Lakers @ Spurs Game Thread

[Muser]

Novak needs to go for 30.

[benefactor]

Bonner with the stand and watch...per usual.

[resistanze]

Bonner has to be the biggest frontrunner in the NBA.

[hitmanyr2k]

Game over. Popovich is going to start the 2nd half with the bench. What a disappointing 2nd game. At least the Bulls/Heat lived up to the hype.

[#41 Shoot Em Up]

You idiot, he didnt want to get a T

Yeah you're right, in a 24 point game that would really matter :lol

[Muser]

Please sit Bonners ass down.

[lefty]

Novak?
Bonner?

Celtics?

[Mike D]

Even as a Lakers fan, I'm a bit shocked by how this first half has gone.

[ohmwrecker]

lol Phil's big chair

[Killakobe81]

Kobe, Pau, Fisher Odom went HAM on these Spurs in the first half ...

As long as we tie them in the 3rd quarter then the game will be over ...

[Mav-elous Man]

LAL 65 SAS 37. Good Gawd SA sucks!!! Unimpressed.

[Mike D]

Bonner has to be the biggest frontrunner in the NBA.

I raise you Eddie House, Mo Williams, and Jamario Moon.

[MavFan6488]

wow. 65-37????? i knew the lakers were better than the spurs but not by that margin...

[Muser]

At least it wasn't 30 +.

[namlook]

Van Gundy sounds like a bitch. Shaq used to get pounded and fouled hard on the regular and he RARELY lost his mind like Dwight Howard.

Sure he did. Brad Miller would probably still be in a coma if Shaq had connected.

[resistanze]

I raise you Eddie House, Mo Williams, and Jamario Moon.

But I don't think anyone's jumper in the NBA instantly turns to fried shit like Bonner whenever shit gets real.

[Hemotivo]

"Elbowed him to send a message"

:lmao

:lol

[Fpoonsie]

Ugh. I expected a letdown after Fri's game, but not to this extent.

LA coming out on a mission, and SA looks ridiculously flat.

:depressed

[hitmanyr2k]

Sure he did. Brad Miller would probably still be in a coma if Shaq had connected.

That's where the "RARELY" part comes in. And let's be honest. Brad Miller and Oakley were laying the wood on Shaq trying to provoke him :lol I remember that game because it was against the Bulls. Dwight acts like guys shouldn't hold his arm to prevent the "and 1". Korver didn't try to pull him down or anything.

[Donkeybong]

Reggie Miller stepped to Kobe.....and won :lol Kobe is sneaky with cheapshots but he hasn't fared well in fights lol.

Talking about cheap shots. Reggie just charged him into to stands while Kobe was just talking.

[hitmanyr2k]

Media turning on the Heat....no pun :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Talking about cheap shots. Reggie just charged him into to stands while Kobe was just talking.

No he didn't :lol Miller stepped to Kobe. Kobe swung and missed and Reggie "98 pounds soak and wet" tackled Kobe's ass into the scorer's table and probably would have put the beatdown on him if teammates hadn't stepped in.

[midnightpulp]

Good game, Lakers fans.

[Beau]

Stuart Scott and Jon Barry just diddled each other.

True story...

[namlook]

The hard fouls are Shaq were a big issue at the time. He was getting fouled above the shoulders on a regular basis. Those types of fouls were called flagrant on other players but never when it was against Shaq. Shaq said if it continued he would hurt someone. Same thing will happen with Dwight if the refs don't start calling some flagrants.

[Beau]

I love me that Ron-ron, by the by. Nothing like a little WWF-style showmanship.

[Mike D]

Good finish Drew.

That's the thing though. Korver didn't flagrant foul him. He simply held his arm with no malice whatsoever. There was no need for Dwight to lose it. Oakley and Miller are some dirty MFs. Trust me, I know since they were on my team at the time and Oakley in particular loved to hit people :lol They were laying the wood on Shaq and it was only a matter of time before Shaq lost it. But Shaq usually took multiple hits in the paint that weren't called but he would rarely lose it and swing at a player.

[PGDynasty24]

That a boy artest,no mercy on the fans

I remember that Bulls game. It was getting ridiculous. I remember Brad Miller laughing after pretty much swiping at Shaqs head. They weren't even going for the ball anymore. They were just swiping away like he was a punching bag. Who blames Shaq for blowing up the way he did. The league finally started taking notice after that incident. Dwight is too nice to respond like that though.

[sribb43]

Fuckin' spurs fan :lol

[Muser]

At least I got Ron to laugh at :lol

[Muser]

:lmao :lmao

[MavFan6488]

that's a hell of a gif right there LOL artest

[Banzai]

That Artest moment is GIF material.

[Muser]

You're 2 quarters too late dick.

[Muser]

Duncan needs to man the fuck up

[mikeschy55]

Wait.... isnt' Manu supposed to be better than Kobe Bryant? What's happening!?!?

[4>0rings]

Get this yippity redneck faggot off my screen ABC.

[Muser]

This redneck is better than these ABC faggots.

[mikeschy55]

hmm.... maybe a 6-7 center isn't such a good idea for the playoffs after all.....

[Muser]

Duncan sucking some major ass smh.

i dont think that was blair. some spurs scrub

Breen, it's going too far? GTFO ... poor Heat!

Sup... showing my mug here after the vicious beatdown... congrats Lakeshow... came right out of the gates looking for blood

[crazylakerfan001]

o ya and whos that faggot behind the scorer's table, he is at every spurs game.

[crazylakerfan001]

lets go laker chants at the at&t center, nice supprt for your team.

