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... ;)

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

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

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
