Game Blog: Lakers @ Spurs, March 12, 2009

[HarlemHeat37]

get Bonner out of the game..please get him out..

[NRHector]

where is tim duncan?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:pctoss DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT

[JohnnySixString]

Hey, at least it's not another shitty team the Spurs are struggling against. On the down side, the Spurs are the shitty team tonight.

[Josepatches_]

Can´t we be able to take advantage of Td Vs Mbenga?

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan looks 50 years old right now. Put his ass on the bench. He's not contributing in any way possible right now.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

We need Goodens Rebounding :hungry

[Supergirl]

wtf is the Spurs problem tonight? why are tony and time both sucking so bad?

[Yorae]

Spurs can't box out to save their lives.

[ScuderiaSpur]

Gooden is in!!

[crc21209]

Gooden baby!!!!!!

[Libri]

Gooden is in.

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden is in.

[TampaDude]

Gooden!!!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

yesssss Gooden..this is your time, prove yourself..

[Josepatches_]

Here is Gooden

[ILoveOranges]

No way!

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

By this point, Manu wouldn't have allowed our little mini-run to stop. This is pathetic.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bonner chokes again

[lefty]

where is tim duncan?

In TP's ass

Which explains why TP has been so bad tonight

[turiaf for president]

very curious to see how well gooden plays with SA

[Supergirl]

Is Gooden playing?

[Spursmania]

GOODEN-poor guy looks a little nervous.

[crc21209]

Let's go baby Gooden on D already!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wait it is gooden!!!!

[usckk]

Gooden-sighting!

[Capt Bringdown]

Don Meredith warming up backstage.
"Turn off the lights, the party's over...
they say that all good things must end."

[usckk]

Haha. Is that all? I wouldn't be suprised if Pop benched him after the official timeout.

[JohnnySixString]

Take em all out. Obviously this is not a game they look like they want to win. Maybe they are just trying too hard? Pull a Nuggets and bench the guys. Tank the game you're already tanking.

[coachmac87]

If the spurs want any chance of winning this game Tony Parker has to wake the fuck up...

[crc21209]

Man if fucking TP, Mase, and Bonner make the shots they usually make, this is a 4-8 pt game damn it.

[hitmanyr2k]

GOODEN-poor guy looks a little nervous.

Nervous energy is better than no energy at all. The Spurs need a sign of life out there.

[xtremesteven33]

Goooooooooooddd

[Thomas82]

Here is Gooden

That move shocked everybody.

[Spurologist]

:pctoss

:pctoss

:pctoss

[TampaDude]

The Lakers are way more athletic than the Spurs...the Spurs need to play smart basketball to win. So far, the Spurs have been playing so-so basketball. Maybe Gooden will give them a spark.

[Josepatches_]

Is TD playing with kneepads?

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan has been sucking, but what do you guys want him to do exactly? he only has 5 shots, they're sending double teams when he gets it..it's up to the role players like Bonner and Mason to make shots..

Finley is doing his job...

that Thomas missed layup really killed all the momentum..it could have been a 6-point game..

[NRHector]

sorry if I piss someone off but Tim looks like he is scared of gasol

[Libri]

There was a standing ovation for Gooden.

[Spurs Brazil]

Is TD playing with kneepads?

On both knees

[Jayem3]

we cant rebound..
we cant make free throws..
we can't stop turning it over..

WE HAVE NO CHANCE.

[Ice009]

Ton of pressure on Drew. the Spurs are stinking it up and people are expecting him to get us back in the game.

This is not up to Drew. Every other Spurs needs to take a long hard look at themselves in the mirror.

[usckk]

TD looks terrible so far :( He must be really hurting..

[NRHector]

Duncan has been sucking, but what do you guys want him to do exactly? he only has 5 shots, they're sending double teams when he gets it..it's up to the role players like Bonner and Mason to make shots..

Finley is doing his job...

that Thomas missed layup really killed all the momentum..it could have been a 6-point game..
well if is not doing shit at least try to get a foul or bench his ass

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I guess Pop didnt want to play CIA tonight...

