Lakers vs Spurs

[rhyputa]

Congrats. I like Duncan, he's amazing.

[DPG21920]

Kobe played Duncan's season average. I guess we can say the Spurs are struggling this year because Tim has not played.

[cobbler]

Good win Spurs! *tip o the hat*

Duncan and TP played well. Drew held his own and showed some nice moves. Laker defense is larthargic.

[PGDynasty24]

I give the spurs credit and say great win and they still find a way to trash the lakers. Hmmm

[FkLA]

How tall is Andrew Bynum, mothafucker completely towers over Timmy and is able to get his shot over him like nothing.

[DPG21920]

How is giving a back-handed compliment and then Spurs fans saying Kobe played TD's season average trashing the Lakers? Hmmmmmm

[iggypop123]

i dont care about pride, im just happy we left without catastrophic injuries

[Fpoonsie]

Let's see if we can follow it up w/ a W over problematic OKC tomorrow...

[Strike]

How much shit have Spurs fans been fed regarding the playoffs last year when the Spurs had no Ginobili and a hobbled Duncan? Hmmm.

[FkLA]

I give the spurs credit and say great win and they still find a way to trash the lakers. Hmmm

You compliment was the equivalent of someone saying no Manu for Spurs, no Yao for Rockets, no Nelson for Magic, and no KG for Celtics but you still won the 2009 title. Congrats Lakers.

[pawe]

When Gasol is playing, Bynum gets neutralized. Shannon Brown is athletic as hell and he is a great spark for the Laker bench.

[Fpoonsie]

My response may be SOMEwhat instigated by D&C's ramblings in the game thread. I dunno...

But after sayin "No Kobe" when he played for 3 quarters and is famous for playing with/through injuries, the props seem, as DPG stated, a bit disingenuous.

[DPG21920]

The thread title is "Proud of the Lakers" not "congrats spurs"

[PGDynasty24]

And in my 1st post said I said "Good Game Spurs"

[sexinthatsx]

NBA YAHOO PAGE:

Main Title: Man Down
Main Caption: The Lakers lost another road game. They also lost Kobe Bryant. With Bryant leaving with back spasms, the Spurs rolled.

The spurs would've still rolled with Pau Gasol out. They're giving 24 too much credit than he really deserves...

[nbaman99]

No question, lakers play good, specially without kobe in 4th. He was there on the 3rd, even if he didn't make shots, its still counts because he runs the floor, but Spurs came out to win this game from the start, period. They did what they came out to do. So good job lakers, but Go Spurs Go.

[PGDynasty24]

why do you care? you won,why do you worry about what some random columnist said. You guys beat us

[The Franchise]

And in my 1st post said I said "Good Game Spurs"

Only after you made an excuse for the loss. :lol

[Banzai]

lol another Kobe thread.

[namlook]

Its a regular season game. Who cares what someone wrote. Lets see what happens in the playoffs .

[PGDynasty24]

Only after you made an excuse for the loss. :lol

I didn't make an excuse. I just said I was happy about how the bench played against the Spurs starters. Relax Brah

[Ice009]

u think kobe was playing in the 3rd qtr? he didn't take a shot. he looked like a zombie

True, but if Kobe were healthy he would not have given the ball to anyone else and might have shot you out of the game sooner. Edit : I don't want to talk trash at all though as with Kobe out there he may have taken more shots and gotten you into the game again. It can go both ways with him. Personally I don't think it's the right way to play, but if anyone can do it Kobe can.

You are right though I have never seen Kobe that lifeless out there before. Is his body breaking down you think?

[My Fault]

DEFENDING NBA CHAMPS.

And unlike the pathetic Spurs the Laker franchise knows how to defend titles.
When your insecure about something you can't control its obvious you fail at life. Talk about pathetic :lol

[j.dizzle]

All you fuckin losers need to stop starting 400 threads everytime the lakers lose..cheers on the win

[ElNono]

Good game Lakers. I'm proud of my Spurs too, because this game had choke/letdown written all over it after Kobe went to the locker room.

I'm also glad we didn't make Shanon Brown look like Lebron.

