Probably for the same reason people in LA put "The" in front of every road. "The 101".
Local tradition.
Why do people in Texas put IH10? While the rest of the country just uses I-10.

Are you kidding me? I desperately want to play the Lakers. We would crush them and everyone would be watching and witnessing our greatness. We couldn't possibly lose that series, it would be more entertaining then playing the Utah Jazz again, and it would give me such joy and satisfaction crushing them. I'm rooting for the Lakers and us in the first round. It'll get our blood running for a deep run.
No, I would welcome that matchup. I'm glad the Spurs aren't afraid like some of their fans can sometimes be.
i want the spurs to face the lakers in the playoffs. nothing better short of a championship than watching the spurs eliminate the lakers' 100 million dollar team.
This is the Republic of Texians, not "rest of the country"
The Lakers are not better than the Rockets, with an unstoppable-out-of-nowhere Harden. But it's easier to beat Rockets 5 on 5 than Lakers 5 on 8.
I don't give a who we got. We still gonna do our best.
I'd rather Kobe miss the playoffs yet again. Then, I'd like to see Dwight walk in FA and leave them high and dry.
Rather avoid Lakers. They have played us tough at less than full strength. They have a lot of talent that could pull together by the end of the season. Plus I'd like to see them in the lottery without a pick bc it was traded.
Yea, I'd like to avoid them. If they enter it it will most likely mean they are hot.
Personally I prefer the Lakers to miss the playoffs just because it would be hysterical. But tbh, if they do make the playoffs, I PREFER them in the first round. I'm sick of worrying about brackets and dodging matchups/teams. Look, if we're going to be champs, we're going to have to knock of some good teams. If we can't beat the scrub Lakers, we don't deserve a chip. I want them round 1 because very few things make me happier than seeing my hometown purple and piss get humiliated by my Spurs. I want to play the Lakers, Grizzlies, and OKC. Revenge. Parker will have a field day against tosb nash and if gasol is back he's going to be weak as . We all saw Duncan after his plantar fascia injury.
Nah I want to face them and beat that 100m dollar failure.
At lakersground, they do prefer the 8th seed because they're confident they can beat the Spurs... and then Memphis or Denver... and then OKC or the Clippers... and then maybe the Heat.

While I'm confident that the Spurs would beat LA in a series, I'd rather avoid them, tbh..I would much rather play Utah..
Also, as others have said, LA missing the playoffs would be legendary..Kobe missing the playoffs twice as the number 1 guy on his team, all the offseason hype, their lottery pick going to Phoenix, etc..the storylines are endless..
I want them to get 8th seed, in the beginning I thought it was pretty hilarious that they were tanking after all the hype but now I'm rooting for them to get 8th seed just so we can blow them the out.
A first round series against LA would be scary for anyone but it would also be nice for the Duncan's Spurs to have another playoff win over Kobe's Lakers.
I'd rather face the Lakers than James Harden again
I want nothing more than to face the Lakers in the playoffs. We would sweep their asses and bring an official end to the Kobe era, leaving with it the taste of Spurs superiority.
And for those of you saying yes, that's exactly the kind of Laker fans want you to say. They take pride in your fear. Well that. The Spurs will knock them the out. Bring it.
Much as I would love to beat the Lakers, I'd rather avoid them. Spurs would already be at a disadvantage playing against the big market darlings. Add in the Pop's middle finger to the league in the Miami game earlier this year, and I wouldn't expect the Spurs to get many 50/50 calls against the Lakers.
yes I would prefer to avoid them tbh