[Spursfan092120]

this Miss March movie looks great..lol

[ploto]

One negative stat on Gooden is 6 teams in 7 years in the NBA- especially for the 4th pick.

[Crookshanks]

this game is painful to watch so far - and it's even worse having to listen to these announcers!

Come on Spurs - wake up!!!

[crc21209]

TP 0-3
Mase 1-6
Bonner 0-2

If half of those at least go in this is a game right now.

[usckk]

I'm surprised Pop put Gooden in. It's not good to put him in against a good team the first time.

[Spursmania]

Nervous energy is better than no energy at all. The Spurs need a sign of life out there.

True-we need something. Cause we look bad right now.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Lakers 4 Spurs 1

That'll be the results of the 2009 Playoffs WCF


Duncan's knee sealed the deal

[DrHouse]

This game is far from over. I've seen the Lakers go up big like this and then blow it too many times to count.

[HarlemHeat37]

we have to stop missing FTs too..Parker and Hill are good FT shooters, shouldn't be missing them when you're trying to get back in a game..

[turiaf for president]

Djjj

[crc21209]

If Mbenga is making anything, forget it.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Wow Duncan...

[usckk]

Jeez Duncan!

[lefty]

http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u296/emotionless2007/cpflop.gif?t=1236906696

[hitmanyr2k]

Tim, how about trying to keep the ball above your waist for a change. It's not likely it'll get stripped like you do 1000 times a year.

[Crookshanks]

10-0 run by the Lakers :depressed :bang

[usckk]

Rebound by gooden!

[Yorae]

Gooden is in?

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden with the board..lol

[turiaf for president]

wow TP

[crc21209]

Wow TP's shot was waaaaay off.

[Josepatches_]

No call on TD all the night

What a JS TP!!!

[TampaDude]

TP sucks... :lol

[Spursmania]

Parker needs to get out.

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony hits the side of the backboard..what the fuck??..

[Yorae]

Wow no field goal for tp!

[usckk]

Gooden a rebounding king!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ughhhhhh

[crc21209]

Nothing is going in. Bad shot selection by everyone.

[Spursfan092120]

everyone's off..it's sad.

[ploto]

Spurs need to rest Duncan and let him heal- like with Manu.

[JohnnySixString]

Lakers 4 Spurs 1

That'll be the results of the 2009 Playoffs WCF


Duncan's knee sealed the deal


Provided the Spurs make it that far.

[miklo velka]

Finally

[turiaf for president]

Wow no field goal for tp!

spoke too soon

[Spursfan092120]

Finally Tony gets a shot to go.

[Josepatches_]

Only down by 15

[crc21209]

I like the way Gooden looks in a Spurs jersey. :tu

[Yorae]

Finally tp....

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Tony Parker is shooting like SHIT

[Spursmania]

Wow-15 point game. Lakers are schooling us.

[Capt Bringdown]

TD backing his dribble into a double team may not be the best move.

[ScuderiaSpur]

We really need to stop turning it over in the 2nd half... this blows

[lefty]

http://i125.photobucket.com/albums/p55/RackTheMouse/iii.jpg

[crc21209]

Go on a little 6-0 run here, and I'll be happy.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan really came back too early, he's looked absolutely horrible since he returned from the injury..sit him out for as long as he needs, we aren't going anywhere if he's playing like this..

[Spursfan092120]

Lakers 4 Spurs 1

That'll be the results of the 2009 Playoffs WCF


Duncan's knee sealed the deal
Thanks for jinxing the Lakers...I appreciate it.

[Chomag]

Dammit.. are our vets scared of getting hurt tonight? They are playing the most timid I have seen them this year.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Gooden does look nervous....:lol

I hope he gets more comfortable with more games,

[Lakers999]

im having a great time here

[milkshakeballa]

TP 0-3
Mase 1-6
Bonner 0-2

If half of those at least go in this is a game right now.

And if FInley isn't having the best game of his career you are STILL down 30 fucking dumbass

[Yorae]

spoke too soon

Glad about it. :lol Hope he heats up.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Provided the Spurs make it that far.

yeah, gino's ankle, duncan's knee, as well as poor defense and overrated offense the WCF would be championship in itself at this rate.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

One negative stat on Gooden is he's not white

fify.

