But, I am admittedly terrified of this first round with the Lakers.
The Spurs are so isanely injured with Ginobili and Diaw completely gone... and Parker at maybe 50% if we are lucky.
If healthy, the Spurs would win in 5 games. But, they are very vunerable right now.
I dont think the Lakers can still win (maybe), but they will wear down Timmy so much that the Spurs season wont be a long one.
I was hoping Timmy would get a relatively easy first round series with the midgets from Houston or Golden State. Nope, he has to bang with the Twin Towers.
The Spurs only chance for 5 titles is a fresh Duncan. This series insures it will not happen.
It should make for an interesting series. If Parker and Ginobili are healthy at all, the Spurs win, even if Nash is back. If they aren't, then I think the Lakers win because of their advantage in the paint.
