Even with the strong run at the beginning of the season, you have to admit this: if both teams meet in the playoffs, and both teams bring their "A" game, the Lakers are clear-cut favorites.
I don't care if the Spurs win 72 and the Lakers struggle to 50. The Lakers are constructed to dominate the playoffs. With Bonner seeing major minutes and Udoka likely to be involved in any playoff run, the Spurs will once again be devoid of the offensive punch to compete with LA.
Just my opinion. Unless the Spurs can make a trade for a stronger defensive presence inside than McDyess, and a stronger wing defender than Udoka/Hill, they will struggle to get stops when it counts.
I'm loving this run though.
