Magz50 · Post #1 » by **Magz50** » Wed May 21, 2008 5:47 pm

Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals
Wed, 5/21
Staples Center, Los Angeles
9:00 PM ET
On TNT

YOUR reigning NBA Champions - San Antonio Spurs

VS

The Los Angeles Lakers

Let's go Spurs!

I'm predicting we either lose this game cause of the lack of rest from the trip from NO. Or we manage to squeeze out a win by 2-3 points.

:clap:

Over/under on how long into tonight's telecast we get reminded of 0.4?

Anyway, I hope that Plane-gate doesn't cause the Spurs to come out too sluggish. If we fall behind early in LA, it'll be really tough to come back.

3 times...

I don't think it will cause that much of a problem.

Looks like Kobe may have cheated on his wife again:

My gut feeling...

Considering the short turnaround after a tough 7 game series requiring us to win 4 of 5 against a tough Hornets, including just finishing the game 7 on the road and getting stuck in the airport with no sleep till the following day, missing a practice day?

This one will be tough to pull out a win in. If we fall too far behind, look for Pop to concede earlier than you'd expect. He might think getting their legs and energy back for 6 games might be worth pulling early.

However, game 2 I think we will sell out trying to get.

Reason, you don't want to have to go 4 of 5 again against a more experienced and better prepared team this time.

With that said, maybe we come out charged from the last win and surprise them early, get them on their heels and steal game 1. Game 1 is usually the craziest, most unexpected game of the series. That's the time to get a steal of a win. After game 1, most of the adjustments are made and wins come harder to get.

I'm pulling for a surprise win, baby!

Nice game thread Magz50, Rasho those two picks brought back my feelings of that night man is was pissed to the max.

But it's all good I know where you were going with that.

Well fellas we've jabbed back and forth for a couple of days now just wanted to say from my end that it's been fun. And for the most part it wasn't any personal attacks most of you guys are some nice dudes to talk ball with.

Time to battle fellas.

Not trying to get on you, but I just don't get that what you just said.

Do you mean people at Spurstalk or just on RealGM? I would guess the latter.

Not trying to lump all you guys together same as you wouldn't llump all Laker fans together I would think.

Basically as with any forum you'll have some who are just way off base and some who are knowledgeable. Believe me I would mention the names of those who I though was straight up whack.

That's why I don't quote everybody only guys I know I can have a straight up b-ball convo with.
