Lakers in 7.
Media and refs want them to move on.
The greatest season in the history of the NBA and Spurs get to finals...again?
I doubt it.
If the Spurs meet the Lakers in the playoffs, who do you think will win ?
In how many games will they win?
Why will they win ?

I doubt it.
Spurs in 6
Gasol is soft, duncan owns him.
Let Kurt Thomas work on the wonder kid.
The reffing will reach 2002s robbery of Lakers over Kings Gm 6 level.
Thus I'm hoping the Spurs don't have to face the Collusionists w Zebras in hand.
Spurs win in 6. The refs try their hardest to give it to the lakers but as talented as the lakers are the Spurs are too good right now to lose 4 in 7 to them. Gasol won't be able to provide the defense needed in clutch time and Bynum will make inexperienced young player mistakes down the stretch.
The two games the Lakers win will be the ones where Kobe goes beserk for 30+
Because there is still a chance we avoid the Lakers, Suns, Mavs all the way until the WCF and anything can happen.
If it were all about ratings, Amare would not have gotten suspended last year...but I am just too cynical.![]()
Let's redo this thread after Bynum gets back and integrated with the Lakers.
if Duncan, Manu and Parker all play at their highest level. Lakers don't have a chance.
I just don't get how you can even make a statement like this. We haven't even played a game yet with the new rosters.
The point of this thread is to make a prediction and that is my prediction. If Parker struggles, or duncan struggles, Lakers have a damn good chance.
But if they don't. they will keep our offense going and our defense would just be too much for Lakers. we have plenty bodies to throw at Gasol and Kobe.
what defensive stoppers do Lakers have besides Kobe and maybe Bynum??
none
Lakers in 5 or 6. Of course, I am a little biased in my opinion.![]()
Its a good thing your opinions are wrong then....![]()

7 games and I'll put the Lakers for the win.
It will all depend on health though.
If the Lakers make it to the WCF and play the Spurs and the spurs win, than there is no shame in that and that would still be a successful season for the Lakeshow.
how can an opinion be wrong per say.......
The Spur's OFFENSE is the least of our worries. They struggle to even put 90 pts on the board these days.
If Bynum integrates well with the Lakers then the Spurs don't have a chance IMHO. The athleticism, length, and quickness of our starting 5 will be too much for the Spurs to counter. This team will have a more balanced offense than the '00 3-peat Lakers. You can't double team Kobe, Gasol, or Bynum without someone being wide open. And if you think man coverage on Kobe, Gasol, and Bynum is going to work you're fooling yourselves. This is all speculation of course, but Bynum anchoring our defense and being such a monstrous presence in the paint opens up so many options for us on offense it will be very tough to stop.
won't happen since lakers won't make it out of first round... again.
You should have just said OFFENSE and DEFENSE is the least of your worry. I mean, it is impossible for Duncan to guard Bynum or Gasol, and it's impossible for Thomas to guard either. As well, it's impossible for Horry or Oberto to guard either. I mean, the spurs are in a world of hurt. I guess that's good enough for me. /thread
Spurs in 6 those laker didn't learn anything
4-0 Spurs. It's a clean sweep es!
You want a prediction and one gives one and you say "why watch"?
Wouldn't the same hold true if someone picks the Spurs.
Talk about not liking what you ask for....
What will be extremely nice about a series like this one is to listen to the 'experts' like Stephen A Smith, Greg Anthony, etc spewing bull before the first game, and once the series is over and the Spurs win, start ing how Gasol is soft, Bynum is inexperienced and Kobe needs more help. I'm already rejoicing...
The same way if someones opinion was that the world was flat...
Or that the sun revolves around the earth...
Or that the lakers will beat the Spurs...
simple, really.![]()
I think most smart experts are giving the Spurs the benefit of the doubt right now. They get a lot more slack than any other team in the NBA.
