Re: Indiancowboy (IC): May 16th - June 18th
The Spurs have their back to the wall once again as they are down 3-1 going into game 5, but something is different about this series than with the Hornets. After all, the Spurs won game 4 against New Orleans and now they have their legs cut underneath them in game 5. This makes all the difference in the world, in other words, the Spurs will now HAVE to win 2 games in Los Angeles. If this game goes in favor as I see no line up for this contest, this game likely goes under, if this game goes in favor of the Lakers, I likely see a blowout and do not see a close game. After all, all the games the Lakers have covered have come comfortably.
Something interesting, if the Spurs do manage to win this game, I do not see them losing game 6 and once again, it is for all the dice in Game 7. But, these are the defending champs, however, the Spurs have yet to win against the Lakers on the road this year. Think about it, one time it was without Duncan, but the depth for the Lakers is striking. Here are the results for the contests this year:
05/27/08 SA 91 - LAL 93
05/25/08 SA 103 - LAL 84
05/23/08 LAL 101 - SA 71
05/21/08 LAL 89 - SA 85
04/13/08 LAL 106 - SA 85
01/23/08 SA 103 - LAL 91
12/13/07 LAL 102 - SA 97
11/13/07 SA 107 - LAL 92
You see a trend here: The Spurs won at home in the first contest between these 2 teams, Lakers won at home, thenm Spurs won at home, then the Lakers won the next 3 games at home, the Spurs won at home, and the last contest in San Antonio: Game 4: Was the first time, a road team struck blood in this contest in the last 8 contests between these 2 teams this year: : I just think the Spurs magic has run out as I would not be surprised if the Spurs start out strong, but the Lakers end up pulling this out in the end. The Lakers have yet to lose to the Spurs at home, the line should be interesting: if it is -7.5 again, I look for the Spurs to cover again, more importantly, I would not be surprised to see an under cash here.