[Ice009]

Fuck that shot from TP a few plays ago hit the side of the back board.

TP has no heart against the Lakers. Manu is the only guy on the team that WILL TAKE IT TO THE LAKERS AND NOT BE INTIMIDATED.

[TampaDude]

The sad thing is this would be about a 5-6 point game right now if we could JUST GET THE DAMN SHOTS TO FALL!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

TD backing his dribble into a double team may not be the best move.

Too predictable. He should try making a move on the catch for a change.

[Spursfan092120]

TNT sucking Kobe's cock as usual

[Spurs Brazil]

Only Finley is playing well on O

TP and TD are bad.

[crc21209]

Gooden! Fuck yea! Nice J!

[Josepatches_]

Gooden

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gooden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Libri]

Goooden!

[Brazil]

This game is far from over. I've seen the Lakers go up big like this and then blow it too many times to count.

Are you crazy ? this game is over

[miklo velka]

Yeeeaahhh booooiiii

[TampaDude]

Gooden!!!

[Spurologist]

Gooden

duece from tp

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden

[Yorae]

And if FInley isn't having the best game of his career you are STILL down 30 fucking dumbass

Noob, you ain't playing the real spurs unless its the playoffs.

[turiaf for president]

wow pau

[miklo velka]

Gooden is a BEAST!!!

[crc21209]

Gooden is the shit!

[HarlemHeat37]

Drew gooden

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

There we go GOODEN!

[hitmanyr2k]

Thank GOD Gooden can get a fuckin rebound.

[Spurologist]

let's fuckingGO

[Spursfan092120]

Gooden just wanted an extra rebound..lol

[turiaf for president]

shit down to 13. extend it to 15 lakers!

[Borosai]

Lakers are hot, Spurs are not. There's not much you can do when they are knocking down jumpshot after jumpshot. But the hustle and rebounding is sucky.

Gooooden.

[Lakers999]

God dammit dunk that gasol

[lefty]

I hope the Suns or the Blazers eliminate the Lakers for us

[ILoveOranges]

:wow

[Yorae]

Woohoo tp!

[MateoNeygro]

Gooden is a rebounding machine!!!

[Spursmania]

Gooden wants a long term contract.

[ScuderiaSpur]

Kobe can never commit a foul !! wow

[TampaDude]

Fuck a buffalo!!! Where's the fucking whistle???

[Spursfan092120]

Where's the FUCKING FOUL?!

[turiaf for president]

Kobe can never commit a foul !! wow

dood tp spun into kobe. he was standing still.

[Biggems]

Parker and Mason are sucking complete ass tonight. What a night to bring their C or D game to the table.

Nice foul by Kobe to end the half....even nicer for the refs to swallow their whistles

[Yorae]

With the high level of our suckitude, we should be glad we're somehow still in the game.

[Lakers999]

trevor is such a nimrod

[crc21209]

Whats new, fouls against the Lakers in S.A are never called.

[VaSpursFan]

gooden is doing good things already. he definitely needs more mins ASAP

[Ice009]

Fuck Bonner off from now on.

GOODEN MUST START the second half.

Loved Gooden's rebounding.

[TampaDude]

I hope the Mavs or the Blazers eliminate the Lakers for us

fify

[Josepatches_]

not bad after all.We must be going down by 25-30

[crc21209]

I'm surprised we have 38 by half, and held the Lakers to 18 in the 2nd qtr.

[ploto]

Spurs starters have been annihilated by the Lakers starters.
Duncan -20
Bonner -20
Parker -14

Kobe +26
Odom +23
Ariza +22

[crc21209]

Gooden is trying to prove himself, and so far, so good. He's hustling out there, rebounding like crazy, and even hit a J.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Gooden in 3 and a half minutes already has 4 rebounds that's 2 less than Timmy and 2 more than both Thomas and Oberto

[Brazil]

well at least it will have a positive thing during this game: the gooden first min

[024]

spurs can get back into this. td or parker needs to go ballistic though. spurs bench showed some life, can help make up some ground. deficit would be a lot smaller if the starting lineup didn't squander the gains of the bench.

