I can't stand the Lakers, but it looks as if they woke up. This series has an eery feeling to the 2002 Western Conference Finals. I see San Antonio winning Game 5 and then losing the last two. The Lakers look as if they finally woke up.

Malone and Payton may get real tired now because the scheduling is all jacked up. It's more like dejavu from the semi's of last year. The Spurs win two, lose two, win two.

I don't worry about Malone and Payton because they have great endurance. They would prefer this schedule because if they wait too long for the next game, then they get rusty.
Now all the Lakers have to do is keep Parker away from 20 points. Duncan can get his 25, and the others can combine for 50 or so points, but that comes out to about 75 points. If you hold Parker within 10-15 point range, then it should not be difficult.
As for the Lakers, continuing giving the ball to Shaq. He is doing a great job getting the buckets, passing it out, and stroking his free throws.
When Kobe gets hot like that, keep giving it to him. In Game 1, Kobe was on a role in the third, but then they went away from him and threw horrible lob passes to Shaq.
Take Payton into the post against parker. It works!
Keep Malone involved. He can make the jumpers, and is a great passer as well. You don't play with John Stockton for 18 years and not learn how to pass.
