The last team was................bad-dum-TS...The 2001 Spurs! We beat them by 39 in game 3 and 29 in game 4 in the WCF and swept them. They had everyone at full strength. And we humiliated them. In front of the entire planet. That hurt so much, they'll never forget it.

Hopefully we won't have to hear about "Finally back to .500!" and "Season starts tomorrow" anymore. |
If we play .500 ball all season I'll be a satisfied fan. |

So you were satisfied last season?

I don't see how that is accurate, when Duncan is considered doubt for tonight's game.... I will without hesitation bet on the Lakers covering the spread. |

So you were satisfied last season? |
No I was not- That team had no passion or heart. If this team plays like they want to be Lakers and show heart- but still lose- I'm ok with that. |

I hope Duncan plays, I wanna see how our team matches up with the Spurs at full strength.
if we win tonight, then I think the bar is set high for this Lakers team, the Spurs made the Grizzles look like a lottery team, I hope that doesn't happen to us. |
This is true, they (bleep) slapped them hard. |

Spurs are a well oiled machine with or without Duncan. They almost beat Miami last year without Duncan, Ginobili and Parker.

For those who are happy that Duncan isn't playing, look at the stats in the original post from the last Spurs game.

| There's the same chance to win this as with the Clips. Our bigs can beat theirs, esp. with a half or no Duncan. That opens the door for some good guard play and the live and die by the outside shot. If it falls we win. |

| Spurs will be fine without Duncan. The amount of weapons they've assembled is very impressive, with more than a couple good shooters. Even without him, this is a very tough game, and if we aren't hitting our threes, we could be in for a long night. |

Nope. Pau always plays Duncan well.

Strange how people think that. Prior to last season, Pau played Duncan extremely well using his length. A big reason we made the finals Pau's first year was his d on Timmy. Last season with Pau's mobility limited, Duncan killed us, but before that he was a great defender on him. |

| The Lakers, deserve to beat the Spurs without Duncan, just as the Spurs were beating us with a Morris/Duhon backcourt in the playoffs... |

This will be our 3rd game in 4 days. Hopefully the home crowd will give the team a boost of energy tonight.