[Spurs Brazil]

Gooden did a good job there.

Too bad Mason Jr, TD and TP are playing very bad

[hitmanyr2k]

trevor is such a nimrod

I was waiting for the interviewer to say "Trevor, you're not too bright are ya?"

[HarlemHeat37]

our D hasn't been horrible..we've made mistakes on closing out the mid-range J, but it's been good enough to be in the game..the offense on the other hand has been disgusting..Duncan and Parker forgot we have a game tonight, Mason is sucking, Ime is Ime, Bonner is bad Bonner..

Finley, Hill and Gooden in his 1 minute have been the only bright spots..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs starters have been annihilated by the Lakers starters.
Duncan -20
Bonner -20
Parker -14

Kobe +26
Odom +23
Ariza +22

no shit, thanks Hollinger

[TampaDude]

I love that MLB '09 commercial!!! LMFAO!!! :lol

[milkshakeballa]

If it wasn't for the refs and if it wasn't for the fact you guys ONLY have 38 points this would be a game!!

If you guys had Manu this would be a game!!

If Pop cared about this regular season game...guess what?!?! It wouldbe a game!!!


The Lakers don't even have Drew....the sooner you accept the fact you guys have NO FUCKING CHANCE to beat the Lakers in the playoffs the easier it will be to accept.

DEAL WITH IT.

[VaSpursFan]

Fuck Bonner off from now on.

GOODEN MUST START the second half.

Loved Gooden's rebounding.

+1. his energy seemed to invigorate the spurs for those final mins. bonner must sit the second half and the remainder of the season.

[Spursfan092120]

Are you crazy ? this game is over
Come on man..it's halftime..this game isn't close to over..it's Spurs/Lakers..but even it if is...as the Lakers fans have said this week...this game doesn't matter...playoffs matter...but...we can get back into this.

[crc21209]

Gooden did more than Bonner and Oberto combined in less minutes. More Gooden and Thomas, less Bonner and Oberto at this point.

[Capt Bringdown]

The problem is our 2 best players at the moment are completely intimidated and hear footsteps whenever they play against the Lakers.
Same for our coach.
It's up to our supporting players to get it done, and that ain't good enough.

[Quiet Strength]

Duncan and parker are playing soft tonight... its ugly watching that. Gooden looked pretty good out there.. he should start over bonner in the second half.

[turiaf for president]

was this gooden's first game as a spur?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

2nd half lineup


Parker
Hill
Bowen
Duncan
Gooden

[hitmanyr2k]

Spurs starters have been annihilated by the Lakers starters.
Duncan -20
Bonner -20
Parker -14

Kobe +26
Odom +23
Ariza +22

I said before, if you take out the starters LA's lead will most likely go down. Duncan and Parker are killing this team tonight. The bench played a hell of a lot better and with more energy.

[Ice009]

Get Gooden in there for the second half.

Bonner doesn't have the balls to play the Lakers.

George Hill has balls though. Get George more court time if Mason and Finley want to keep stinking it up.

From the little I watched so far Gooden is trying hard out there and Hill playing with heart. the rest suck.

[Yorae]

Are the spurs fans even cheering the spurs in the At&T?

[crc21209]

Oh god here comes Chuck, Kenny, and Webber.

[Spursmania]

I know I sound like a damn tape recorder, but Bonner ALWAYS sucks against the Lakers.
So does Udoka. Bonner's a great shooter, but he sucks against the Lakers. Pop please don't start him anymore.

[MannyIsGod]

Pop made a lot of mistakes early and most of his lineups have been horrible in this game. The Spurs spacing is fucking HORRIBLE so there's no way anyone is going to score in the paint until that is fixed. Some of the lineups in the first quarter were absolute trash though.

Pop couldn't control his knee jerk when the Lakers scored a lot of points early even though the defense was fine. He put in lineups that couldn't board to save their lives and the Lakers ended up getting something like 6 or 7 offensive boards in that first quarter when they actually DID miss.

The 2nd quarter was better, but that was mainly because he played George Hill. But then on the offensive side we still ran some ugly sets that are never going to work against the Lakers.

