I have us with 4 to 5 more losses by the end of the season. We will have home court throughout the playoffs. We will met the winner of Dallas and LA in the WCF. I like our chances.

I hope it plays out that way. Dallas kicking Memphis right now, looks like they will win again today if that score can hold up. Dallas just will not lose it seems.
Another positive: Grizzlies beat the Mavs today.
that's number 5 I think
Another positive: Nobody on ESPN will be talking about the Spurs beating the Heat, but will be back to "Lakers are the best team, Spurs are old and done". Spurs can start playing good basketball again; they suck when people say nice things about them.
what he said
6th positive:
If Andrew Bynum was healthy today that means he'll likely be hurt come May...
I lazily tried to get some stats but what's the lakers record with above .500 teams?
What makes you so sure?
I like the shot at the end of the game when Tony looked all down and Manu shook him on the shoulder like to say "we's aight".
Surprisingly, us losing to the Lakers today has been kinda brushed off to the side today with the Heat sucking so bad lately and the news that some Heat players were crying in the locker room....
Yeah...the media fascination with the Heat this year is downright hilarious.![]()

Four-time champs RT @JMcDonald_SAEN: McDyess said Pop didn't take LA loss out on team in practice. "We took it out on each other."
I like the kick in the A@@ positive.
The Spurs looked like they where moving in slow motion yesterday.
In retropsect it was the 4th game in 6 days.
However give LAL credit- they played great.
if there ever is a positive ass kicking this was it.. woke them up and showed them a glimpse of what they could face in the playoffs...
I would've preferred the wake-up call come from someone else though. Would've been much sweeter to not give LA any daylight/confidence against us in the future
Dallas loses![]()
They had a few bad games but I don't think they ever lost confidence against anyone! They are turning it up now the playoffs are near, did anyone think they would not? They are defending champs, no easy ones there.
Um...the Lakers have won two les in a row. Whatever you think of that, they likely didn't need to beat the out of the Spurs to have confidence in themselves. They obviously respect the Spurs more than they or their fans have let on this year.
I agree with some of that, but if you beat a team 4-0 in the regular season then have HCA against them in the playoffs, don't you think there would be at least a little doubt in their minds?
Especially since no team has really handled the Lakers the last 3 seasons. Except for the Bobcats
Obviously the Lakers have been struggling with confidence issues if they treated yesterday like a playoff game, but knowing the Spurs, winning four games against the Lakers would have been a recipe for disaster. , the most consistent Spurs team in years couldn't even focus after playing their best game of the season.
True, kinda weird to see that lack of focus, especially from a Pop coached team. I still like the Spurs in 5 if we play them in the WCF
A little optimistic this - Spurs can win but it would be 6 or 7 games - that LAL team is a very good team with a great coach.
Spurs in 5 is always a laughable proposition in any series. We never win the easy way. Unless we play the Nuggets.
