Congrats Lakers

[ElNono]

Beat us fair and square...
You're just the better team right now... :toast

[SAtown]

They looked great without Kobe tonight. Who woulda thought...

[Banzai]

Spurs stay close..but I can't understand why Jefferson is playing like shit. Can the Spurs delete him?

Wish there was an "undo trade" button IRL :(

[SAtown]

They can delete him, or Pop can just take him out of the game, which is an insane idea to Pop

[lil_penny]

lakers have looked solid.

[Chieflion]

2-0 without Kobe. ROFL Lakers. ROFL Spurs. ROFL Gasol 21-19-8-5.

[ffadicted]

Dick has been so limp it's not even funny anymore. This is no slump, he just doesn't fit.

truth

[mardigan]

Dick has been so limp it's not even funny anymore. This is no slump, he just doesn't fit.

I dont know if I have ever seen a player who fit so bad into a system. I've hoped he was just working out some kinks, but he looks broken out there.

[sabar]

Finley needs to start over RJ.

[timtonymanu]

Dick needs to go. Pop needs to get over himself.

[Fpoonsie]

I simply don't understand why he CONTINUED to play the guy. Once a player makes a mistake, Pop would usually take him out w/ tha quickness.

Dick must give some MEAN fellatio.

[cobbler]

2-0 without Kobe. ROFL Lakers. ROFL Spurs. ROFL Gasol 21-19-8-5.

If that was Kobe you would have been all over the ...it took him 20 shots to score 21 point inefficiency rant

[Quit Hatin']

thank you for your respect. kobe can take it off and come back after the allstar break and we will still be in good shape to finish the season strong. remember we are still the defending champs and we still the team to beat. charles barkley was saying everything goes through LA and he is right. to keep it going we need to do a lil shake up. bench bynum and give him some burn with the second unit. pau, odom, artest, kobe, fisher starting lineup would start games strong and finish strong.

[Chieflion]

You know why? That's because he doesn't do anything but score. Gasol rebounds, assists, and blocks shots.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

No shit Sherlock holmes, how did you figured that out?

[in2deep]

fuck that. all that's proven tonight is Spurs are the 8th-10th best team in the West

[rayray2k8]

Nice going Laker fans.
At least one of the coaches knows what he's doing. :rolleyes
Don't worry about the spurs. The Nuggets should give you the most problem.
We aint winning shit with this roster or coach. :td

Fuck jefferson
Fuck Pop
Fuck Parkers Plater-whatever
Fuck small ball
See you next year.

Duncan, you deserve better.

[hhml]

Good game by the heroes in gold tonight. Odom had a good game again and Pau, even though he didn't shoot well (missed a bunch of bunnies lately for whatever reason), had a very good game all around with not just offense, but defense and rebounding as well. He did everything we needed. Good game by our guards again and good team play all around.

[cobbler]

You know why? That's because he doesn't do anything but score. Gasol rebounds, assists, and blocks shots.

Then how do you exlain that Kobe has lead the team in assists and steals for most his career? Go figure. :lol

I want Odom to play like this every game. Lakers are unstoppable when he is playing this well. Pisses me off that he doesn't, though.

[hater]

I think everyone except Pop realizes that benching RJ for the rest of the season would benefit the Spurs in the short and long run

[Allanon]

Good Game Spurs. Can't win 'em all. :toast

[Chieflion]

Then how do you exlain that Kobe has lead the team in assists and steals for most his career? Go figure. :lol
You know why? Cause a player can gamble for a steal. As for the assist, just because Kobe holds the ball more, he needs to get bailed out so he passes the ball when he gets trapped.

[TheMACHINE]

damn 11-10 on the road...20 road games to go....wow.

btw...lol at Blair guarding Gasol...

[Killakobe81]

Great win - Lakers
demoralizing loss Spurs ...I thought they would win ...

[cobbler]

You said he did nothing else but score... I showed you otherwise. Move along...

[hhml]

Odom is an enigma. For all the talents he has, he is unable to put together any sort of consistency. I don't think anyone can figure him out. When he's on and playing well Lakers are unstoppable but the problem is, he will give you a stretch of games like these and then disappear the next few. I guess we'll just have to live with it. This team is full of inconsistency anyway.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

He gets lost for a couple of games. Then decides to show up. I would actually like to see him start and have Bynum come off the bench.

[Fpoonsie]

Good Game Spurs. Can't win 'em all. :toast

Sure would be nice to win at least 1.

[Chieflion]

You said he did nothing else but score... I showed you otherwise. Move along...
Still a selfish player. Just move along. Your broguht up Kobe's ineffiency in the 1st place.

[IronMexican]

Just be cool if he had more games like today and Saturday vs Portland. That interview on KCAL after the Portland game was great. It's like he can't stare into the camera or something.

[hhml]

Odom's interviews are always awkward. He always stares around when he talks lol.

[j.dizzle]

Sons, these last 2 games tell me 2 things..The players are lazier with kobe playing cuz they expect him to score 30-40 a night & that LO is a muchhhh better as a starter over Drew..Andrew is great when he gets his touches but LO just makes shit run smoother.

[midnightpulp]

Great win - Lakers
demoralizing loss Spurs ...I thought they would win ...

Not really a demoralizing loss. Most of us Spurs fans figured this outcome.