Phil Jackson owns the fuck out of Tony Parker and Pop needs to figure out a way to free him for some easy points.

[Spursfan092120]

If it wasn't for the refs and if it wasn't for the fact you guys ONLY have 38 points this would be a game!!

If you guys had Manu this would be a game!!

If Pop cared about this regular season game...guess what?!?! It wouldbe a game!!!


The Lakers don't even have Drew....the sooner you accept the fact you guys have NO FUCKING CHANCE to beat the Lakers in the playoffs the easier it will be to accept.

DEAL WITH IT.
Dude..you're making Laker fans look bad. seriously...Ask your fellow Laker fans..this game means nothing...they've been saying it all week...so...I'll say it for everyone...
http://www.dailyhaha.com/_pics/STFU_NOOB.jpg

[ploto]

gooden is doing good things already. he definitely needs more mins ASAP

Thomas is playing well, too. Will Pop sit Bonner??

[Supergirl]

Lakers getting away with mugging the Spurs what's new. But the defense and the rebounding picked up in the 2nd quarter, and the Lakers are starting to cool off offensively.

I still Spurs' chances to come back and take this game. Lakers haven't played 48 minutes of good basketball in one night all season.

[Quiet Strength]

was this gooden's first game as a spur?

Yup yup... im surprised pop put him out there

[NRHector]

tp and td picked the wrong fucken night to be off, so throw the towel Pop is garbage time

[Josepatches_]

If it wasn't for the refs and if it wasn't for the fact you guys ONLY have 38 points this would be a game!!

If you guys had Manu this would be a game!!

If Pop cared about this regular season game...guess what?!?! It wouldbe a game!!!


The Lakers don't even have Drew....the sooner you accept the fact you guys have NO FUCKING CHANCE to beat the Lakers in the playoffs the easier it will be to accept.

DEAL WITH IT.


Only words.
Tonight's game isn't a playoff game.

[Spursfan092120]

was this gooden's first game as a spur?
yep..first time..

[crc21209]

Get Gooden in there for the second half.

Bonner doesn't have the ball to play the Lakers.

George Hill has balls too. Get George more courttime if Mason and Finley want to keep stinking it up.

From the little I watched so far. Good trying hard out there and Hill playing with heart. the rest suck.

Are you serious? Fin is the only one making shots and stepping up out there tonight. He's 7-9, and 3-3 from 3 for 17 points.

[Ice009]

If it wasn't for the refs and if it wasn't for the fact you guys ONLY have 38 points this would be a game!!

If you guys had Manu this would be a game!!

If Pop cared about this regular season game...guess what?!?! It wouldbe a game!!!


The Lakers don't even have Drew....the sooner you accept the fact you guys have NO FUCKING CHANCE to beat the Lakers in the playoffs the easier it will be to accept.

DEAL WITH IT.

Keep that attitude and overestimate us. Keep doing it.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Gooden had flashes of acceptability.

[Spursfan092120]

tp and td picked the wrong fucken night to be off, so throw the towel Pop is garbage time
Throw the towel? It's only halftime...

[Borosai]

Too bad POPS! is gone, or we would welcome early garbage time.

[crc21209]

Sending a message Chuck? Really? Manu isn't even on the court...we know what we can do when fully healthy.

[ploto]

Are the spurs fans even cheering the spurs in the At&T?

You can hear Lakers fans.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

WOW Chuck bashing us hard

[Quiet Strength]

Are you serious? Fin is the only one making shots and stepping up out there tonight. He's 7-9, and 3-3 from 3 for 17 points.


Seriously.. Finley is the only one shooting good tonight for the spurs... too bad his defense still sucks ass...

[Danny.Zhu]

We sucks...

[Josepatches_]

Lakers getting away with mugging the Spurs what's new. But the defense and the rebounding picked up in the 2nd quarter, and the Lakers are starting to cool off offensively.

I still Spurs' chances to come back and take this game. Lakers haven't played 48 minutes of good basketball in one night all season.

