Lets see him and Mailman play a couple games against good defenders and then make a true judgement on it. I think this series will be fairly short, either way. I think one team seizes the initiative early on and then just suffocates their opponents on defense and slowly squeezes the air out of them. I don't see a 7 gamer here. With the Spurs at home early I suspect they have the better chance to make this happen, but Lakers always come geared up in game 1. Definitely a series for the ages, the Spurs winning last year just makes this one so much better. Remember before last year a lot of people were convinced they couldn't play with the Lakers.