They been limp all year against better teams. I'm glad they lost. If they would've won that might've deluded the front office into thinking that there isn't any fundamental problems with this team, thus convincing them that no trades or other moves are necessary.

First move of the day is that Pop needs to quit throwing out small ball lineups.

[holcs50]

Spurs are in shambles.

Its not just Dick dickhead faggetson.

There's no emotion, it looks like no one even want to be out there and that no one even communicates to each other on the court. No energy, and no chemistry. Spurs are in deep shit, I see only struggles the rest of the year and honestly i'd rather them miss the playoffs if they're going to just squeeze in by playing like the shit they displayed tonight.

Only good thing i guess next year is dickhead is an expiring contract so he probably will be easy to trade to some team during the year who wants to dump salary. Fuck you dick, you soft pos that sounds like you sucked helium out of a massive balloon-from a fellow UA alumni

[mystargtr34]

Pau Gasol bitches

21-19-8-5

Dude is easily a top 10er

[hhml]

I hope Kobe sits out the next game and the ASG as well. Gasol too if possible. Maybe his hamstring is bothering him...might explain his missing a bunch of those easy shots he usually makes.

21/19/8/5 on 46 minutes. The guy practically played the entire game (wish he'd gotten the triple doubles). He's had very little rest and we're going to need him and Kobe as healthy as possible come playoff.

[Allanon]

I bash on Gasoft as much as anybody but he showed up strong in the second half.

[mystargtr34]

You said he did nothing else but score... I showed you otherwise. Move along...

Kobe takes about twice as many possessions as Pau, and he is a guard, but only averages roughly over 1 assist more. As great as Kobe is, he takes way too many possessions for his efficiency, and Pau doesnt get it enough, particularly when you consider his efficiency.

22+ FGA can fly when you have guys like Smush and Walton starting, but not when you have one of the deepest and most talented teams in the modern era, and a top 10 player in the NBA next to you, thats too many.

[TheMACHINE]

glad to see the manu-stopper show up ;)

[mystargtr34]

Anyway about the loss tonight, i dont take too much out of it when a team is missing two of its three best players - the situation and gamestyle becomes so difference, especially when a guy like Kobe is out - it isnt as simple as saying you add Kobe + Bynum and the performance gets better linearly. Same thing applies for the first encounter which the Spurs won, Pau being out is equally huge. So, i dont think these two games have told us much in terms of the Spurs-Lakers matchup in particular..

Having said all that, 99% of Spursfans will tell you that when everybody is healthy, the Lakers are about 2 levels above the Spurs, and the series probably goes 5 games.

[DazedAndConfused]

Nothing to gloat about here. The Spurs aren't a very good team right now.

Richard Jefferson is an absolutely awful fit for them. It might be the worst trade of the offseason.

[TheMACHINE]

manu couldnt stop TheMachine either. haha

[TheMACHINE]

Right because Sasha's 8 points were the reason the Lakers won:toast

Still doesnt change the fact that he couldnt stop him either. If you ask every spurs fan on this board, the Lakers run started with Sasha's 3 that ended the first quarter. :toast

[Def Rowe]

Spurs are in shambles.

Its not just Dick dickhead faggetson.

Around half way through the 3rd is when I noticed that too. Then Pop took a timeout to remind his players there was still plenty of time left in the game. They looked defeated there... kind of needless too when there was still lots of time left in the ball game.

[Def Rowe]

That was probably Sasha best game in a year or so.

[Budkin]

I was honestly really impressed with the Lakers tonight... it's nice to a see a team with role players that step up and play with energy and drive. Props.

[TheMACHINE]

There is always runs in basketball games. The game was over when Pop played 6 feet 6 inch Blair as our center. :toast

hell yah man...when i saw blair standing next to gasol, blair was like up to gasol's chin. lol

[cobbler]

Still a selfish player. Just move along. Your broguht up Kobe's ineffiency in the 1st place.

Nope...I pointed out Gasols.

And you are correct ... it's awfully selfish raking in the LOB's.

[cobbler]

Just be cool if he had more games like today and Saturday vs Portland. That interview on KCAL after the Portland game was great. It's like he can't stare into the camera or something.

He's insecure. Cannot look you in the eyes. He has always been that way. You are correct though. When Lamar is on, the Lakers are practically unbeatable. He is the X factor for sure.

[z0sa]

Props to the Lakers... I'm not a big Kobe or Bynum fan, but both of those guys were out.. :lol:toast

[Brazil]

sad truth: the kobe less lakers would have more chances to win it all than a fully healthy spurs team.

[TheManFromAcme]

Odom played great, because he wanted to take the spot light away from Reggie Bush. He must have been hearing shit from his horse of wife, about Reggie being a Super bowl champ, etc...he did what he had to do..to keep that rhino off has back and save face in that crazy family:toast

:lol

[Chieflion]

And you are correct ... it's awfully selfish raking in the LOB's.
So you admit Kobe is inefficient. LOL at raking in the LOBs. He is not winning the championship this year.

[BlackSwordsMan]

pop needs to pull the rubber dick out and sit him on the dress drawer

[BRHornet45]

sons I must give props to the Lakers as well. now that their ball hogging, selfish, team cancer is out of the picture they are playing excellent basketball and actually look like a team having fun and not just going thru the motions. the ball movement from them over the last 3 games has been outstanding. Gasol has been an awesome team leader for those guys ever since coming to L.A..