Hopefully we'll face off healthy when it matters. Enjoy beating Dallas tomorrow :toast

[FkLA]

The Mavs are who we thought they were and we let them off the hook. Thankfully Spurs took care of biz tonight. For 7 of those 8 quarters the Spurs looked very much like one of the top teams. Obviously winning both wouldve been ideal but either way strides are being made in the right direction.

[The Franchise]

No kobe. No Pau.But you fought. Good Game Spurs.

I'm sorry but this sounds like an excuse. :lol

[Strike]

I'm sorry but this sounds like an excuse. :lol

From a Lakers fan? :wow

[mystargtr34]

I was on shitft last night and just got back... see the Spurs won by 20... and Spurs fans are surprisingly reserved... almost disappointed with the performance... :lol I cant comment too much until i watch the replay..No Pau... so obviously takes alot of the gloss off the win but a good win nonetheless..

Lakers need to get healthy

[ezau]

Though we won, the offense was pretty streaky and we had tons of turnovers in the 3rd quarter. What really salvaged us what the bench play, which the Lakers struggled to keep up with. Finally, we won against a +500 team and it feels good. However, the Spurs still have a lot of work ahead of them. Meanwhile, props to the Lakers for the huge comeback and giving it their all in spite of being saddled with injuries. Great game for both teams

[DazedAndConfused]

I just don't see this Spur team beating a fully healthy Laker team in a 7 game series.

Also I love how when they bring up Gaysol being out Laker fan doesnt take into account the fact that if he was in there Bynum turns into a 10 ppg 5 rpg player. Kobe played 32 minutes, Spurs were up by 14 at the half and by 22 in the third quarter.

Bynum did not at all win the match up :lol

I know you weren't asking me, but...

He occasionally DOES rush it a bit unnecessarily, but when he slows down, he can get any shot he wants, thanks to, not only his height, but his freakish length. It's almost unfair. As many have said, once he develops a solid post game, he's gonna be damn near unstoppable...

...unfortunately.

I aint proud of much..Lamar Odom is one of the biggest mismatches in the league but seems to disappear when you need him most. He needs to start driving to the rim like he used to. This is where not having a real PG hurts the team..Players need to step up & stop relying on Kobe & Pau to score half the points every game.

Did I just read that? Are you some kind of retard?

This statement is the prime reason Spurs fans don't want to listen to anything a Lakers fan has to say.

Even in a loss you're still blowing your own horn.

Bynum was not a factor on the defensive end. Tim dominated this game on both ends. That's why he one of the best of all time. Bynum had a great game offensively, but other than that he didn't dominate.

Against a younger Tim, Bynum would have totally been taken apart, still though Tim played a great game. If want Kobe to get some credit, how about giving it when it is deserved the other way?

[exstatic]

Props to Bynum he had a great game.

The Lakers better hope Kobe, Gasol, Artest, Bynum, and Odom are healthy for the post season because outside of those 5 the Lakers aren't very good.

I was just thinking that outside of Kobe, I don't like any of LA's guards. They all bring something to the table, but not usually more than one thing. LA's guards outside of Kobe are like SA's bigs outside of Duncan.

[TacoCabanaFajitas]

Its tough to feel bad about Lakers injuries when last year the same Laker fans were dismissing Ginobili's injuries and acting as if they beat a healthy Spurs team in 5 games. Better hope Gasol is able to get over his injuries by playoff team, you pricks get no sympathy here

[mystargtr34]

He played well..but I think he rushes his shots too much..what do you see?

Agree... he doesnt have the patience yet and alot of the time his moves are premediated too much. Most times its enough to get a clean look because of his sheer size and length.. and because of his touch he will score the majority of those. Guys like Hakeem and Duncan make a move, then if it gets blocked off or defended well, they have a counter move which they go to which gets them a good look.. sometimes Hakeem would use 3 or 4 of his counters for the sake of it :lol. Obviously it cant always be this way... sometimes when your going against a tough post defneder you have no choice but to premediate your moves .. in the hope of getting the defender just that little off balance to get a decent look at the basket.

