Vic

I have said that I think both the Hornets and Lakers might be more talented than the Spurs.

But, I still think the advantage lies in the experience and mental make-up of the Spurs.

I will take the Spurs over both the lakers and the hornets in a close nail biter playoff game.

Kobe still will be Kobe and that is a big thing for those tense moments I admit.

But, look how the Spurs closed out the Suns in games 1 and 5.  They had robotic unflappable steel traps for minds.  They played flawless in the most pressured situations while the Suns completely imploded.

So far the laughable soft Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks let the younger Lakers/Hornets have easy blowouts.  Blowouts come fewer the further teams go...

Most of the Lakers havent been deep in the playoffs.  Hardly any of them have experienced a close game in the final minutes of the playoffs.  I am not sure if Gasol even played a game 6 or 7 in his career.

My apologies Horns, I didnt get the whole scope of your arguement, thank you for the clairfication.  Yes, the Spurs probably have much more experience then probably both of our teams combined except that there is one big difference, the Hornets have 1 guy on their entire roster that has experienced first hand what happens in the trenches of a tight playoff series but this guy also lacks the killer instinct it takes to win those battles, that guy is Peja Stojakavic, the Lakers on the other hand have 2 guys Derek Fisher and your old friend Kobe Bryant who has battled the Spurs in the past also, add that with a coach who has beat you guys multiple times in the past against virtually the same type of Spurs teams as their present one.  Those 3 core guys are very familiar with the San Antonio Spurs and all 3 have burned you before in the past, its great that you guys have all that experience which will definetly be a factor against a inexperienced team like N.O, but when you face us that experience that you have can be countered with the experience of our killer 3!
