Fuck yeah! A Lakers' fan was the first response in this thread! That must hurt just a bit for you guys!
I do like our chances agains the Spurs. Gerald Wallace will feast on whoever guards him (as in he can drive by McDyess or Splitter) and Aldridge will feast on whoever guards him. We have the defenders to bother Parker and Ginobli (Batum and Matthews) and Batum has done fairly well on Parker in the past. I do like our chances, hopefully at least one of Rudy or Roy can bring some good production tomorrow. We will need at least 1-2 other people to step up assuming Wallace and Aldridge can do well tomorrow.
Why should it matter? I know Laker fans like to feel more important than the rest of the world, but to be honest, you're irrelevant.
Man thats kinda crazy... I still remember when the Blazers hadnt even held a 1 point lead against the Spurs for like 2 years or something.... That is until our very own PUNISHER broke the curse and led us to victory!
I really like darkwebs' game threads - he should be the designated game thread maker! I think we win tonight. I think both LMA and Crash have good games tonight. I can't remember who called it but someone said last week that the Spurs are about to blow up (and not in a good way) and they're showing obvious signs of doing that. At the time of that bold prediction, they were playing .806 ball but now they've dropped to .803. They're clearly in trouble.
