|
| |  | LA LAKERS: GUARDS: KOBE BRYANT is 35 and coming off a ruptured Achilles. Even if he is ready for the season opener (as expected), Achilles injuries have drained the athleticism out of younger men . . . STEVE NASH enters the year healthy, but the training staff has discussed a minutes cap for the 39-year-old point guard . . . NICK YOUNG could grab that other starting wing spot, opposite his boyhood idol. How those two gunners could co-exist is something we'd love to see . . . STEVE BLAKE looked good in this offense last season, but is strictly a back-up . . . JODIE MEEKS might shoot his way into a much bigger role this season . . . XAVIER HENRY will need to prove a lot to earn himself minutes . . . What are you complaining about, Lakers fans? You got JORDAN FARMAR back! FORWARDS: PAU GASOL should benefit from the departure of Dwight Howard, who never bought into head coach Mike D'Antoni's offense or even tried to mesh with Gasol. D'Antoni's up-tempo, Euro-style system is perfectly suited to Gasol's strengths. And when Nash sits, they can run a lot of sets through their big man . . . WESLEY JOHNSON will have a chance to grab the vacant small forward spot. The former No. 4 overall pick has been a big disappointment through three seasons, but he looked decent as a spot-up shooter last seasons . . . JORDAN HILL will be the first big man off the bench in a thin frontcourt rotation. He can rebound and clean up around the basket a bit . . . ELIAS HARRIS keeps the Gonzaga connection going . . . SHAWNE WILLIAMS has had success for D'Antoni, but he is far removed from his days contributing for the Knicks. CENTERS: CHRIS KAMAN is the consolation prize after Dwight Howard's departure. Yes, it's a monstrous downgrade talent-wise, but as a skilled 7-footer, Kaman at least fits D'Antoni's system better . . . ROBERT SACRE has a chance to develop into a useful back-up center. | | SAN ANTONIO: GUARDS:Considering how exhausted he looked by the end of the Finals, don't be surprised if TONY PARKER gets more rest during the regular season . . . DANNY GREEN had a coming-out party this past June. A three-point specialist who can defend, the Spurs will lean on him more heavily during the first 82 . . . MANU GINOBILI looks oh-so-close to being done. His minutes will decline . . . MARCO BELINELLI adds quality depth behind Green. He'll take many of the minutes that used to go to Ginobili and Gary Neal, who left for Milwaukee . . . CORY JOSEPH enters the season as the favorite to back up Parker, but it's a fluid situation . . . NANDO DE COLO fell out of the rotation last season, but has enough talent that he should bounce back . . . PATTY MILLS is more of a cheerleader than a useful bench piece. FORWARDS: TIM DUNCAN just keeps going. The 2012-13 regular season was his best in years. The Spurs will keep his minutes in check, but he likely has another great season in him . . . KAWHI LEONARD is one of the league's elite role players, and he seems to keep getting better. He can shoot, score off the dribble and defend . . . JEFF AYRES is a skilled big man who will back up Duncan and can play alongside him for stretches. Like all of their frontcourt players besides Duncan, the player formerly known as Jeff Pendergraph, will see his playing time will fluctuate greatly depending on matchups. CENTERS: TIAGO SPLITTER continues to improve rapidly, and he'll now take the bulk of the minutes alongside Duncan. But as we saw in last year's Finals, head coach Gregg Popovich will keep him on the bench if the matchup isn't right . . . BORIS DIAW's versatility gives Pop options off the bench . . . MATT BONNER is pretty much just around to participate in the Three-Point Shootout at this point in his career. |

*Lakers-Spurs Preview* ======================
By JORDAN GARRETSON STATS Writer
Los Angeles (26-55) at San Antonio (62-19), 8:00 p.m. EDT
Though the San Antonio Spurs are one win shy of matching their single-season record, don't expect coach Gregg Popovich to sacrifice rest for his top players in their final game.
San Antonio hosts the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday night.
The Spurs (62-19) have wrapped up the top seed in the Western Conference for the third time in four years after finishing two games behind Oklahoma City last season. That hasn't been a guarantee of postseason success - they lost to the Thunder in the Western Conference finals in 2012 and fell to Memphis in the first round in 2011 - and tying the team mark for victories hardly seems to be a priority for Popovich.
He played Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili fewer than 25 minutes apiece in a 104-98 loss at Houston on Monday, apparently uninterested in the proximity of San Antonio's best-ever mark of 63-19 set in 2005-06.
Marco Belinelli, the only Spur to play more than 30 minutes, scored 17 points to lead seven San Antonio players in double figures.
"We definitely did what we wanted to do. We were able to play everybody - no injuries - and we got a good sweat out of it," said Parker, who scored 10 in 26 minutes.
The point guard has scored 24 or more in four of his last eight against Los Angeles while shooting 57.8 percent from the field in that span.
"We have one more game and will try to do the same thing," Parker said. "Fifteen or 20 minutes for everybody and make sure we stay in shape and be ready for either Saturday or Sunday."
The Spurs have won seven of eight against the Lakers and are aiming for their first season sweep since 2004-05.
Los Angeles will likely look dramatically different next season after missing the playoffs for just the third time since 1976-77. Though the Lakers (26-55) ended a seven-game skid Monday with a 119-104 win at Utah, Wednesday's contest could be the last with coach Mike D'Antoni on the sideline.
D'Antoni is 66-87 in two years with the team, including the franchise's worst-ever record this season since moving to Los Angeles.
The Lakers' roster will almost certainly undergo significant change with 12 of 15 players eligible for free agency. Nick Young, who has a player option for 2013-14, finished two shy of his career high with 41 points against the Jazz.
"You have to find the joy even when you may be frustrated with the way things have been going," said Young, averaging 21.9 points and shooting 45.5 percent from 3-point range in his last 14 games after injuries sidelined him for 17 of the previous 18.
Young, though, has averaged 8.6 points and 33.0 percent shooting in 10 career matchups with San Antonio.
Los Angeles shot 37.9 percent in the first three meetings compared to 47.4 percent for the Spurs.
San Antonio has won 15 in a row at home.