Yes.They lost big leads sometimes.
The problem is they know our offensive plays very good and their D is very good tonight

[JohnnySixString]

WOW Chuck bashing us hard

They deserve it. Manu-less or not...they SUCK out there.

[bbarry]

you call that bashing? you're a pussy. he's just speaking the truth.

[TampaDude]

Eat the head!!! :lol

[Duncanoypi]

Suns arent making the playoffs buddy, and we want the Blazers.

WTF is this?

Who are in the 1900 Lakers Rosters?

James Naismith?

[Duncan2177]

Put your TV on mute, and play some country music

Fuck that ill play some pantera.

[turiaf for president]

dammit why couldnt gooden come to la? guess hes gonna get alot more PT playing alongside TD. if it works out, that could be a pretty strong duo

[MannyIsGod]

One thing is for sure, if Duncan and Parker doesn't show up then this game is indeed over. Both have played horribly. On one hand, the Spurs need to hit some 3s or else Tony won't get any looks but run him offf some screens for jumpers if you have to. Duncan, on the other hand, just needs to abuse whoever he has on him on the block. N one on the Lakers should be able to D him up without help. No one.

[Quiet Strength]

WTF is this?

Who are in the 1900 Lakers Rosters?

James Naismith?

:lmao

[hitmanyr2k]

Sending a message Chuck? Really? Manu isn't even on the court...we know what we can do when fully healthy.

It doesn't matter. You plant the seeds of doubt in the other players while you have the chance. To quote Karate Kid....no mercy lol.

[Spursfan092120]

WTF is this?

Who are in the 1900 Lakers Rosters?

James Naismith?
:lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't care if anybody bashes the Spurs, we deserve all the hate..horrible effort, horrible decision making, horrible performances so far by our 2 star players..

we're gonna have to hope the Lakers bench lets us back in the game..

refs haven't been a problem at all..they're outplaying us, that's it..

[Borosai]

If the Lakers hadn't made all those shots in the first half to go along with the hustle plays, and if the Spurs had made more shots, the score wouldn't be the same. Don't argue with me, you can't change my mind.

[JohnnySixString]

Fuck that ill play some pantera.

What? Cemetary Gates?

[xellos88330]

Well, at least it isn't a layup drill for the Lakers. Hopefully they cool off from outside. The Spurs need to stop that 10ft jumper they keep giving the LA bigs.

[TheManFromAcme]

Like I mentioned in another thread about 3 minutes ago....

Drew looks pretty damn good. Things to look for in the 2nd half:

- If lamar blows wind in the 2nd half (which he is known to do), Spurs will capitalize
- If lamar plays the way he's playing.....better chances for the Lakeshow

This thing is far from over. Pop is running some plans with Gooden in them.

This thing would be a whole lot more entertaining with Manu in it I must admit.

[Josepatches_]

Seriously.. Finley is the only one shooting good tonight for the spurs... too bad his defense still sucks ass...


Maybe but 53 points at halftime by the Lakers aren't two much.The problem is our 38 points.So Finley is important right now.

[Ice009]

tp and td picked the wrong fucken night to be off, so throw the towel Pop is garbage time

You fucking throw in the TOWEL.

NO FUCKING WAY I AM THROWING IN THE TOWEL.

[Spursfan092120]

Wow...thanks...a good post from Laker fan..

[Yorae]

Points to address: Half-time statlines.

*La is currently shooting 53%. That needs to go down for us to have a chance.
*We're being outrebounded 23 to 18. Lakers have 6 offensive boards against our two. Hope our front court turn things around in the 2nd half.
*We already have 8 turnovers while LA has only two. We need to pressure them more and at the same time take care of our possesions.

If TP and TD don't pick up their games and we could at least defend Gasol decently and outbox Odom, this will be a massacre.

