..it's obvious that Coach "Popovich" wanted to face the Lakers... bad

[Ratzz]

look how EASY this is..!! *the Spurs are NOT EVEN breaking a sweat...!!!
WHO WOULDN'T WANT THE LAKERS??

WOULD YOU RATHER FACE THE ROCKETS?? (who almost beat OKC IN OKLAHOMA Game 2)

or the sorry ass, 1000 yr; old Lakers?

April 14th SAS @ Lakers:

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400278921

Parker 29 minutes... no Ginobili (claimed injured)
Tony Parker was clearly throwing the game.. 1-10 shooting.
guy was barely running, jogging actually.

April 24th SAS @ Lakers: GAME 2

http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?gameId=400278921

SAS did not want to go 7 Games with HOUSTON...

far better to go 4-5 with Lakers
EVEN if they had home court vs. OKC

Thunder in a 6 gamer with Rockets
hard fought. Why face Rockets when you can face the Lakers?

[Ratzz]

it cracks me up.. that Lakers fans watched that game and did not understand it at all...

they ACTUALLY THOUGHT: "SEE!?!? *I KNEW IT... we can handle the Spurs in a series"

are u saying pop gave lakers nation hope
only to smash it with a hammer?

lol... that's very funny....

not that he was tricking them... but if the Spurs beat LA on the 14 of April...

then SAS is stuck playing a Rockets team that is MUCH faster and high-powered than the Lakers..

i know LA beat them in finale... but in a series the Rockets are a much tougher opponent..
far younger, far quicker...

You're saying they threw a game, the way the Chinese badminton team throws games so they can get an easier run to the final.

i actaully thought the lakers had a real chance to beat the spurs
but that was based on parker + ginobili's health, but looks like they are fine
another thing was the strategy of feeding dwight and gasol all day long, doesnt look like the case either

bad coaching + improved spurs health + injured lakers roster = likely quick exit for lakers

the injuries are because they are too old.. 82 games vs. 20- somethings.. then playoffs!??!

no way. i said it from the git-go*
