On tuesday the spurs are at home agianst the bobcats. This is a team that beat the l.a. lakers on there court. then on thursday we got the lakers a team that lost in the finals agianst the celtics. Im not the one to brag but ever since Tim Duncan has been on the spurs and they been in the finals the spurs took care of business in winning 4 titles in 4 apperences. so that tells you that the spurs win in important games so when we play the lakers on thursday we gotta win because we need to try to get home court advantage through out the playoffs because were pretty much unstopable at home in the playoffs.

You do know that Bynum isn't playing, right? Wow..don't even know your own team. oh...and the season series is 1-1. Last time we played in SA, we won. Seriously doubt we're scared of ANYTHING the Lakers bring to the table. Gooden was the one guy the Lakers didn't want us to get. Even offering him more money than the Spurs were, just so SA couldn't sign him. He chose us. See you soon, d-bag.

I am a Die-hard Spurs fan since I was a kid. I really want the Spurs to beat the Lakers this year, even though I know it will probably be a long shot. The Lakers just have too much talents at every positions.

The Spurs do not have the salary cap that Lakers has, nor that Hollywood environment that intrigues star players. All Spurs has is the heart of a champion & a group of loyal fans. I will support the Spurs to the end.

One more note, I believe Pop is the best coach in NBA and RC is the best manager. I always believe that a good coach or a good manager is the one who accomplish the most with the least resources. (players, cap, fund, etc...) A coach who win championship with an all star team really doesn't mean much, except that he has good people skill. Just my 2 cents

No..take this from someone who's been watching the spurs for over 20 years...and all of Pops coaching career. He couldn't give a flying monkey fuck about this game. That's why Gooden will not suit up..I kind of believe that's why Manu won't suit up. Pop does NOT want the Lakers to see Gooden's play in a Spurs uniform and give them an opportunity to adjust for the playoffs. This is vintage CIA Pop. If we lose this game, the Lakers will sit back and think they have this in the bag. We're not catching you for the 1 seed...we know that...but we can definitely play the mind games that we know how to do so well.

And a good two cents it is. I do have to say one thing in rebuttal. All star players don't necessarily win a ring. When the Lakers had Payton, Malone, Shaq, and Kobe, they lost. All Stars doesn't guarantee a title. You have to work as a team. We'll see what happens.

It will give the Lakers another chance to set an NBA record (2008) for losing with highest score disparity in a Finals game which you also originally set in 1965. Third time will be a charm?

I'll look forward to it. Lakers suck.

Another meaningless regular season game. Yawn. I'm sure the Spurs will come out to compete, but don't be surprised by Pop throwing the towel early.
At any rate, watch out for the Charlotte game tuesday first. They're fighting for a playoff spot in the East, and they gave us some trouble when we played them in their house. This is the kind of game where we need to show up and play hard early so there are no surprises.

Ummmm...no

The Lakers are 8 games up with 20 left to play.
That = no chance of catching them.
We'd have to go 20-0 and they would have to go 11-9 for us to overtake them. Not happening. Besides, isn't Manu still sitting?
I beg to differ, I don't think Thursdays game is a must win, but it will go a long way to boosting confidence once the playoffs start.

For those stating that Thursday's game against the Lakers "Doesn't Matter"...you do realize that the Spurs have maybe a 2 game lead over the 3-7 seeds in the West? And with teams like the Hornets, Jazz, and Rockets playing so well as of late, every game does matter. Spurs go on a mini-losing streak and they could find themselves falling to the 3rd-5th seed and looking at opening the playoffs on the road perhaps.

Do you have a template that you use to copy/paste and then change a few words?

1/5/09

That game won't be that much of a big deal. The Lakers aren't the best team in the league, or even in the West. Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum are not names that make any team shake.

For me, big games are against New Orleans, Utah and Boston, competitive teams with edge. Even Dallas games are big, just because of the rivalry. The Lakers are not intimidating. They just happen to win a lot of games for who knows what reason. It's like the 2006-2007 Mavs, not intimidating despite winning a lot of games.

11/22/08

In fact, the Spurs will sweep the season series against the Lakers.

Exactly, especially with the blessings21 clown. All cussing and attacks-no real intent to carry on a conversation much less an intelligent one. I'm just as happy ignoring the fools and discussing bball with reasonable minded fans. Fortunately there are an overwhelming number of reasonable people on this site that don't have to resort to cuss talk, smack talk, pretty much debase and classless crap. It's a ST site, many fans are welcome, unfortunately we do have to put up with the classless ones. That's why the Spurs are so respected. We do carry a modicum of class that pubescent trash talkers can never take away. :toast

Might be an Alzheimer's moment. Or a near-impossible attempt to get the thread back on track. ;)

I wouldn't say that. Phil is garbage. He wins because he's always had Mike, or Kobe, or Kobe and Shaq. He said he'd NEVER coach Kobe again, then he had a chance to rebuild the Knicks (the team he played for)from the ground up. He turned it down, saying he was done coaching, and then went back to the Lakers..he wants to have all the players..makes his job a lot easier.

Lotta smack talk going on for such a meaningless regular season game. Enjoying that number 2 seed San Antonio? Did you enjoy it last year as well to go along with your 4-1 ass raping in the playoffs?

Expect a similar outcome this year. :flag::flag::flag::flag::flag::flag: buddy the spurs had the 3rd seed last year.
