Lakers v. Spurs

[loseyourname]

I think you're right. Karl's on a mission. Parker will be hard to stop, but he's so inconsistent, it's hard to see him carrying the Spurs for a seven game series. I think he can be exploited defensively, too, if the Lakers take advantage of it. Payton can post him up and have his way with him. If they double, it will probably be with Ginobili, leaving either Devean George or Rick Fox open, so those two will have to hit their shots. Same thing when they double down on Shaq. Nesterovich has no chance on him, so they'll probably come with Ginobili. I doubt they'll double off of Karl after what he did to Houston. Another key is whether or not Karl can disrupt Tim Duncan. He isn't going to stop him, but can he at least bother him? Hold him, foul him hard, and go at him on offense. Make him work, and he'll tire in the fourth quarter. He has a history of not finishing strong in physical games. Just look at what Amare Stoudemire did to him last year.

The Lakers can pull it out, but they have to maintain their focus. They haven't done that all year. Beating the Spurs won't be easy. Whoever takes this series takes home the trophy.

P.S. What I don't understand is the need some people feel to put down anything they don't understand. What's the deal with that?

i'll be there wednesday if i can find a cheap plane ticket...

but lets start with sundays dissapointment. After being called down by SBC center security and being warned in the 2nd quarter that I may get kicked out of the SBC center, I went back up and gave a mouthful to those who complained about me and told them that if they had a problem, i'd happily miss my flight back to LA and spend some time with them in the parking lot if they'd care to meet up.
4th quarter, 4 minutes left, I get kicked out. Cussing out the fans, the security and management, even in Armenian, 2 Lakers fans came to my back and they to started talking trash to the security and the people.

all i know that it was one LONG plane ride home...anyone know where i can get a 200 rt ticket to san antonio?

I'm not a violent person but a situation like that would make me want to kill people.

You flew there without tickets for the game? Where'd you get tickets?

nah, i had tickets, i got them off some san antonio tickets website and picked them up saturday afternoon...

letting out the aggrivation, temper and the violence there was better...imagine if i was like that at the airport boarding a plane...esp when i haven't shaved for 3 days

Sorry you had to sit through that debacle, jilbagh. This team needs to grow a heart and learn how to hustle when the game is on the line. The Spurs got to every single loose ball. The Lakers earned this loss.
