Game 1 Western Conference - Spurs @ Lakers

Filed Under Lakers, NBA  | Email This Post

Here we go again…the 4th time these 2 teams are facing each other in the playoffs in the last 10 years…Lakers got swept the 1st time, but have beaten the Spurs the last 3 times.

Tip off at 6pm PST at the Staples Center, tonight.

The Spurs’ departure from New Orleans after eliminating the Hornets 91-82 in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals was delayed several hours after their plane had mechanical problems…and seems like they could not find any rooms so they slept in the plane. I hope these old timers don’t complain about not getting enough sleep after they lose tonight.

On another note, Trevor Ariza, who has been out since January 20th, is expected to return during the conference finals, which was reported by the LA Times. This will give LA even more depth.

Have read and listened to a lot of talk about this series…2 things stood out.

People saying the match up between Tim Duncan and Pau Gasol is a wash…WHAT!!! The best Power Forward ever is a wash??? I just don’t understand that. I mean Pau is great and all…been an all-star, but we are talking about Tim Duncan. LA would need to keep an eye on this match up for sure.

Also, another thing was how Bruce Bowen is going to contain Kobe…come on now. I know Bruce gets under people’s skin, but there is not a single player that could contain Kobe Bryant. Mr. 24 could drop 50 in any game he chooses.

I am looking forward to see Lamar Odom play, as I don’t think the Spurs have an answer for him.

I am picking the Lakers (what a surprise)…in 6!

GO LAKERS!
