What happened to the Spurs-Lakers rivalry?


Kobe Bryant said it really isn’t a rivalry right now. Lakers coach Rudy Tomjanovich said it’s a big game for his team because he considers the Spurs the cream of the crop. Ultimately it will be up to the fans to decide how big the rivalry is. For many Spurs fans who will never forget a game that got away in less than half a second in last year’s playoffs, a Spurs-Lakers meeting will never lack meaning. Give your thoughts.
