Hard to tell if it’s bias, wishful thinking, a gut-feeling, or a reasoned opinion. Probably go with the ‘gut feeling’. But I think the Lakers have game 2. I know the Spurs will come out hard. I know that San Antonio won’t be overly bothered by the game 1 loss. It’s not going to get in their heads, they are not - pointedly - the Suns. But… I think it’s the Lakers who improve performance ...Silver Bullets?

My gut was right. Boy oh boy, was it right. There are still games to be played (most importantly, to be played on San Antonio’s home court), so don’t want to get ahead of myself, but sheesh… was that a dominant game by the Lakers or what?
