I think this will be a tough series for the Lakers. I'd be very grateful if the Lakers can finish them in SIX. And Mamba better takes care of that injured finger... you don't want Bruce "Lee" Bowen doing something dirty to gain the upper hand.
With that said,
Go Lakers! Make sure to get game 1 and 2!
Totally Agree
Kobe's gonna have his hands full with Bowen and Udoka guarding him on defense and Kobe having to guard Ginobili on defense.

Lakers in 6, maybe even 5:
-Lakers have the MVP, and he has had great amount of time for his back to fully recover, which means more speed and lift. Kobe can taste it, and his passionand desire to win is phenomenal. Let alone his numbers in the playoffs (33-7-7), Bowen won't be able to guard him like he could 5 seasons ago.
-Gasol and Odom, play so well together. When Gasol is posting, Odom has more speed than Duncan, Oberto, and Thomas, he will be able to cut to the baskets forthose dunks.
-Derek Fisher's strength and ability to deflect the ball in the passing lanes will pest Tony Parker in this series, and let's not forget what he cando with 0.4 left on the clock. He is a clutch shooter.
-Not only do the Spurs have great shooters, but so does LA. Vujacic, Fisher, Radmanovich, and Walton.
-The only person I see being a major factor for the Spurs is Manu, Kobe will guard Manu Ginobili in this series, and with Kobe on the NBA 1st Defensive team,I don't see Manu going off like he did against the Hornets. (Someone also mentioned earlier that Ariza will be back for game 1) This only helps theLakers defensively.
-Laker's aren't the Hornets. Laker's are also very well coached. Phil Jackson's triangle has done wonders for Gasol and Odom. The Lakersaren't a young team like the Hornets, they have the experience and leadership from Bryant and Fisher, and Gasol,Odom, and Walton have been in theplayoff's before.
-Last and most important thing is the Laker's can also win on the Road. Expect to see Kobe to do some closing in S.A.

Lakers in 6 but maybe in 5, if we can somehow win the second game in S.A. LO is always our X-factor. I hope LO will post up more often espcially againstManu or Finley. So far, he's been playing great. Our bench, especially Farmar, needs to step up otherwise TP will average 30+.

Based on your predictions from the last series we had no chance of being here, correct?...
I didn't predict anything and I didn't say the Spurs had no chance.
Furthermore, you have no business telling anyone what they should and shouldn't do.
If your goal is to gloat about the Spurs winning game 7, by all means, have fun.

Man I took the time and went through each page of this thread, there is so much hate for my beloved Spur's. The Lakers/Spurs series is going to be epic. Ihope this goes all the way to 7. Kobe, Gasol, Lamar, and Fisher will give the spurs fits. In the end I gotta go with my Spurs in 6.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- yall acting like tim is a beast or suin, dood himself is kinda soft, but thatsalways been his game..... can someone please let me know what he's trying to say? anyways, spur's in six. i just think we match up better with thelaker's. What I mean is....Tim has never been a super dominant in the paint like say a shaq or amare.....the points come to Tim through the offense and hisbasketball IQ..... He get alot of his points outside of the paint actually...shooting jumpers (bank shots) Im not saying Tim isnt a great player, hes probablyone of the best post-jordan era.... but imagine tim on a tim with no other stars...................... you cant. Tim ALWAYS had his supporting cast his entirecareer to lean on if he was having an off night. Son just aint the factor he used to be.... Tim is the leader of the team, but its pretty much Ginobili andParker who win spurs games....tims role has become more of a contributer rather than driving force.

Gasoft will spend the entire series in foul trouble as well as derek fisher and Odom will be picking up offensive fouls left to right against the spurs, sothose three will pretty much be non factors. Duncan and Parker will be the best players in this series, with Manu a close third, Nobody else will come evenclose. Point is, the Lakers are too dumb of a team, don't have many 1 on 1 creators and no type of D whatsoever to contain the spurs in a 7 game series. Ifthe Lakers only hope on defense in this series is trevor friggin ariza than they're already finished. Seriously, Trevor Ariza?
I predict this being a quick series, over in 4-5 in the favor of the spurs but thats another subject when that day comes, i'll just get to my game 1predictions. Spurs 109 Lakers 81. Manu and Parker with 34 a piece, Duncan with 24 boards..
