Spurs-Lakers Hypothetical Question

[Ghazi]

God..here we go again..Laker fan acting like they're crowned already. Haven't won a le in 7 years and we've won 3, yet we don't have a chance, do we? What a complete bag. Truth? The 2007 Mavericks were better than this year's Lakers, and they got on in the first round. Don't buy your Finals tickets yet..you're not there yet.

Mavs had an inferior point differential in a ty West and had an inflated record due to 20-4 in games decided by 5 points or less

For that 50-5 stretch maybe, but for the other 33 games in the season not even close!

I'd rather do option B. There's no way the Lakers are going to get taken out by anyone else in the West, so the Spurs are going to have to go through LA on any path to advance to the Finals. I'd rather see the Spurs a bit fresher than see them in two dogfights while LA has two quick 4/5 game outs with Dallas and Utah/Houston. The Rockets can have the division for all I care. Utah in the first sounds like a much nicer matchup than New Orleans or Portland.

All this Spurs vs Lakers back & forth......heck, for all we know, the WCF finals could be Utah vs Houston....
