Game Blog: Spurs vs. Lakers - Jan. 12

[HarlemHeat37]

That Parker layup killed so much momentum..

Those types of plays are game changers most of the time..

Just don't blow the lead, come on..

[LA24]

get it down to 10 !!

[DPG21920]

Why do the Spurs keep bailing out Artest? He is so bad down low just take a charge or make him shoot it. Quit swiping.

[Spurs Brazil]

Lakers on a run since 'the layup'

[iggypop123]

with all the injuries tonight only 1 is good. sasha

[loveforthegame]

Like the Dallas game, Parker killed any momentum we had going.

[DPG21920]

Lakers on 10-2 run. See if Spurs can close out the quarter.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

i hate it when they play the happy and you know it song...it always seem to be an empty trip for the spurs

[carina_gino20]

:lmao @ Sean Elliott.

"Artest got a gift and he didn't even have to carry it up the stairs"

:lmao Refs trying to make it close.

[timvp]

Close out this quarter.

[HarlemHeat37]

Bogans is really killing us on offense..

[ezau]

here's the run. let's just maintain a double-digit lead and protect it until the end. Spurs need to show that they need this win more than the Lakers

[Refocus]

Bogans is shooting terrible this game lol.

[angelbelow]

Ouch

[Spurs Brazil]

There we go...

[biziofromdowntown]

terrible shot by Bogans

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

10-2 lakers run

[LA24]

still a 14 pt game...get it down to 10 by the end of the 3rd...and it may be a game

[Ice009]

Piss poor from bogans. Bench him. his offense is a killer.

[timtonymanu]

Bogans needs to take advantage of those, man.

[loveforthegame]

Bogans shooting lights out again.

[DPG21920]

Bogans with the air ball. Were up 22 now up 14. Have to keep a double digit lead. Spurs playing poorly after the first 3 minutes or so of this quarter. Too much fouling. RJ should be as aggressive as Artest. He is so much quicker.

[urunobili]

what bullshit call on Manu on the Artest block.. the refs swatting the momentum away from us... AND keeping the game within reach... :pctoss

[lefty]

Gasol is missing

Artest is hurting

Bogans is sucking

Manu is chucking

Duncan is beasting


Pop is fuming

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh thank god for the TO...

[LA24]

Lakers aren't rolling over yet...

[Admidave50]

Defense!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Oh for fucksake, wake up Spurs.

[timvp]

If Lakers are close, Kobe's going to go nucking futs in the fourth.

[Duncan21kid]

2 fouls followed by a airball... lets not get outscored this quarter

[bbarry]

That TP airball and WIDE open layup is gonna turn the tides in favor of the Lakers. Spurs gonna lose, calling it now.

[024]

spurs were going to cool off sooner or later. have to win this through defense, not offense.

[ffadicted]

Like the Dallas game, Parker killed any momentum we had going.

Fuck that parker was red hot at the start man. Everybody's off right now

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

How much do you want to bet that if the Lakers get it within ten Kobe starts "feeling better"

[biziofromdowntown]

Take a double digit lead to next quarter please...

[spurspokesman]

That Parker layup killed so much momentum..

Those types of plays are game changers most of the time..

Just don't blow the lead, come on..
This 1 is far from done. We've been notorious for blowing leads lately

[ElNono]

Lakers doubling Tim now... They're also not going to the bench so Pop is not going with Mason yet...

[loveforthegame]

If Lakers are close, Kobe's going to go nucking futs in the fourth.

Exactly. It has the potential to be the Dallas game all over again.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs, realize that this Laker team is resilient. Fuckin show up right now!

[DAF86]

Money Mason time

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

last 7 mins points for the lakers came from artest FTs and bynum post ups

[DPG21920]

Bogans with the air ball. Were up 22 now up 14. Have to keep a double digit lead. Spurs playing poorly after the first 3 minutes or so of this quarter. Too much fouling. RJ should be as aggressive as Artest. He is so much quicker.

WTF :lol Why am I typing like the thoughts that run through a coaches/players mind in split second?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs lost focus in 3rd qtr, Tony saved their ass.