Another thing... one thing he doesnt do enough of is crab dribble... despite being so long and lanky Bynun still has a really strong base so he really could get to his spot in the paint anytime he wanted and get an easier shot... even for a baby hook.. he often settles for a face up where he takes a hard dribble right then spins towards the middle for a hook shot - its still almost ungauradble, but he can get predictable. But even Duncan is guilty of going to a move too much... that stupid one dribble towards the middle and then throw up a fade away running hook when his defender is smothering him...

All this comes with time though hes still only 22.

true true. how much longer till he truly develops his game?

[mystargtr34]

true true. how much longer till he truly develops his game?

Hard to say... he's gonna continue to get better at making reads right throughout his career... but he probably doesnt 'fully' develop in terms of mental until 25 or 26. Duncan wasnt a great passer out of double teams until he was around that age.. maybe a little younger. Same with Shaq and Hakeem. The more touches he gets... the more the post game will become more natural to him aswell.

[Ice009]

Bynum's strong base is the key to low post domination. He has a way to go, but you can't teach his length or that base.


true true. how much longer till he truly develops his game?

You can never say. Everyone said that Dwight Howard would be a beast by now, but I wasn't so sure and now I think he is even regressing and getting worse. Strictly talking about low post skills here.

It's not easy being a great post player. You gotta work your ass off to get to Hakeem Olajuwon or Tim Duncan level. Most people never get there despite showing lots of potential.

Spurs just beating a team they're supposed to beat. No surprises here.

Dazed and Confused, go easy on whatever you're taking.

[Dunc n Dave]

Just got home from the game. Enjoyed giving the Laker fans hell all night. There was a whole group of them one section over that brought their championship banners (which I laughing pointed on to them that they were holding them backwards, typical of a Laker fan)with their hats all crooked like little wannabe gangstas. They were talking big shit early in the game when the Lakers went up 12 to 5, but once the Spurs built a 6-9 pt lead, it got real quiet over there.

Then, wouldn't you know it.. when the Lakers pull within 6-7pts in the 4th, they start talking shit again. One of them had their girlfriend with them that grabbed one of the banners and started yelling at us and pointing at it, like the bitch was on Jerry Springer or something. She sounded like a damn Chihuahua yapping the whole time.. and the guy she was with was wearing what looked to be a hand spray-painted white T-shirt that said Spurs Suck. Looked like something my 6 year old could make with puff paints. Of the course the guy hid it UNDER his Laker T-shirt while he and his crew took the long walk down the steps when the game was over, amidst the chorus of "Lakers suck" chants...

The younger kid with him (looked to be about 16) looked like his dog had died from midway through the 2nd quarter until the end of the game after talking big stuff early too, with his "MVP! MVP!" chants in the 1st quarter when Kobe was at the FT line.
We gave it right back to him after EVERY ONE of Kobe's 5 TURNOVERS, by chanting "MVP!" right back at him. Especially loved the George Hill steal on Kobe for the dunk. Kid pulled out his phone to pretend he couldn't hear us.

Damn, I love watching Laker fans leave the AT&T Center hanging their heads....

[NRHector]

The Lakers finally left the Staples center and is not a nice way to start their road trip oh well

[lennyalderette]

Meaningless game during a meaningless month of the basketball season. Whatever happens on Tues is irrelevant. San Antonio will inevitably be curb stomped by the Mavericks or Lakers in 5-6 or 4-5 games respectively come playoff time. Hell, OKC could probably beat SA in playoffs at this point.

Kobe is such a warrior. I wish Manu, Duncan and Parker were half the man that Kobe is.

He went out there, bruised and broken, and did everything he possibly could to lead his team to victory. I have never known a player to play through injuries...not like him anyway.

As long as everyone in the media and the stadium knows he's injuried...he'll continue to soldier on. And even though his hand is falling off, he still managed to shoot 7-10. Not to mention his life-threatening back injury. I would also like to thank him for staying until it got ugly. Thank you Kobe. You're a true American hero! :toast

That's nice and all, but has he ever used his spring break to give kids from the Philippines circumcisions? Until then, the only real answer is Tim Tebow. Or as I call him, Super Tebow.

No kobe. No Pau. But you fought. Good Game Spurs.

