In my last post, we ran a poll asking Pounders to tell us who they wanted to win the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and Nuggets. While the Nuggets knocked the Spurs out of last year’s playoffs, there was little doubt that Spurs fans would be rooting for the Nuggets and against the Lakers in this series.
Too many playoffs over too many years, with the Western Conference title often at stake, makes it impossible for Spurs fans to root for the Lakers. Adding LeBron James to the mix likely did not help, not even with favorite ex-Spur Danny Green on the Lakers.
