Spurs in 5, if Parker is healthy.
Lakers v. Spurs
Discuss sons.
Spurs in 5, if Parker is healthy.
Series would get good TV ratings. Probably one of the best first round ratings in playoff history tbh.
Not that the series would be compe ive though tbh.
Technically speaking, if they started today, it would actually be Utah vs Spurs...
Spurs in 6
Spurs fans are kidding themselves if they are happy about facing the Lakers in the 1st. Just goes to show you the lack of basketball knowledge on this board. I'm not saying the Lakers would win, but it would be a series. And for an old team, the last thing you want is anything past a 5 game series in the 1st round. Sperms last season they are relevant tbh. Then they fade into Cleveland Cavaliers level soon when Duncan retires.
Hard to say. It depends on which Kobe shows up, and which Pop shows up. (i.e. the Bonner/Blair Pop or the Tiago/Diaw Pop)
There's still basketball left to play. Don't shoot your load just yet.
right back at cha
Spurs in 6, as Baron Davis said..maybe even 5..
Lakers don't have an advantage in the paint anymore, unlike past Laker teams that have owned the Spurs, tbh..
Lakers best matchups are the Grizzlies and Clippers, tbh..Grizzlies cannot take advantage of LA's poor defense, and the Clippers would have a ton of pressure in a series vs. the Lakers..
tbh, the only obstacle would be if any of the Spurs' big 3 gets injured between now and then... otherwise I doubt it's even compe ive, tbh
Wouldn't be happy about it. But no longer fearful. Biggest fear has more to do with the Spurs penchant for choking (namely Parker, in addition to the role players) than anything the Lakers could impose on the Spurs.
I know many celebratory burritos are being eaten right now to honor the latest Lakers' "big win," and Lakers fans are seeing their hopes rise just as they did when the US border came first came into view, but the Bulls have been playing terrible basketball since Feb 1st and have more trouble scoring 100 points than your average Lakers fan has speaking English.
Agreed...there will be nostalgia from the hype...but it will be anti-climatic. Lakers take one in LA and that is all.
Only pussies & assholes play the injury card.
Bend over, Bene, I'll show ya some in' anti-climatic!
The "Lakers are scary" schtick is probably high up there with the "Spurs are the only team that can upset Miami" schtick... overdone and anybody watching the games knows its complete baloney...
Hack-a-Howard in the pocket renders us moot.
jester is going to owe me $500 if Gasol is healthy come playoff time
Howard is rounding into form. Damn near dropped 20/20 on Noah today - who is a better defender than Duncan is right now. Keep believing that if you want. Also, Kobe is a beast on that block too. I can see him killing anybody the Spurs throw at them. The paint is ours period.
What was the conditions of that bet?
If I'm Dwight, I'll start practicing freebies right now, tbh...
What you call choking, I call good Laker defense.
And speaking of defense, we played it today. Bulls shot 37.1% today. Lakers outrebounded them and outswatted them 9-4. They also locked into Luol Deng (All-star) as he shot a putrid 31.3%. Boozer shot 25%.
Again, what you call choking, I call good Laker defense.
^This....if Dwight rounds into form and gets over his mental anxieties about his next contract...it's over for the West....these guys just need to make it to the play-offs...like Kobe said once we're there we don't give a who's in front of us..we're taking them down.
Lakers-Spurs straight up in a playoff series. No other qualifiers. If they never meet, bet is off
That's fine. It will put us in the bonus early. Nash can hit his FTs. So can Kobe. You guys saw how then ran PNR on Chicago to end the game on like 5 out 6 made FGs. They'll do the same to you guys because Chicago is a better defensive team.
