spurs play like a team, and that team was well built and ran all props to Poppa. and yes NBA is still a joke, though i would have loved to see the bulls battle it out against the heat and spurs.

Being a Juve fan all these years, I'm more than used to hearing the bs 
Spurs have character.

San Antonio can only beat themselves, but they deserve to win the title again. Tim Duncan's dunk on my man Ibaka was just nasty.

No. I read the papers. Believe the hype. Jeremy Lin is a superhero and the Knicks are cruising to the title. 
Oh the Linsanity!!!

a lot better options than Gasol out there.They say that the Rockets are again the frontrunners to get him. They wanted him badly at the beginning of the season, and apparently they still do. The latest is Scola and Martin for him, and for Bynum, it is Deron Williams and Brook Lopez.
Gasol wasn't too cool with being the third option in Mike Brown's offense this season. Then again, I was never cool with Mike Brown in the first place.

He averaged 18 and 10 this year as a 3rd option. I wouldn't say that he's declining fast. his game is not the type for a big man where he has to take a physical pounding. He's not the player that he was a couple of years ago, but he's not chopped liver either.
Bynum has basically infuriated everyone on the Lakers this year. I love his talent, but he has been petulant, and unwilling to listen to the coaching staff. He just doesn't seem to be the right fit in L.A.,a nd that's too bad, because I love his game. New Jersey/Brooklyn would be perfect for him. He'd be going home.

The bottom line is, they need to blow this up. I had been saying it for the past couple of years, but their tendency to just throw in draft picks in deals, or sell the draft picks on draft day for the sake of avoiding any further luxury tax implications, have really hurt this squad.
Look at the Spurs for example. They kept all of their 1st round draft picks, and did a fantastic job scouting internationally with a couple of their 2nd round picks, and look where they are now,. The perfect mix of veterans and young players. the Lakers should have followed this model.
