If the series go to game 7, Lakers will win it. no team is better prepared for game 7 than the LAkers
Not the same Spurs as last year. Ginobili, SJackson, and Claxton all new. Parker with another season under his belt. The main problem for SA the last two seasons v LA has been the Spurs' perimeter O. SA can defend LA better than any other team in the L. This is going to be one very interesting series. Spurs in 6.
Hmm. Are you forgetting about Kobe Bryant? Unless Fox made some all-defensive teams that I forgot about.
Did you all see the half time show in the Dallas-Portland game yesterday? Pop and Duncan gave all the respect to the Lakers. And all Phil Jackson said was how the 4-0 regular season sweep didn't count because Shaq was injured. Have you ever heard Phil give any credit to the opponent? I guess this is part of his mind game thingy. But, man, this guy is full of himself. James Worthy, on the other hand, gave a great X's and O's analysis on how the Spurs beat the Lakers (on local LA TV).
Lakers will probably win in 6, but I really really really really hope the spurs will win it. I HATE the fuc**ng LAKERS!!!
If the Spurs can hold home court advantage and win their first two, we will have an interesting series. If the Lakers steal one or both, the pressure will prove to be too much for the Spurs supporting cast and they will probably choke. I predict that the Lakers take one of the first two games and go on to win in 6. Games | Winner 1. Lakers 2. Spurs 3. Lakers 4. Lakers 5. Spurs 6. Lakers
Lakers in 6. Los Angeles runs playoff record v. SA in last three years to 12-3; Spurs apologists will claim that spurs came "that close" to winning title again like they did in last year's 4-1 narrow defeat.
Lakers in 5... as much as I hate these guys... from what I saw in the PHX/Spurs series... i saw a lot of fear and hesitation in the faces of parker, bowen and david robinson... if they can't have confidence playing the suns.. there's no way they can find a way to believe in themselves to beat the lakers.. i'm predicting all the spurs players to choke... but i do think ginobili will have a good series... only way the spurs win is if someone clotheslines kobe...