[Spurs Brazil]

We must finish strong

[biziofromdowntown]

Put Theo in, grind D

[LA24]

Lakers gotta close out the 3rd strong if they want any chance at winning this game.

[TPnumber1]

Like the Dallas game, Parker killed any momentum we had going.

he made the momentum...., so he miss a very easy lay up... and what ? it 's 2 pts

[timvp]

Man rebound by TD.

[lefty]

Kobe with 55 pts in the 4th

[HarlemHeat37]

great D by RJ on Odom there..Lamar tried to get the contact and RJ avoided it at the end..

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

yess a stop

[blkroadrunners]

12 pt lead...

[DPG21920]

Bynum is owing Tim so bad.

[HarlemHeat37]

Duncan needs to start fronting Bynum..Bynum's too strong for Duncan at this point of his career..

[timvp]

Don't F this up.

[ffadicted]

Bynum = Duncan killer lol

[TPnumber1]

i'm ok with tony played very bad in the first half,but shut up on the 3rd quarter please...

[DPG21920]

Spurs going dead cold.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Mother fucker

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wow bynum nice touch

[HarlemHeat37]

meltdown time..THIS TRAIN'S NEVER LATE!..

[Death In June]

Duncan looks a bit tired

[LA24]

spurs going cold ?

[biziofromdowntown]

we r froze now

[hitmanyr2k]

Whenever Bynum isn't doubled he scores.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

everything is short...

[lefty]

RJ teasing Luke

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Thank you RJ!!!

[LA24]

Bynum, nice !!!

[DPG21920]

Great job Hill and RJ. Get a score here now and kill them.

[blkroadrunners]

George effin Hill...

[timvp]

Kobe travels. Blames his injuries.

[lefty]

spurs going old ?
Fixed it for Ya

[024]

jefferson stopping the bleeding.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh georgiee

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Hill!

[biziofromdowntown]

U r a drama Queen Kobe

[DPG21920]

LMAO at that non call.

[austN Spur]

nice D hill

[DPG21920]

Then the call that :lol

[spurspokesman]

Don't F this up.
Say it louder

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Stop fucking jumpshooting!

It's like the first 4 mins all over again!

[LA24]

LOL Kobe

[LA24]

Kobe's done for the day

[Death In June]

Refs have it out for Manu

[timvp]

Damn Pop give TD some rest.

[HarlemHeat37]

the Lakers 6th man, the refs, starting to show up..expect bad things in the 4th..

[ElNono]

You gotta be shittin me, refs

[Spurs Brazil]

4th on Manu

[ffadicted]

So are the refs trying to replicate the '08 western finals by taking manu out of the game, or what?

[loveforthegame]

4 fouls on Ginobli. Great.

[lefty]

I can't even imagine the officiating if we meet them in the playoffs

:flipoff

[dolacheck]

So anyone else feel like a call was made at halftime by Stern?

[DPG21920]

Mental mistake after mental mistake right now. Terrible clock mgmt.

[ace3g]

kobe going to the locker room

[austN Spur]

lakers 14-15 from the line

spurs 3-7 from the line

[LA24]

is manu's bald spot getting smaller ?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Bench time. Time to take this game out of reach.

[ace3g]

Spurs need to work on their inbound passes

[loveforthegame]

Is Pop playing Duncan big minutes tonight just to give him the night off tomorrow?

[HarlemHeat37]

wow..the SAME inbound mistake to end the 2nd happens again..

we're trying to be the Nuggets..

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

No more Kobe?

[DPG21920]

Another turnover for the Spurs at the end of a quarter. Not a good quarter for the Spurs. Should be up much more.

[timvp]

REMEMBER THE MAVS.

Don't fall victim to the drama queen and co.

[timtonymanu]

spurs lost the ball on a crucial play again.

[LA24]

No more Kobe?

I hope not.

[angelbelow]

damn sloppy 2nd half of the 3rd for us.