[Spursmania]

And if FInley isn't having the best game of his career you are STILL down 30 fucking dumbass

Who's this NOOBER? EINSTEIN? What a NOOB:lol

[crc21209]

The Spurs, since the day TD set foot in San Antonio, have known that its all about ships. Fuck the Regular Season. We all know what this team is capable of in April, May, and June...when it really matters. We all went into last yrs. Playoffs somewhat nervous and unsure, but once again our team stepped up for us and got our asses into the WCF's and if Manu hadnt gotten hurt who knows? We might have picked up a 5th LOB trophy last year. If its one thing I know...it's to NEVER underestimate this team. :flag:

One thing is for sure, if Duncan and Parker doesn't show up then this game is indeed over. Both have played horribly. On one hand, the Spurs need to hit some 3s or else Tony won't get any looks but run him offf some screens for jumpers if you have to. Duncan, on the other hand, just needs to abuse whoever he has on him on the block. N one on the Lakers should be able to D him up without help. No one.

I was sure that bonner and mason would struggle tonight but damn having both duncan and parker having a bad night too... it's going to be hard to get a win. It's shocking that they are still in the game..

You fucking throw in the TOWEL.

NO FUCKING WAY I AM THROWING IN THE TOWEL.
I agree with you..but you need to watch the game a little closer. You keep bagging on Fin Dog and he's the only one scoring.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It'd be nice to see Pop come up with a way to get the Lakers D off of Parker's ass before Tim retires. Just sayin'....

[ploto]

I love Grant Hill. :)

[HarlemHeat37]

we actually look like the Cavs when LA blew them out..they couldn't do anything on offense, including Lebron..looks the same tonight..

[Spursmania]

Wow...thanks...a good post from Laker fan..

Yeah, they don't come around to often as is exemplified by the mental midget NOOB milkabella.:toast

[NRHector]

Throw the towel? It's only halftime...Is only half time and the starters aren't doing anything, so when is manu coming back? he is the spark of this team, TP and TD don't have the killing instinct in this game they are supposed to show up in a game like this and kick ass

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

i don't care if anybody bashes the spurs, we deserve all the hate..horrible effort, horrible decision making, horrible performances so far by our 2 star players..

We're gonna have to hope the lakers bench lets us back in the game..

Refs haven't been a problem at all..they're outplaying us, that's it..

The same could be said of overestimating them as well.

[outmap]

Suns arent making the playoffs buddy, and we want the Blazers.

We want you too! (-Rudy "Daboy" Fernandez)

[Borosai]

If it weren't for Finley, the Spurs would be losing by double-double digits.

Gooden will save the day.

[Spursfan092120]

Well..Gooden put a little spark in the Spurs asses..maybe he'll do a little something for us.

[Ice009]

Start Gooden and get Hill some court time.

Hill is showing balls and confidence out there. Tony and Michael Finley are freezing Hill out of offense though. it's like they don't want to pass to him. News flash TP Hill is not afraid to shoot against the Lakers unlike yourself.

[MannyIsGod]

I was sure that bonner and mason would struggle tonight but damn having both duncan and parker having a bad night too... it's going to be hard to get a win. It's shocking that they are still in the game..

This game isn't on Mason and Bonner. While neither has played well, the fact is that Duncan, Parker, and Pop have the lionshare of the blame. Mason was forced to be the focal point of the offense at one point because he was on the court with Thomas, Udoka, Bowen, and Oberto. Thats a horrible fucking position to put him in and Pop should have known better. When your struggling so much from the offensive end of the court you do NOT go to that lineup.

I mean wtf @ playing Oberto.

Shut up noob and go home with your cowardice.

[Spursmania]

We need Tony to get out of his funk. And Timmy to be more aggressive since he knows he's not gonna get calls. So, he needs to take it to Pau.

[crc21209]

When your 3 best offensive players (TP, TD, and Mason) are ALL having a bad night in the same game....it's not going to be good. Hopefully they can turn it around in the 2nd half.

[TampaDude]

I said it before and I'll say it again. Spurs will win by 5. Book it.

[Ice009]

I agree with you..but you need to watch the game a little closer. You keep bagging on Fin Dog and he's the only one scoring.

I missed the whole first quarter. I said in another post "From what I have watched so far"

I've only seen Finley make 1 shot. I apologize for calling him out.

[MannyIsGod]

Starting Gooden is bad. The Spurs need a few Bonner 3s to spread that court. Thats their most likely route to victory. If you're going to reley on big minutes from Gooden to get this team a win then you're right to write off tonight.

