Lakers need to worry about trying to beat Utah or Houston.

Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
If LA had Bynum
I'd take LA
but without Bynum they're definitely done in Six
Gasol can not guard Duncan one on one
and niether can Odom. And that is going to open things up for Parker and Ginobli. But if Bynum was there, the Lakers could completely shut Ginobli and Parker down. Because you could put Kobe on Parker and Odom on Ginobli and Bynum on Duncan with occasional Help from Gasol and it's a wrap. Now Duncan is going to dominate, Spurs in 6

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
If both of us get there:
We dont have Bynum - LA in 7
We do have Bynum - LA in 6
LAL have won every big game we've had this year. We step up our level of play according to our opponent. We swept Denver and its not even near the best we've looked all year. I think SA obviously can beat us but I like our chances with homecourt.

Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
Looks like I predicted correctly.
I forgot the key match up between the two teams: the refs. Who has advantage on the refs?

Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
quick analysis:
This matchup favors the Spurs.
1. Duncan is bigger, stronger, better than Gasol.
2. Kobe will actually have to play real defense against Manu.
3. Kobe will have TWO really good defenders on him: Bowen and Udoka.
4. Tony Parker is a pain in collective Laker butt.
5. Spurs bench has MUCH more experience.
well...at least the Lakers have home court advantage.

The Lakers have a size advantage at every position, some significant (viz. Odom). That's worth mentioning. Their designated shooters (Radman, Vujacic, Fisher) are also shooting better, at a combined 46.7% from 3 on 11.2 3FGA/gm, which is just an absurd percentage (you'd need to shoot 70% on 2's to generate the same ppg in that few shot attempts).

uhm he practically contained Duncan during their last game.

Very good NBA starter
Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
Gasol can not guard Duncan one on one
Pau did a pretty good job the last game they played this year (2nd to last gm of the season)

I like this matchup for LA if the Spurs aren't hitting their 3s. Lakers are a higher scoring team and they will also outrebound the Spurs. Hopefully Ariza is ready to go cos LA will need him on Manu so Kobe stays out of foul trouble..

Kobe 20 FTA/ game. LaKERS win it all

Re: How does the Lakers and Spurs match up?
It'll be interesting to see how Odom does in this series. Hes either too quick/agile or too lengthy/big for whoever is guarding him. Pau's length should help him against Timmy D. The guy I'm most scared of is TP, the Lakers have been shaky on defensive rotation/awareness and I can see TP giving them some problems when getting into the paint.
Both team's benches will be a big part in deciding the outcome. LA needs Farmar to get out of his slump and be that big spark off the bench he was for most of the season.

lol Basically.
I find it another stroke of Laker luck that they'll be getting Ariza back juuuuust when they actually need him.