[biziofromdowntown]

Oh My Gosh.....we r kissed by luck now

[Death In June]

Duncan at 32 minutes already

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 12 after the 3rd

TD played the whole 1st and 3rd quarters

[LA24]

shit...that was a gimmie the lakers threw away

[pawe]

Damn, when can they get rid of those nasty TO habits.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are the only team I have ever seen that can get scorching hot like that and in the same quarter piss it all away by going cold. It is really amazing.

[LA24]

horrible fast break

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

is manu's bald spot getting smaller ?

Hair Club for Men?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great D by Ro Money.

[024]

rather than fight this out without gasol, jackson pulling kobe out as well to mind fuck with the spurs.

[urunobili]

the Lakers healthy would be having lunch with us :depressed

[blkroadrunners]

At least the Spurs have a double-digit lead. Wonder if Kobe will come back the 2nd time...

[pawe]

This is it, 4th qtr. Where the rubber meets the road.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

after once up by 22 in the third, the spurs lead is now 12 going to 4th...the spurs hot shooting had cool off..hope the bench can help us a bit in the start of the 4th

[biziofromdowntown]

Spurs are the only team I have ever seen that can get scorching hot like that and in the same quarter piss it all away by going cold. It is really amazing.

we r special

[ElNono]

is manu's bald spot getting smaller ?

Rogaine FTW :lol

[DPG21920]

As a matter of fact, that third quarter has soured me to the point I cannot enjoy any good they have done this entire game. A team trying to turn a corner cannot do that.

[hitmanyr2k]

Artest is undoubtedly the ugliest offensive player of all-time. His touch around the rim is just atrocious.

[lefty]

Duncan at 32 minutes already
In TD's case, it's 1 minute/year


No, wait....

[Ice009]

Kobe is a beast Lakers fans. Seeing him leave like that and still score tonight he is amazing. The only problem is that I think he's played team ball tonight only because he can't go.

I haven't given Kobe so much props in a season since 2001, 2002.

[benefactor]

Sloppy third...but we still have a 12 point lead. Keep grindin' fellas.

[timvp]

Get ready for the hard doubles on TD.

Hmmm ... maybe Pop played TD the whole third so he can force the role players to come ready to play to begin the fourth :smokin

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs are the only team I have ever seen that can get scorching hot like that and in the same quarter piss it all away by going cold. It is really amazing.

...and it all turned when TP missed the layup then Manu got called for a foul when he clearly blocked Artest cleanly.

Basketball certainly is about momentum.

[austN Spur]

Tim Legler " This is a team that fears the lakers, the lakers dont fear the spurs" what a **&^*

[iggypop123]

mbenga out there. game over

[Disturbed]

At least the Spurs have a double-digit lead. Wonder if Kobe will come back the 2nd time...

Im guessing he just went to get more treatment on his back. He wont miss the 4th its just not in him to sit whether its for the best or not.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Duncan at 32 minutes already

:nope

[spurspokesman]

Spurs need to work on their inbound passes

No. Mason need not inbound. He gave up both to s I believe. In the same fashion. Toward the opposing basket

[Ice009]

As a matter of fact, that third quarter has soured me to the point I cannot enjoy any good they have done this entire game. A team trying to turn a corner cannot do that.

Same here. I cannot believe that third quarter. How the fuck do you go so cold?

[Bambililos]

Sweet, Kobe discreetly going to take his drugs in the locker room.

Don't be surprised if he goes superman mode in the 4th with back spasms and a broken finger. Love the NBA.

[LA24]

dunno...think the spurs got this.

[pawe]

the Lakers healthy would be having lunch with us :depressed

Once the Spurs gel, they will beat the shit out of a healthy Laker squad.

[timvp]

TP needs to carry the offense.

[Death In June]

This lineup looks ...questionable.

[iggypop123]

not shocked to see a makeup call

[blkroadrunners]

Im guessing he just went to get more treatment on his back. He wont miss the 4th its just not in him to sit whether its for the best or not.

I wouldn't be suprised if he comes back, but it seems like it's something serious.

[LA24]

nervous time

[ffadicted]

Manu needs to carry the offense.

Fixed it for yah :smokin

[lefty]

Sweet, Kobe discreetly going to take his drugs in the locker room.

