Spurs Vs Lakers (Spoilers)
Awesome game, there is always one game on tv in every NBA season that bucks the trend and is extremely entertaining and this was the one.
Unfortunately, the Spurs won because of the refs calling phantom fouls on the Lakers and sending Duncan and ginobili to the line undeservedly. Ginobili's acting and flopping takes so much away from the game, he would be much better to watch and would have more fans if he quit trying to seduce the ref into a call

So much for battle of the D.... 87-95 at the end of the 3rd!

Thanks man,
Looks like its gonna be a tight one, though it should be noted, scores are close, but LA is scoring inside while the spurs are scoring from outside...
I think the team that wins the paint has the better chance of winning this type of match so we'll see what happens...
My kiss of death still on LA (Gasol running hot)

Hey guys- can we get a spoiler put in the title so we can make comments on the game?

I'm putting my kiss of death on LA.
They are a strong team and will 'get up' for this game after a lack-luster effort against a weakened Houston yesterday.
Spurs are still rusty and will be happy just to cruise into the finals no matter what pos they finish in. When it comes to the finals, i just don't think they will fear anyone.
The diff for todays game is the decline of Bowen which means they will have to find a new way to guard Kobe.
(I have a theory where coach Pop is really resting Bowen during the season and he'll be back in the starters for the finals- fresh and ready to annoy hell out of every teams best player.)
I think Parker's ability to finish in the paint over Bynum and Gasol is also huge.

Lakers for me. Lakers match up very well against the Spurs. I think that the wild card for the match is going to be Ariza. This guy is the Lakers' best defender apart from Kobe, and has developed a decent jumpshot. The Spurs must shut him down, that is, after shutting down Kobe, Gasol, Odom and Bynum first.
Lakers by 5-10.
