My guess is Spurs in 6. In the get one on the Lakers homecourt and finish them at home in Game 6 theory. The Lakers, with Fisher and Kobe there dominating the ball and PJ on the sidelines are far FAR less likely to blink in a Game 7 at home than the Hornets were.
But much depends on Kobe. Swap Kobe out with Michael Jordan, and the Spurs are done. No way Jordan would let that squad beat him. And they could pummel him, get cheap, flop, whine, cry, intentionally foul or anything else the hell they wanted, and he would simply step forward and ice them. And give them a little glare just to let them know.
And so now we come to Kobe. He has spent his entire career as a wannabe Jordan. Loads of talent, but missing the essential character that made Jordan Jordan, and has made Kobe a cancer. Here is his chance to make like Jordan. He's got Jordan's coach. He's got a veteran team with at least as much talent as their opponent. And he is the best player on the floor, by quite a bit at this point in everybody's career. This is the one that Jordan never lost. Would never allow himself to lose. Pau and Odom look far more mature now than they once did, but without a leader you have to believe they will crumble before the Spurs antics just as they always have. Its put up or shut up time for Kobe. And if he does put up, Spurs go home, maybe even quickly. If he does not...