Don't be surprised if he goes superman mode in the 4th with back spasms and a broken finger. Love the NBA.
Reminds me of Jordan vs Portland in 92 or Atlanta in 93.


Or Pierce in game 1 of the 2008 Finals

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

RJ playing the 4..... :(

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

wheres manu

[LA24]

that was clean

[DPG21920]

RJ, Spurs, are you kidding me. This game has shown me nothing no matter the outcome.

[austN Spur]

nice job hill

[timvp]

How many fouls has Artest drawn this game?

[Ice009]

This team is full on mental weaklings. Can't hit free throws, turn the ball over, keep making mistake after mistake.

FUCKING HORRIBLE mental toughness.

[angelbelow]

Damn I havent seen RJ play well yet this half

[Spurs Brazil]

TOs killing us now

WAKE-UP

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

bullshiiiittt callll

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn Straight HILL

[hitmanyr2k]

R-Jeff is playing a very low IQ game.

[Duncan21kid]

Ah come on

[blkroadrunners]

T/O after T/O...

[biziofromdowntown]

Georgy is amazing tonight

[DPG21920]

Single digit lead and turn over happy.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Time out bitches

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

georgee!!!solid

[lefty]

TP needs to carry the offense.
Hell no...

[TheChillFactor]

i'm officially out on RJ. he just makes stupid, lazy plays. how the fuck are we going to win with this dumbass?

[024]

lol turnovers.

[Brazil]

since when artest is shooting 100% FTs ?

[Ice009]

WHAT A joke another TO.

Mental weaklings.

[resistanze]

:lmao those guys are idiots.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Lol turnover

[loveforthegame]

Stupid turnovers. :td

[SpurCharger]

FUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop the Turnovers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timvp]

Put Manu in.

[angelbelow]

wtf

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker SUCKS

[boutons_deux]

Spurs falling apart, can't shoot, TOs, fuck fuck fuck

[Duncan21kid]

Fuck you parker

[lefty]

Dice WTF
Take it to the rim clock was winding down

[DPG21920]

Turn over again. 3 straight and it is a 7 point game.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

fcuk ball movement??

[Chieflion]

Fuck turnovers. Are the Spurs really that weak-minded?

[Ice009]

LOl RJ now. RETARDS.

[biziofromdowntown]

TP sucks

[hitmanyr2k]

Popovich...make sure to work on passing drills for next practice.

[resistanze]

Just put Timmy back in.

[bigdog]

What the fuck

[Sigz]

Where is Ian?

[pawe]

Call a timeout and cool the Lakers off!

[blkroadrunners]

They need to give TP the ball and let him go to work - Powell and Odom are defending the paint, and Farmar is guarding him.

[LA24]

9

[iggypop123]

LMAO. i wanted them to rest up. stupid laker bench

[urunobili]

I can't believe this... :depressed

[HarlemHeat37]

This is just embarrassing now..sloppy play by everybody and no defense against the Lakers scrubs..

The typical Spurs meltdown in the 2nd half..some things never change..

[Brazil]

fuck

[ffadicted]

Pop plays small ball, Lakers outscore spurs 20 - 5 in 9 minutes..... Pop, I love you man, but come on you can't be for real

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

oh fcuk

[timtonymanu]

what a weak team. Pop called that TO too late.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

No Kobe and No Gasol and the Lakers are making a comeback...

[benefactor]

Pop is just giving the lead away with his fucking micro ball lineup.

[lefty]

Parker you SOB

Airball, TO's

What's next, 360 dunk in your own basket?

[LA24]

Good Job lakers.

[timvp]

This year's Spurs team never makes anything easy.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

everything has changed since the missed TP wide fcuking open layup

[Admidave50]

WTF, YOU ARE FUCKING KIDDING ME!

Now Kobe is going to come back and owning us!

[Truckules]

Why do you do this Pop?

[TPnumber1]

his 1rst turnover...

[austN Spur]

damm what an ugly start to this quarter. Lets go Spurs

[NickiRasgo]

What the fuck!

[Shastafarian]

I've never been so close to just saying "fuck this" and stop supporting the Spurs before.

