The reign of the San Antonio Spurs is over after the Lakers mounted a furious rally from 17 points down to win 100-92. The victory not only eliminated the Spurs four games to one, but sent L.A. to their first NBA Finals in four seasons.

After the game, Coach Jackson made sure to congratulate the Spurs for a noble attempt at defending their championship trophy.

“First of all, let me say a heartfelt congratulations to the Spurs for their run this season,” said Jackson. “They put a lot of dedication into it. I know how difficult it is when you have gone through the duration of seasons they’ve had to keep that energy going.”

Well I supposed the writing was on the wall after Game 4. I can’t deny that but I’m going to say that the main reason Spurs lost is because they’ve just WASTED TOO MANY CHANCES.

The dominance that they have shown during the Suns was never there to be seen.

So, we will just jave to look forward to next season. After they did before, they can do it again, right?

Of course, next season I’ll be looking at the arrival of Tiago Splitter. I hear he is an excellent player from Brazil but based in Spain.

Overall it has been a exciting season to watch.

Now both Manu & Oberto can look forward to the Olympics.

Of course you opinion about the game is always welcomed…
