Lakers will win the world champioship again.

As a Spurs fan, I'm not totally shocked to see the last two games played out the way they did. Despite the Media's claim as Bowen being a 'Kobe stopper', Kobe is historically the one that burns the Spurs. If he is putting up 30+ points with good FG percentage, the Spurs are usually in trouble.

I can't understand why Popovich isn't using Kevin Willis more in defense of Shaq. Rasho is to slow and cumbersome, Horry isn't strong enough, and Malik is just two small. Duncan will never win the battle of the calls with Shaq so he can't be on him.

If Bowen can't keep Kobe from putting up 40 points, he is worthless to the Spurs in this series. Ginobili or Devin Brown will at least force Kobe to respect their scoring ability so he can't help off so much on defense.

The Lakers got to the line entirely too much in the last two games, but that's what usually happens inthe NBA. The home team typically plays more aggressive, gets the benefit of the calls and gets to the line. i expect the Spurs to get to the line quite a bit in SA.

Speaking of foul shots, does anyone else find it freaking ridiculous that SA has been called for 3 lane violations on free throws by Shaq in this series? This is the same Shaq that violates the lane on nearly half his attempts!! That is just some lame officiating. I don't think the refs are the reason SA lost, I just think that is lame officiating.
