We’re rapidly approaching the conclusion of the 2004 NBA season. How will the Spurs finish the season out? How they perform on Sunday in LA will play a critical role in the end of the season. I would have hoped it wouldn’t come down to the wire like this, but that’s just the way the Spurs seem to work.

The Lakers are on a winning streak. Their dream team is healthy, and for the last eleven games, they’ve been unstoppable. I sincerely hope they encounter a significant speed bump tomorrow. Better yet, I’d prefer a brick wall.

I’ll be watching.
