Spurs, don't care in how many, but if I had to pick a number I'd say 6. ------------------ "He fouled me every single time I was over the rim ... I'm going to lift weights tomorrow and get my legs stronger so next time I play him I'll put it on his head five times." - Steve Franchise
As atrociously as the Kings have played in LA they were still in both games. SA would have dismantled the Lakers in those 2 games. ------------------ NBA Draft Lottery is May 20th. Start praying now. [This message has been edited by Dr of Dunk (edited May 10, 2001).]
I think that total domination theory comes from when that elite center wearing #34 and his team got completely dismantled by the Spurs a few years ago in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Remember that sweep? The Lakers are better granted, but so are the Spurs. And Time Duncan obviously makes is team better, he has a NBA championship. The Spurs can win in LA, that isn't a problem. Shaq may be ready, but don't you think that Duncan will be to? And Duncan is on fire. And he has some help up front, Robinson and Duncan will contain Shaq. Sacramento almost beat the Lakers in LA twice, and Portland almost won game one in the first round, the Spurs are far better then both of those teams. Spurs will take that series. ------------------ See the three, be the three. [This message has been edited by RocksMillenium (edited May 10, 2001).]
Lakers in 6, even if Anderson was healthy, I'd take the Lakers. The Lakers are in a no win situation now, if they win the series it's because that awesome 38% (against lakers this season) shooting guard is hurt, but if the lakers lose, then it just shows how amazing Tim Duncan is. This team isn't the same team that lost to the Spurs a couple seasons ago, so thinking that the Spurs will dominate Shaq and the Lakers is hilarious, especially since the season series is tied at 2 and the Lakers are the defending champions. Yes, we all know Tim Duncan is Bill Russell and the Lakers wouldn't have won anything if he wasn't injured last season. Now we know that Derek Anderson is the second coming of Jordan, and if the Lakers win, it's ONLY because Anderson's out. ------------------ All work and no play makes Band Geek Mobster a dull boy.

I will go with Achebe. I think the Spurs will win in 6. Although Kobe will go off, I just dont see an answer for Duncan. Points wont come so easy for Shaq vs. David and Tim. ------------------ "I may be mistaken, but I'm never wrong" -Barkley
Where's all this Laker hate coming from? Yeah, NBC and the league kisses *** to them, but do u really wanna see the Spurs win another title so that they can talk ****. I'd rather have the Lakers win it so I don't have to see any Spurs fans. No Laker fans where I live. ------------------
Rockets will be the only team in Texas with 2 rings back to back baby...Spurs will just have to wait until Kobe and Shaq retire. GO LAKERS!!! ------------------
I prefer the Spurs to the Lakers Though I am a Shaq Fan but kobe with another ring . . .well If that happens he'd look like NBA JAM forreal . .. a Bigg *ss head coming up the court. Rocket River ------------------
Lakers in 7. O'Neal and Duncan cancel each other out, but Bryant will absolutely destroy anyone who guards him(check his season stats against the Spurs). The Spurs bench will keep them in the series, as it is much better than the Lakers bench, but in the end the Lakers will win the series. ------------------ Founder and President of the Houston Homers Club(HHC) - Are you a homer?

But who's going to shut down David Robinson who is playing solid basketball. And Duncan and Shaq may cancel each other out, but Robinson and Duncan cancel Shaq out. That's the problem the Lakers have. ------------------ See the three, be the three.
Robinson and Duncan do not cancel out Shaq. O'Neal and Duncan put up similar numbers this year versus the other team. And while Robinson is better than Grant, I still don't think that makes up for the huge Laker advantage in the backcourt. ------------------ Founder and President of the Houston Homers Club(HHC) - Are you a homer?

Folks, Shaquille is JUST as dominant as 93-95 Hakeem, at least offensively. He's going to expose David Robinson just like Hakeem did and that's going to be the difference in this series. And yes, I'd like to see the Lakers win too. What a gross injustice it would be to have David "Fake Back Injury" Robinson have as many titles as the Dream!...Well, I guess it'd be more like 2 rings for Dream to 1 1/2 for David, but still!... Say what you want about Shaq pushing off and camping out in the lane, but at least he's a MAN unlike that soft girl Robinson. Shaq deserves another ring, Robinson doesn't. ------------------ Get Cato out of there...
The Spurs are going to end up crying and whining about Shaq to the refs---that he's lowering his shoulder, that that wasn't a foul, Kobe is traveling...blah blah blah ...just like they are about DA and Rose... ------------------
gettinbranded- Yeah, the Rocks only have 2 titles - FOR NOW! And the Bulls will always have their 6,... and nothing more! ------------------
What do you think will happen first...Rockets win 3rd title or Bulls win 7th title? Ask any non-biased fan...Rockets have a helluva better chance. ------------------
Spurs in 3. Actually, I think Shaq has owned Robinson over the years. ------------------ "norm, would you like to buy an indian scalp ? This deal isn't gonna make or break me Norm, so don't jerk me around." Harry Carey "Norm, if I had a mohawk scalp, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to you."
