its hilarious that nash gets up like he's gonna beat robs ass

[cash459]

So Bynum is going to magically forget how to block shots, rebound and dunk the ball with his 7'6 wingspan?



Sure the Spurs have CHANCE to take back the #1 seed, but the Lakers have the BETTER CHANCE to hold ontot he 1st seed given their easier schedule down the stretch and the fact they are going to utterly crush SA on April 13th.



The Spurs have proven time and time and time again that they can't repeat.



Pot meet Kettle and all that.

i didnt say he was going to develop basketball amnesia , but playing nba basketball after an injury is one thing, playing PO NBA ball after one is something much bigger to deal with. see amare stoudamire. (your foot meets your mouth)

ok, the spurs havent repeated, yes. When was the last time the Lakers actually DID somethingin the playoffs. even won a championship!? Yeah, thats what i thought....stop living in the past (again, your foot meets your mouth)

the lakers are unproven. til they win something important, quit filling this board with the diarrhea spewing from your mouth.

bottom line, the #1 seed doesnt mean squat...the better team in a series wins PERIOD. which can & will be the spurs. mark this thread and we'll continue this a couple of months

How great would that be if we were tied for 1st place coming into that last regular season game!!!

And people forget the playoffs are a 7 game series. A whole other beast than the regular season. SAS has always been the type of team that can grind you out in the playoffs and eventually exert their will on you.

OOC, how would that work if LA won, thus tying the season series 2-2? What do they go to for non-divisional rivals after that? Conference record?

[The Franchise]

Lakers back in their rightful place atop the toughest conference in NBA history.

Oh yeah, without Bynum. Good luck NBA when he comes back. Good ing luck.

These are the types of fans the Lakers can do without. Take a lesson from Medvedenko and show some class. Your team is winning and that's great, but you don't have to be an ass about it.

i doubt both teams would bring out their main guns for that game if both already secured a playoff spot. lakers more likely, but Pop won't let his boys play by then.

Yeah but someone still has to lose the game, and if it's the spurs we have the situation I discussed.

You're the only one who was talking out of his ass, as I pointed it out on the previous page.

I knew before even opening this thread that it wasn't started by a spurs fan.

[Purple & Gold]

So true, so true. Lakers will blow da up with the return of Bynum. I can't wait. Lakers will win their 15th Championship and cement their Team of the Decade le.

Damn duncan228 must have been hitting the pinot last night

would probably depend on the possible 1st round matchup. april 13 is their last matchup for this regular season. both teams will then face the kings in consecutive days. the spurs will be playing the jazz on the final day of the regular season. its conceivable that both teams will try to decide where they fall on the standings to get the most favorable matchup. so getting either 1 or 2 isn't as important as who will they face.

[DazedAndConfused]

I think whomever makes that #8 seed is going to be a good matchup for the Lakers. We can take the Suns, GSW, and DEN if we play them in the 1st round. The Spurs have more cause for concern because they prob. dont want to face the Mavs or Jazz the 1st round and would rather take on the Bugs or the Rox.

good thing i joined an english/grammar post board & not a spurs/sports post board thanks for reminding me!

[DarrinS]

With this basketball genius out there, no one in the West is safe. Hopefully, my sarcasm is coming through loud and clear.

[FromWayDowntown]

For the moment at least, the teams are actually tied in the loss column. If the Spurs win the game they have in hand, the teams will be tied, but statistically, the Spurs will lead the West because, for the moment (again), they hold the tiebreaker over LA, 2-1.

That's not to say that none of that will change, but this giddiness over being percentage points ahead when two teams have the same number of losses is silly. When one team has more losses, the lead might be significant.

[ClingingMars]

So true, so true. Lakers will blow da up with the return of Bynum. I can't wait. Lakers will win their 15th Championship and cement their Team of the Decade le.
