I agree. Spurs have done nothing to deserve being dropped, except to WIN!

What Aslan is going to have a tough time wrapping his thick skull around is this...
LA is not even going to have the best record in the West this year..
Only time they come out of the West is when they HAVE the best record..
They are going to end up getting seated with OKC or Spurs and get ouched at the very begining.

LOL nicccce.
Actually regular season does matter Blackcat..
As I previously stated.. I don't remember the Lakers being a 4 seed and coming out and beating the holy **** out of ppl in the West.
What you LA lovers better hope is they turn their losing ways around and win the West, but it doesnt look promising at all right now.

Where did the Spurs go LOL...
They still have the best record in the league, that doesn't make sense to me...
But Heat @ 2, I'll buy it
Ballers Wrote:What Aslan is going to have a tough time wrapping his thick skull around is this...Why do you doubt this Laker team? You've picked against them the last two years and you've talked about how awful they are, yet they are the back to back champions. Lakers coming out with a subpar start reminds me of the Celtics last year. There just bored with the regular season. They've made the finals three straight years and won the last two. They'll do enough to get home court in the first round and actually play when it matters, like the Celtics last year when they crushed Lebrons hopes of a title.

If the Spurs are in it, I promise I won't watch it. I didn't watch the last finals they were in but I know it had to be boring. If the Spurs and Heat are in the finals I'll be rooting for Lebron, thats how bad I hate the frekon Spurs!

I didn't know having the 4th best record in the NBA was considered losing.

The chances of the Spurs staying healthy this whole season is pretty far off IMO
And if getting the #1 overall seed made a difference then the Cavs should have at least made it to the finals last year but they didn't.
The bottom line is to win a championship you have to beat a few elite teams in a best out of 7 series. The regular season shows us a lot about teams and their ability to play, but when it comes to a 7-game series, that is where your coach shines. That's one of the biggest reasons the Lakers are so succesful. Phil Jackson can beat ANY team on the planet in a 7 game series, no matter what seed his team or the other team has beside their name on the bracket.

The kinda ball Manu and Spurs are playing would be a dangerous fit for LA in the playoffs.
What track are they on? They've only lost like 2 of their last 8.
I mean, any NBA team can afford to lose games. Heck, didn't the Spurs lose to the Clippers?
It's the NBA, if any team doesn't come out firing on all cylinders then they're going to lose, it's as simple as that. Playoff time, no matter what seed the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, or Spurs are, if they're firing on all cylinders no other team in their conference will touch them besides when they face one another in the conference finals. Besides it's only late December, no team can carry the momentum they have now into the playoffs thats months away.