[Capt Bringdown]

The Spurs, since the day TD set foot in San Antonio, have known that its all about ships.
What's TD's playoff record against PJ and the Lakes? It ain't pretty. You gotta go thru LA to win titles and the Spurs don't have an answer.

The Spurs have a lot to prove against the Lakers and time is running out.

[tomtom]

God damn that was a horrible half. Who woulda thought Finley would be the one keeping us afloat

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, Manny and I on the same page about Pop's decision making tonight :wow

[Pentagruel]

I can't believe some people think this game is over already. We have a whole half to go. If Tony Parker starts hitting some shots and the role players keep playing as they are then I think we can get back in this game. Mason and TD are also playing poorly but I think they are less important to the Spurs offense which is what is letting them down most.

Tony more then ever this season runs the offense and when he is off we tend to lose. Let's hope he turns up his intensity in the second and the Lakers cool off a bit on those jumpers (and we can close out a bit better too heh...).

[Duncanoypi]

I love Grant Hill. :)

What's up with Timmy? I wonder if his knee is killing him or the Lakers are just playing damn good defense on him?

[NRHector]

Shut up noob and go home with your cowardice.
I can't I'm already at home and is not cowardice is facing the reality. How many points TIm and Tony have right now?

[Quiet Strength]

The blame is for sure on pop and parker. I noticed several times that parker had the ball either mason or bonner was open and he never even noticed because he was looking to shoot instead of pass. Thats something I think pop tells him to do and its annoying. I wish he would get his team mates involved in the game. The spurs play so much better when he's passing more.

[crc21209]

Alright guys let's do this damn it.

[HarlemHeat37]

I said Duncan should be aggressive before the game, I even went into detail..but after watching him the first half, I don't think he can be aggressive and sustain it..he looks like he has no confidence right now..

I don't think it's a physical thing, because he's been getting rebounds and moving fairly well on D..he looks like he's lacking confidence in his knee offensively..I don't know if he can step up and carry us in this game..

Tony has had games where he turns it around though, so maybe this will be one of them..that J that hit the side of the backboard was just embarrassing though, sums the game up well for me..

[Chomag]

It's not going to happen if our big 2 can't get their foot out of their ass, but if the come Strong and bring it in the second half there is a definite chance.

[TheManFromAcme]

Wow...thanks...a good post from Laker fan..

No prob. Can't stand the Spurs but hey,.....There 2nd in the west for a reason. I just hope Lamar plays the way he's playing. BTW, Gooden looks pretty good.:toast

+ 1,000,000

Its shit like this that has me saying WTF Pop....Like seriously, that had to be the worst coaching move I have ever seen. Phil owns Pop and Tony

Pop does not have Duncan to lean on anymore, because he is hurt and older.

[21_Blessings]

I expected more from SA. You can literally hear their window creaking shut.

[HarlemHeat37]

I disagree that we need Bonner to stretch out the offense..it would help, but Bonner is streaky as fuck, he doesn't usually recover from starts like these..he needs to get in a rhythm first, and he's been horrible so far..I don't see the point of having him on the floor, he's scared of ODom..

[Quiet Strength]

What's up with Timmy? I wonder if his knee is killing him or the Lakers are just playing damn good defense on him?

The lakers are playing strong defense on him and timmy is frustrated... he plays awful when he is frustrated

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn Finley!

[ScuderiaSpur]

Findawg !!!

[TampaDude]

Finley is on FYYYYYAAAAAH!!!!!

[Spursfan092120]

No prob. Can't stand the Spurs but hey,.....There 2nd in the west for a reason. I just hope Lamar plays the way he's playing. BTW, Gooden looks pretty good.:toast
Yeah..he's doing well...Odom is looking much smarter this game than last.

[Josepatches_]

19 Fin
3 by Bonner

[Pentagruel]

Bonner is making me very sad yeah... Should just leave him on the bench imo. But I repeat, all the Spurs need is for Parker to pick up his game offensively in the second half and I think we will have a shot at it.

[ScuderiaSpur]

Bonner Bounce!!

[Spurologist]

Bonnnnnnnnnnnerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
