I think we would have given the Lakers fits; they had a hard time guarding the pick and roll that year, which we ran to perfection.

Beating them would have been a tall task, but it was certainly possible. I think it absolutely would have gone 7. Every Lakers fan I knew was rooting for the Spurs against us, so that says a lot.

The Celtics? Less likely. If I recall we split the season series in 2 barn-burner type games. At that point I just would have been stoked to be there anyway.

Lakers would have been tough in their gym, but it would have been a great series. N.O. would have had a decent shot, imo. I think the Celtics would have been too much, though.

I do remember the last regular season game against the Lakers. Ended up clobbering them. Can still see the fast break in the 4th when Pargo did a no look, backwards between the legs pass to a trailing Chandler who slammed the crap out of it. De-moralized those pricks.
