Games left: 2
This is no doubt the matchup everyone is curious about.
The Lakers are heading into the playoffs as two time defending champs and are by all accounts the team to beat.
If it comes down to this matchup I believe that the Spurs have a very clear and dominating advantage.
Like I said earlier, the playoffs are very different from the regular season, and thus we will not take into account the fact that Kobe has shot below 30 percent against the Spurs this year.
In the playoffs, Kobe knows how to play and if he begins shooting poorly look for him to devote his energy to some other facet of the game.
The starting five are also very well balanced and the Duncan - Gasol matchup could be the big factor in this series.
I would love to see this match up and the winner of this could very well end up winning it all.
However, my prediction is that if this happens, the Spurs will win in a relatively easy fashion when considering the magnitude of this clash.
The Chance of Beating the Lakers: Moderate to High
