<< Remember last season san antonio beat la 3-1 in the playoffs and lost to them in five games. Two of the wins are without shaq. The odds are about right champ hasn't been knocked off yet. And as for the mavs i would take those odds. >>
The Spurs LOST the season series to the Lakers 1-3 last year; then lost 1-4 in the playoffs. It has been quoted often recently that the Spurs won the season series from the Lakers lately (started by Rick Fox after last Sunday's game between the two teams), it is wrong. Also, with Sacramento's (relatively) poor road record I find it suprising they would be the favorites when they will most likely have to play 1, maybe 2 rounds on the road. I don't believe Sacramento has EVER won a playoff series whey they did not have hca; in fact last year Vlade guaranteed they could not.