[LA24]

Beautiful.

[ezau]

here we go. this has the dallas game written all over it. The sad part is, Gasol isn't even here

[DAF86]

Link please.

[ElNono]

Smallball FTW... And Pop waits for 3 turnovers in a row to call a Timeout...

[bigdog]

I hate small ball. It's such bullshit.

[TPnumber1]

everything has changed since the missed TP wide fcuking open layup

big LOL

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

For fucksake. Show some fucking composure. What a joke.

[biziofromdowntown]

Let Hill run te offense, and take off TP

[neboat]

parker needs to learn how to pass....when RJ has Farmer on the post, you freaking pass it to RJ...instead TP turns it over.....fucking A man....

[PGDynasty24]

no kobe no gasol,on the road,and were in the game...hmmmm

[mfanatic]

I have NP with firing Pop in all honesty, you play Jefferson as the PF and Mason as the SF, you deserve to get fired.

[024]

pop wants it to be close so the spurs learn how to close out against a good team?

[Ice009]

I might stop watching this team. I am shocked and amazed.

Gutless pigs we have on this team.

TP, RJ, McDyess and fucking gutless bitches in crunch time situations. Lowest BBall IQ out there on the team.

[loveforthegame]

When will the Spurs start playing with some pride?

[FvckMavs]

Pop, WTF?

[Spurs Brazil]

Thank you Parker, killed our momentum against the Dallas and now this BS again tonight

Go fuck yourself and stop talking about being tired. You're tired because your stupid choice

[Rob123]

BASKETBALL IS A 48 MINUTE GAME.

WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GARBAGE PRODUCT BEING DISGUISED AS A BASKETBALL TEAM?


How in the world can anyone be this weak minded?

My little sister has a stronger will than these over paid pussies.

[LakerHater]

That thats how you blow a 22 point lead!!
:bang:bang

[biziofromdowntown]

Not another Dallas, not again...

[bigdog]

I'm sorry, but TP needs to get the fuck out of the game.

[timvp]

Don't panic and put TD in too early. Need him strong for the end.

[Death In June]

I'm digging this incarnation of the sliver dancers. Lots of butter faces last season.

[ceperez]

WooHoo! I love Spurs small ball!!

I love it even better without Ginobili!

[spurspokesman]

This is just embarrassing now..sloppy play by everybody and no defense against the Lakers scrubs..

The typical Spurs meltdown in the 2nd half..some things never change..
Like I said. Far from over

[HarlemHeat37]

Is this going to happen in EVERY game?..

we were up by 22 fucking points at one point..

something just happens to this team when we reach a lead like that..Parker missed a fucking wide open layup that he usually makes in his sleep and the Lakers have been on a streak since that..just little things like that show how something just happens to this team once we have a big lead..

[ezau]

jesus christ. seven-point lead with 9 minutes to go. The guys need to hold off this rally

[boutons_deux]

+22 to +7 with plenty time to swing it to -something

Come on, Spurs, show us again how you can snatch a loss from the jaws of victory.

[TPnumber1]

Thank you Parker, killed our momentum against the Dallas and now this BS again tonight

Go fuck yourself and stop talking about being tired. You're tired because your stupid choice

he kiss you too

[Spurs Brazil]

It was 71-49

DAMN

[iggypop123]

walton? desperate times

[Chieflion]

Tony Parker and 1!

[DPG21920]

Spurs with another TO and lucky to get it back. This game has shown more bad than good.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Luke Walton :lol

[biziofromdowntown]

Ginobili saves

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

thank god manu

[Whisky Dog]

Why the he'll did they not get a TO and regroup after the 2nd straight turnover? They waited til 4 in a row?

They saw Kobe go out and decided to stop playing. Should have gotten Ian some burn.

[ace3g]

Parker back to attacking and not over dribbling

[Whisky Dog]

Why the he'll did they not get a TO and regroup after the 2nd straight turnover? They waited til 4 in a row?

They saw Kobe go out and decided to stop playing. Should have gotten Ian some burn.

[Chieflion]

Tony is on a roll. Forget my last statement.

[LA24]

shit...back to double digit