No Kobe...Come on the guy played 32 mins already by the time the 3rd quarter ended, meaning he only rested 4 mins the entire game up until he left for the whole 4th. :lol

[Spursmania]

Thanks X.

Duncan won't play too much against OKC, I believe. Maybe Ian will make his appearance at that game though.

[jag]

:lol

He played through a horrific knee/ankle/everything injury after George Hill stripped his ass. That's pretty heroic. I don't remember Tebow doing that.

[j.dizzle]

Bynum played well bust missed some easy shots that he usually makes. Duncan looks great & losing some weight made him a lot quicker..It seems like half of Tim's shots look so weird going up but you just know most of em will fall in somehow hahaa..Im happy about Andrew though, he seems like hes starting to play like he usually does in january..Hopefully he stays healthy (knock on wood) & plays just as hard when Pau returns..

[jag]

Bynum played well bust missed some easy shots that he usually makes.

He also made a lot of shots that he usually misses.

[Spursmania]

just change the name to the kobe forum

It's a bit much isn't it? :lol

[ezau]

Great win for the Spurs and this is what they need to get some real confidence boost. I'm just worried that Parker has platar fasciatis in his left foot though. He needs to rest and get ready for the playoffs

[j.dizzle]

Wish kobe was 100% today..He feasts on spurs players, especially manu hahaha I really hope they play each other in the post season..Fun matchup

[j.dizzle]

You guys dont get it..He played 32 min but he hurt his back so anything after that was just a guy who could hardly move cuz of spasms..No biggie though, good game..hopefully they'll meet up in the postseason, both healthy.

[JamStone]

Apparently Kobe fucked a lot of Spurs fans in the ass and didn't call them again for another "date."

What's up with all this shit?

[DazedAndConfused]

It's funny how Spur fans used to always say:

"Regular season doesn't mean shit. It's all about the playoffs"

And now that their team hasn't done jack shit in the playoffs for 2 straight seasons, including an embarrassing 1st round exit to of all teams the Dallas Mavericks, they have changed their tune and are talking shit after every regular season win.

Now I would somewhat understand it if the Spurs were able to take down a fully healthy Laker team. That might be worth getting excited about. But against a Gasol-less and barely functioning Kobe Laker team? Give me a break.

[j.dizzle]

:lol They just boasting since beating LA is pretty rare to their franchise..No surprises here.

[DazedAndConfused]

No Gasol.

They can hardly ever do it when it counts though. You know, in the playoffs.

I didn't realize it was a problem to give the guy his due respect.

Oh shittttt, ur telling me todays game wasn't a playoff game??? Damn I thought it was since theres like 700 different threads up :lol

[iggypop123]

like i said this is the kobe forum

[iggypop123]

if the lakers had made their shots and the spurs missed thiers the lakers would have won. lol

like i said this is kobetalk.com forum
fixed it hahaaha

didn't kobe claim a couple weeks ago that injuries just "dont affect him" ?

so?

[mystargtr34]

Oi Spurs fans why isn't Tony lighting it up like last season?

The team just released the news that he has Plantar Fascitis..

Been lacking speed and explosiveness all season.. he played for the French national team this past off season and really hasnt had a break for well over a year.

[BRHornet45]

They're giving 24 too much credit than he really deserves...

son they have given him credit that he hasn't deserved since his rookie season lol ... the dude is hands down the most overrated and over hyped ROLE player to EVER play in pro sports history.

[KidCongo]

Not good at all. At least he lit up the Lakers tonight in the 3rd Q :toast

Hey shutup.

Shitty news.. if Parker doesnt get back to his 20 and 7 100% play come playoff time then the Spurs cant beat the Lakers.

Doesnt matter how well everyone else is playing.

[TheMACHINE]

I was on shitft last night and just got back... see the Spurs won by 20... and Spurs fans are surprisingly reserved... almost disappointed with the performance... :lol I cant comment too much until i watch the replay..No Pau... so obviously takes alot of the gloss off the win but a good win nonetheless..

Lakers need to get healthy

Spurs fans are more reserved then usual in a win because the Lakers got within 6 points with 5 mins left.

