Payback time - Spurs 4 -2 LA Lakers

[TampaDude]

Yeah, Spurs fans are full of it. What they also like to do is blame Javie and other referees when they lose.

FAIL. See my other post on this topic. Google "Joe Crawford Tim Duncan".

One word you know what I meant

Funny thing is how they always want to find out who is going to be the referee of the night...

Poor losers always blaming it on the refs.

I read last night a LA Laker fan, who stated: "I wouldn't be shocked if Spurs beat the Lakers." (ESPN group of "experts" think the Lakers will beat the Spurs.)

Say What???

This statement is a little upsetting - it underminds my team:

1. In the past 4 years the Spurs won 2 les, LA Lakers barely made the Playoffs (WITH a COMPLETELY different roster) and LOST MISERABLY there from the Suns (one year LA even didn't make it to the Playoffs!)...

2. Current LA Laker team doesn't have enough experience in the Playoffs together and I don't see them winning a game in SA (Spurs are NOT Utah Jazz, SORRY!) - only Kobe, Fish and somewhat Odom have a Playoff experience - so, if it gets to Game 7 (which I hardly believe because the Spurs will win 1 game in LA!), all those LA folks with NO experience will start throwing "watermelons" towards the basket and be 'really confused with the ball' - the same way the NO Hornets were 2 days ago - rewind the tape to see...Spurs deliver when it counts!

3. LA Lakers don't have a point guard like C Paul to compete with Tony Parker, so Tony will be the difference in the series - I don't see who is going to stop/guard Tony in the paint, and how LA will get even points in a fast break to respond to Tony's drives(???!) - with that regard it is fair to say LA doesn't even have a true PG (forget about the Fish) to compete, and you don't win a le without a PG!

4. In addition, LA lakers don't have a player like Chandler to defend Timmy 'one on one' - Gasol is mostly a scorer and a passer under the basket, but NOT a defender - in addition, the Spurs WILL put Thomas and/or Horry on Gasol, and Thomas and/or Horry will close the paint on him (even Timmy will be there too!) - game over right there for Gasol...Kobe and probably Odom will get their points, no problem, but this will be it...Contrary to ESPN "experts", if this is a high scoring series, the Spurs WILL WIN it...BTW, Nobody is giving the Spurs a chance this time around (same way after NO Hornets took a 2-0 lead), even SI.com:

so this automatically makes the Spurs the favorites to win it in my eyes! I LOVE NEGATIVITY towards the Spurs from the Press - We respond VERY WELL to rubbish!!!

5. This year is special for the Spurs - it started with the 3-pt shots of Finley and Timmy Duncan against the Suns in game 1, going into a double OT and winning the series 4-1! How many teams would've beaten the Suns 4-1 this year??? THINK! Probably NONE! So, I believe the Spurs are poised to repeat with that said...

6. It is fair to say the opposite, we would be shocked if the Spurs lose from LA Lakers this time around (especially after LA will play without Bynum)...

CONCLUSION: Get back to reality - Spurs 4 - 2 LA Lakers (Tony Parker will be the Player of the series!)

GOOD LUCK TO BOTH TEAMS!

GO SPURS!!! GO MANU!!! GO TONY!!!

My thoughts,

1. Kobe Bryant will make Bruce work hard and will not be held down by an old 37 year old man. Bruce will be so worn out trying to keep up with Bryant that by the 3rd and 4th periods his 3 point shots will be short. Leaving him, irrelevant.

2. Pau and Tim will cancel themselves out. Of course Tim will get his but it wont matter.

3. The spurs have absolutely no one to guard Lamar Odom, he will have his way with anyone the Spurs try to put on him.

4. Phil Jackson OWNS Pop!

5. LAKERS OWN Spurs in the playoffs!

6. Tony Parker, He's ok, he's always in LA. Undercover lover of LA. Fisher will do well vs. TP and with Lamar and Gasol they will be able to stop the layups.

7. The Spurs are an average offensive team and a good defensive team. If they play anywhere near the level that they played the Hornets, they might not win a game. La's shooters will have a field day!

8. Odom will destroy POP's attempt at Hack a Odom by making the clutch shots.

9. The Lakers bench > Spurs old timers

10. Rad, Sasha, Fisher will have plenty of open looks and will drill the 3's.
