9-2 over last 11 and 17-6 since 01/25/13.

Turning it around. Should SA be scared?

Umm. No. SA beat OKC without one if its stars. Handily.

Their record isn't indicative of how good they CAN be. I have a sneaking suspicion Nash is going to explode in the playoffs and Gasol will be back and fully healthy as well.

Nope. LA was only a bad matchup for San Antonio because they had Phil Jackson as their head coach. Phil had Pop's number in the playoffs. I have a hard time seeing Poppovich having the same kind of problems against D'Antoni.

Same here. He's figuring out how to fit into the game and still make everybody better. Once he gets fully comfortable, the Lakers will improve even more.

You're thinking of the 2010 grizzlies. The lakers are old and slow.

Until they upset a #1 seed, this conversation will be full of lulz.

They'll get one series under their belt when they beat the Clipper in the first round and then dominate after that. No doubt in my mind.

Okay OP, slow it down.

They needed Kobe to go all GOAT against the Hornets and Raptors to avoid being embarrassed.

They needed Chicago to beat Utah, on a last second 3. Then, they beat Chicago with the Bulls missing 4 players.

Now they are beating Orlando.

Sure they are playing well, but they're not even in the league of the 2010 Grizzlies.

Same with the 6ers. Record doesn't show how good they can be

Durant had possibly his worst game of the season and the Thunder were on the road playing their 4th game in 5 nights.

SA wants no part of OKC in a 7 game series.

They should win the series. But I'm sure they would rather Utah get the 8th seed instead of the Lakers.
