Although a Spurs Lakers WCF seemed likely most the regular season, both were far making it to the WCF. So in order them to play in the WCF they would have to be really playing great ball once the playoffs started. If they play in the WCF and are playing great ball it's a tossup. Instead, both teams turned it down a notch or two once the regular season wore down and headed for the fishing grounds.

If you want to pair them in the 1st or 2nd round with both playing as they were playing, it is probably still a tossup. However, whichever team lost that matchup would be forever killing themselves for losing to team that played nearly as poorly.

Best for fans of both teams this matchup never occurred.
