this shit could easily go either way, if the lakers play up to their potential than lakers 4-0, but they usually don't so i'm going to say lakers in 7

lol i was wonderin why everyone on here kept sayin LA had homecourt. But yah, if homecourt was "huge" when u thought the lakers had it...then its still huge now that the Spurs have it lol.

Droopy, are u a Spurs fan? Just wonderin, cus if youre not...then youre the only non biased opinion in here, and he's pickin the Spurs. I know everyone backs their team, but honestly...Laker fans, this aint to start beef but what have u seen so far that shows u the Lakers would win this series...especially that they would win in anything less then 7 games. Like i said, of course u back your team...but on what youve seen so far, in the last month...cmon. I know anyone can win the series, but to make comments like "Lakers in 6...that seems about right" lol. Only if an upset is "right".

Should be a good series, the winner of this will probably take the title (imo)...but yah, maybe LA can pull the upset...

Home-court does play a huge role...I still think Lakers are taking it. It's just gunna be tougher than it woulda' been...Droopy IS a Spurs fan, so yea, he is biased....I saw the Lakers get 2nd place in the West, with half the team injured for most of the season...That's how I know the Lakers are the best team in the NBA...Spurs have just been on a streak...Lakers were on a streak as well. An 11 game winning streak shortly before the playoffs...I don't think Lakers in 6 would be an upset at all...A sweep, now THAT would be an upset...PeACe

Lakers won the regular season series 3-1 and are also in 2nd in the West....I thought that usually determines who has homecourt advantage?  ???

Nah, that would be unfair if it was by standings.

homecourt is very important in the west
Cause I don't care where I belong no more
What we share or not I will ignore
And I won't waste my time fitting in
Cause I don't think contrast is a sin
No, it's not a sin

honestly, i only made the point of it being important cus Scitt said the opposite for the Lakers. But i really dont see homecourt being HUGE in the west. any of the final 4 teams in the west, can probably win on eachothers homecourts. homecourt was huge in round 1....but round 2 is so close that it might not even matter.

Spurs in 6... ;)

lol the closer the teams are, the more it matters son.
if the teams are really close, homecourt will just be the difference.

If Spurs win the first game, all odds are against the Lakers...Seeing as the Spurs open on their home-court, there's more chances of the Lakers losing than if they were playing at Staples Center...Momentum and confidence has a lot to do with it...You gotta open the series with confidence...PeACe

uhhh...wrong. the teams are evenly matched enough to where they can win on eachothers courts easily. homecourt means nothing right now honestly. im guessing each team will win at least one game on the opponents home floor. Especially in the LA/SA series. Minnesota might be a different case since theyre not used to going deep in the playoffs, they still might be somewhat rattled by Sac's homecourt...but LA/SA have faced eachother SO many times in the playoffs over the last few years, that neither team will be slightly intimidated by the others court.

I am a Lakers fan so I might be biased as always, but even at that, I am not too worried about this series.

For one, no matter how hot the Spurs are, we have two Hall of Famers who did NOT come to L.A. to lose, especially not in the 2nd round. Last year, Horry was cold as hell, Kobe was playin thru bein hurt. We got a better team, and even tho Payton ain't doin like he should, Malone is holdin it down, Shaq is playin better than last year, and Kobe is killin everybody. I think the only way the lakers lose is if they beat themselves, by feudin over bullshit and whatever else. Spurs do have homecourt advantage but who cares, they are gonna be in for a shocker game one.

thas cool, and just like 2 yrs ago when the Lakers beat SA (and SA let up in the 4th quarter of games during the series)...the Spurs only lose if they beat themselves. Talent doesnt win championships, teamwork does. Only Laker fans give a shit that Malone and Payton hooked up with the Lakers. Other teams dont look at them as anything other then opposing players. We beat them last year without too much difficulty, beat them 5 yrs ago with a sweep, and i dont see much different this year. The Lakers arent playing that much better then last year to me...in fact, i think their teamwork is worse this year.

the first game starts this afternoon, this is gonna be a great series. I am anxious to see how the lakers can handle the spurs, It seems like the spurs are actually getting respect (even from Phil Jackson!) and most of the sports personalitys are picking the spurs to win in 6 or 7
