Sunday, 4/13/08 (12:30 MST) San Antonio Spurs @ LA Lakers

This game is going to be huge. I'm really hoping the Lakers win this game, and since if that happens it might come down to the final game of the season for us to get atleast the 3rd seed.

Wow. We don't even have our game thread for the Nuggets game which is tomorrow and we have a game thread for the Spurs and the Lakers which is in two days. Funny.

Yah... this is getting really really annoying. There is actually a thread called following the West. It might be a good idea to use it.

Go Spurs!!!

If they win this they pretty much eliminate the Lakers at having any chance of the #1 seed in the playoffs.

Go Spurs!!!

The Spurs want HCA in the second round no doubt, they will come in and take this game very seriously, and when the Spurs are playing their hardest I still think they are the only team to beat in the West.

THIS IS TERRIBLE. We need the Oklahoma Hornets to lock it.

Manu is a no go for Sunday. Kobe will demolish the offensively decrepit Spurs.

I am expecting Tony Parker to take over... but then... *crickets crickets* Who else can score off like crazy? Tim Duncan and then no one else.

Freaking Spurs.

This is a team that's avg'd 85.2 ppg in their last 5. They have fits scoring, they play good defence but Finley is no Ginoboli. Tomorrow's game WILL be a blowout.

You expect to win but have 16 point 4th quarters? Their assist-turnover ratio hasn't been spectacular either, 1.37 compared to LA's 2.08.

Lakers win this FOR SURE. If they don't well... I will change my avy to Dikembe Mutombo.

Nah.. Spurs won't get blown out. They aren't facing the Jazz.

I am gonna have positive thoughts and hope that SAS wins, and gonna be yelling to the TV in French.

LOL. Good luck. I just realized Ginoboli was their scoring leader.

I know.. Ginobli is the SAS MVP.

Why doesn't Barry come in soon.

With New Orleans losing, the winner of this game will probably be our 2nd round opponent

I checked on the standings, and you are almost right. Let's pray that Spurs can beat the Lakers.

This one has to be all Spurs tomorrow. Go Duncan and Parker. I want to see Parker just destroy the Lakers no perimeter D.

If the Jazz win their remaining games and Lakers win today the Jazz will take the 3rd spot and Have homecourt advantage in the first round and then have the Hornets in 2nd round avoiding the Lakers or Spurs in the second round.

This has been the most boring game I have seen in a while. There is almost no excitement, both teams are settling for jump shots and no one is taking control of the game.

Agreed. I'd rather watch the Jazz anyday
