Weird, according to a Spurs fan on lakersground, most of the people in San Antonio are rooting for the lakers:

Hi everybody--thought I would stop in to let you know what is going on in San Antonio with regards to your series against the Mavs.

Local radio hosts have posed question to listeners--now that the Spurs are out of the playoffs--who are local fans pulling for in the playoffs.

Interestingly--when your series against the Mavs come up--local fans are speaking up heavily in favor of the Lakers.

There are many reasons why so many Spurs fans living in San Antonio are rooting for LA over Dallas. But the common thread seems to be just good old fashioned respect. Even though our teams were rivals in years past, there is an underlying amount of respect that the folks here have towards the Lakers. Conversely--they go crazy--nuts--at the sight of Mav owner Mark Cuban and Jason Terry. These two guys have the biggest mouths in the entire NBA. The sports bars are going to be packed with Spurs fans yelling for the Lakers.

Another key fact: many people here still respect Kobe Bryant. They remember how well Kobe Bryant treated Manu Ginobili a few years ago when Manu made the All-Star Team. In addition--we remember how Kobe introduced Tim Duncan this year at the All-Star game as the greatest power forward who ever played the game.

We know that for many Laker fans, the game last night didn't turn out well for LA. Nonetheless--we're still pretty confident that you guys will be sending Mark Cuban back to Dallas with another losing series record.

GO LAKERS!

Strange feeling rooting for the Mavs. I guess it's AbtL...

But i don't want them to win the ring. Griizlies before OKC before Bulls before C's before Heat would be my choice. Of course Memphis ain't doing it, so I hope the Thunder will win it.
