the good to great players to fill in every role of this system perfectly.
Thats it.
The system is the reason why stupid ppl throwing Gasol even in MVP considerations
It's all about match-ups. Last year, I think we could have done better against the Lakers than the suns did despite losing to the Suns. The Suns' style killed us but could do nothing against the Lakers' height. I think we at least would have pushed it to 6-7 games. Its the same this year. We can play with them and we can win most if not all the games against them if the Spurs are focused and ready on game day.
the only thing we have that you dont are injuries
The Lakers have the better offense, better defense, better franchise player, better closer, better big men, better p&R D, better coach..
I could go on.
Best post of the thread. Only way the spurs win a 7 game series assuming both teams are healthy is if the spurs get home court advantage and splitter gets 30+mpg giving the spurs some d and 7+rpg. Even then I'd say it's somewhere around a coin flip who wins the series at best.
The Lakers are stacked. Much better than last year.
They have two players in the top 10 and that is conservative.
Spurs will need to play their best and the Lakers will have to under perform, for us to beat them.
This really is a bull question.
Anyone who thinks there's a massive disparity between the Lakers and the Spurs is going to be in a for a surprise if/when these two teams meet in the playoffs. If the Spurs are healthy and Pop plays the rotation required to have a legit chance to beat the Lakers, this will probably be a seven game series.
The Spurs have won something like 32 out of their last 41 regular season games (I might be off slightly on that), with either the first or second best point differential in that span. This is no longer a good streak, this is clearly an elite team again. One that just so happens to have a lot of pieces necessary to challenge the Lakers.
The lakers have the better front office so they put a better team on the floor. They get their top star players through trades and free agency and get the best coach in the game. San Antonio drafts better that is it.
Manu plays for the Lakers?
The Lakers have a younger big man. That's about it.
The Spurs as presently constructed with a Tim Duncan in his prime or near it would have the potential to be one of the best teams in NBA history.
I think he's talking about Derek Fisher.
