Best record in the west in LA, tonight. Is there anybody that actually expects the Lakers to step up? I think they can, but I really don't expect them to. And that's not a cop out we all know how they've been doing against the better teams. Spurs coming off of a rare loss in Portland 2 nights ago. They are gonna be ready to play.
Should be fun.
I wouldn't expect the Lakers to come strong if it were the first meeting but I have a feeling they don't want let the Spurs beat them twice. Artest may actually try in this game as he and Manu have gotten chippy often. Both teams have so many strengths that you really can't pinpoint on key area.
1. Artest defense on Manu
2. Parker vs LA PGs
3. LA bench vs Spurs bench
4. Kobe
5. Timmy

and the other is boring. I'm always conflicted when they play each other in the playoffs. But, not this year - Go Spurs!
