Lakers lose to Memphis

[lebomb]

Of course you forgot:

1999 - 4-0 Spurs

I'm not afraid of the Lakers at all!

No , and it took a slippin on a banana peel shot from Fisher to close out the last series..........

[SpursDynasty]

These guys know they fear the Lakers. Why else would every loss be thread worthy? This is therapy for them. They still have nightmares of the being humiliated by the Lakers in the playoffs this decade.

2001 - 4-0 Lakers
2002 - 4-1 Lakers
2003 - 4-2 Spurs
2004 - 4-2 Lakers

The only time the spurs won in this decade was when the lakers were attempting to do something no other team since the 50's Celtic has done, Win 4 straight les. They didn't have the stamina nor the will to continue the streak. You can tell the spurs win was a fluke because the lakers took them out the next season.

The Lakers have not been a real threat to the Spurs since 2002. Sorry, that was 5 years ago.

Say what you want about 2004, the Spurs came back the following year and won the NBA championship. Spurs have won 2 les since the end of the Lakers in 2002.

Michael Jordan was better than Kobe last night...

[LEONARD]

See, everyone was so quick to jump and say "Lakers over the Spurs in the first round" just because the Lakers won a few games and are 38-33. Funny.

Good point Jeff...the Lakers loss yesterday effectively ends their season...

The Lakers won in 2004 and they werent a threat?

Spurs worry about the Lakers like a 3rd seed should worry about a 6 seed. I would like to know from Laker fans why Spurs should worry about the Lakers more than that???

what makes the lakers so dangerous in the playoffs??

[Medvedenko]

If I were the spurs I wouldn't be worried. We have too many injuries and people banged up. I can see us steal a couple of games...but that's it.

No , and it took a slippin on a banana peel shot from Fisher to close out the last series..........

Didnt our very own Tim Duncan get a lucky bank shot by the 3 point line a couple seconds earlier?

If the Lakers are not healthy, you have nothing to worry about. If the lakers are healthy, you have plenty of worries. Phil knows how to beat the spurs and the Spurs can not match up to the Lakers. They will have to adjust and that is something that Pop is not good at. He will probably go small against the lakers and that will not work for the spurs.

Plus the fact that the lakers handled the spurs quite easily this season.

[TheMulvany]

The Lakers suck. The only reason the Spurs haven't dominated them in the playoffs is because they haven't faced them in forever. The Lakers are a first round exit every year now.

[DarrinS]

Oh my God! A crappy team got beat by an even crappier team?