[TheMACHINE]

sons, CP3 aint that bad.

[wijayas]

You had better hope Gasol gets back soon. Without Your MVP you guys aren't going anywhere.

:toast

[HarlemHeat37]

Not really..this always happens to the Spurs, it doesn't matter who the competition is..always get big leads and blow them..the fact that there was a 22-point lead with Kobe playing was nice to see though..

It's just another game, it really doesn't mean anything..the Lakers were missing their most valuable player, so we'll have to see how we match up with you guys when he plays..I don't like the chances, but maybe the Spurs will continue to improve, the talent is there..

Kobe not being there is irrelevant to me though..he played 32 minutes and the Lakers shot a better % from the field with Kobe out than they did when he was playing, so I don't think they would have played good enough to erase a 15-point lead..

Meaningless game..

[xellos88330]

He played well..but I think he rushes his shots too much..what do you see?

From what I saw of Bynum.

Bynum at times was like a black hole on offense. It seemed to me that he was trying to make more of a personal statement than help his team to victory. He looked quite selfish out there.

I noticed that every time Duncan scored on him, Bynum just HAD to keep taking shots to counter if the other Lakers gave him the ball in the post. I think he needs to work on his maturity and his rushing shots will minimize.

He did play pretty well. I finally got to see some 1v1 moves from him. Solid big, lots of physical tools. Not sure when he will reach his full potential, but when he does, the whole NBA will know it.

[redzero]

It's a bit much isn't it? :lol

Not really. Several Kobe threads are made everyday.

[sexinthatsx]

I'm glad with the win, but just a little disappointed the spurs didn't play the lakers at full health. I was thinking if anybody was going to bitch and whine about injuries, I'd pull the manu card on them

[rhyputa]

I merged a bunch of Kobe threads here... that was too much Kobe spread all over the forum.

Kobe fans & haters = 90% of the NBA fans

[Ice009]

Manu and Tony at times have played well below what they are capable of this season.

The Spurs at full health and playing up to their potential could most certainly beat the Lakers in one game that is. Lakers are the better team though. We still got lots of work to do before the playoffs.

Yeah... his 70% from the field obviously drug the team down to their 44%.

Ok agreed. :toast

[21_Blessings]

Meaningless game during a meaningless month of the basketball season. Whatever happens on Tues is irrelevant. San Antonio will inevitably be curb stomped by the Mavericks or Lakers in 5-6 or 4-5 games respectively come playoff time.

Lakers have no depth. They are only good when they play bad teams at home. They are soft

[TheManFromAcme]

Minus Ariza (who at last count probably weighed in at 200 Lbs) this is still the same team from last year who so happened to have beaten up one of if not the most physical team in the NBA....The Celtics.....twice. Unfortunately they didn't meet in the Finals but it was obvious the Lakers had moved up the ladder of being one of those physical teams.

They also contained one of the best big men in Dwight Howard. Now, what is your basis in calling them soft?

[Danny.Zhu]

Manu and Tony at times have played well below what they are capable of this season.

It makes you wonder if their capabilities you are familiar with are not longer there, just saying.

This is where you guys kill me. Kobe was hurt in the first and was not himself the whole game but it didn't matter because he played 32 minutes but when Manu played hurt in the playoffs, it was the number one excuse on why the Lakers won. :dizzy

Meaningless game with nothing on the line for the lakers. The spurs won. Congrats. :toast

I would like the lakers to sit Kobe for a couple of weeks, he's obviously having issues and wearing down from playing at a high level into June for the last couple of seasons. When going for 3 straight title appearances this is the toughest season as far as injuries and just plain boredom are concerned.

[Killakobe81]

Props to the Spurs they won No excuses given ...
I was just glad to see Bynum score pretty much anytime left 1 on 1 that bodes well for the Lakers if he can stay healthy ...

[Spursmania]

true true. how much longer till he truly develops his game?

I heard this summer he no longer wanted to work with Kareem. Is that still true or did they patch things up? I don't see how he wouldn't relish learning under one of the greats.

Is he lazy? He doesn't seem like he's always giving it his all. Maybe being second fiddle to Pau Gasol really bothers him.
