I think it's more about the lakers just playing poorly. At the end of the year I still bet LA comes out of the west. It's been painful watching kobe run so many isolations.
the spurs are an outstanding passing team, better than any others I've seen this year. having said that...
I agree that parker is extremely difficult to defend.
a sound defender should be able to corral ginobili. so much of his game is reliant on making defenders pay for making the wrong play. someone that doesn't jump for his up-fakes etc would do fine(kobe, allen, wade).
other than parker, they don't really have that many people that can create their own shot. something that will be key come playoff time(ditto for the mavs).