If the Lakers are healthy... you have no answer for Drew. None! Your best and only hope is for a Mavs upset.

Lakers played great.

Spurs got too overconfident and the Lakers just wanted this more.

GG non bandwagoning Laker fans, you guys played better than us today. Next game should be more competitive.

Drew wasn't healthy the first two games? Is that the excuse you're running with? :lol

Having HCA is not something we've made up. It's right there when you look at the Lakeshow record in playoff series without HCA.

Lakers get the credit for coming out of the gates and treating this as a must win game, and the Spurs not matching the intensity.

And lol Gobbler @ regular season doesn't matter... looks like it mattered to your boys today...

Drew has been gradually getting stronger and more athletic as the year has progressed. The Lakers are a completely different team when hes healthy and active and you have seen it since the all star break.

It matters for one win in the win column and thats it. As I said all along, the Lakers are not worried about the Western conference HCA. It's the finals where it matters most. You and ezau are the ones creating thread after thread mocking the Lakers as if they have no chance going up against the Sprs without HCA. You saw today how simple it is to erase that in a quick 48 mins.

by the way... speaking of that vaunted HCA you harp on. Of the 24 playoff games played on your home court against the Lakers.... your Spurs are 10-14.

Barely 40% against the Lakers on your own floor. HCA! :lmao

[DazedAndConfused]

Not running your mouth anymore are you? Stupid faggot.

[Dunc n Dave]

Awesome display of dominance in the 1st half by the Lakers. They proved that when they are focused, they are still the team to beat in the West. Props for a big win.

Every Spur starter except Parker pussed out and were scared to drive the land thanks to Bynum's play. Duncan and Manu included...:depressed

[ElNono]

Drew has been gradually getting stronger and more athletic as the year has progressed. The Lakers are a completely different team when hes healthy and active and you have seen it since the all star break.

He's been healthy since way before. The Lakeshow just stringed some wins together and all of a sudden is all about Bynum, GMAFB... :lol

Just as easily is to beat the Lakeshow at Staples. Again, this is not made up stuff. It's been 6 years since the Lakeshow won a series without HCA. Up to them when the time comes to show they can do it.


by the way... speaking of that vaunted HCA you harp on. Of the 24 playoff games played on your home court against the Lakers.... your Spurs are 10-14.

Barely 40% against the Lakers on your own floor. HCA! :lmao

Bottom line is we're not as good as Friday, and we're not as bad as today.
Lakers get all the credit for walking in desperately looking for a win to give them validation and pulling a convincing performance. The Spurs get as much blame for not matching the intensity. Then again, there was only one team with something to prove out there, and that was the Lakers.

Lakers had a good game today, but this team doesn't scare anybody.

[ElNono]

:lmao about time you show up you little faggot.

Not running your mouth anymore are you? Stupid faggot.


Sup... showing my mug here after the vicious beatdown... congrats Lakeshow... came right out of the gates looking for blood

:lmao this little troll faggot talking about showing up, when he was completely MIA when the Lakers were dropping turd after turd...

[DazedAndConfused]

:lmao at delusional Spur fan.

This game clearly spelled out why your team has no chance against us come playoff time. HCA or not, it doesn't matter.

[cobbler]

He's been healthy since way before. The Lakeshow just stringed some wins together and all of a sudden is all about Bynum, GMAFB... :lol


Drew has been a slow moving sloth when it comes to recoveries and clearly has regained a step since the break and is making a huge difference in the D. You saw it. Deny it all you wish. Ron has also decided to join the team. Nothing we haven't told you was coming though.


Just as easily is to beat the Lakeshow at Staples. Again, this is not made up stuff. It's been 6 years since the Lakeshow won a series without HCA. Up to them when the time comes to show they can do it.

Well just as I showed you that history has proven the Lakers own the Spurs on their own floor to the tune of 14-10, the record at staples is a oh so much better 20-8. Good luck!

Prove what? Your own coach has said the records are meaningless and that the title goes through LA. SO what's to prove? THe Lakers are just gearing up and preparing down the stretch.

I should hope not. If it scares anyone then they are in the wrong profession. However, if you think the other teams and especially the Spurs aren't very very concerned about the Lakers length and Drews improvement with respect to their chances then nothing more needs to be said.

Please. I've watched plenty of Lakeshow games this season. The effort was certainly high up there today. And they get all the credit for that. Just don't come telling me about turning points. The Spurs deserve a lot of the blame of what happened today also.

Same coach that said this road trip was going to 'make or break' the season? That coach? :lol
This Lakeshow team wanted to show they can compete with us after losing twice. They've shown they can.

The Spurs are concerned about improving overall. We might not even play the Lakeshow so what's the point about thinking about them? We've done very well against the Lakeshow and the rest of the league throughout the year. One game isn't going to change any of that.

[cobbler]

Just like we have said all along... when the Lakers decide to turn it up... unbeatable. Of course they deserve a lot of blame. They quit after the first quarter.

He was talking in terms of staying in contention with the East records as that is the HCA that truly matters. Just PJ doing his annual motivation through the media buildup towards the playoffs. But yes, the Lakers most definetly wanted to send a message after they let the Spurs squeek out a tip in victory at Staples. It was delivered quite well.

Stay classy Dunc ... there is too few of you guys that can admit you were bettered today by a better team. Spurs have earned the right to be respected for what they have done so far in the regular season ...But bing the backtoback champs deserves even more.

Say what you will but come playofftime you guys NEED Duncan ...Parker and open 3's wont be enough when the games matter. We played great but that was not the Lakers best you saw today ...obviously ditto for the Spurs.

I still believe come playoff time we get a win at the aT&T (lol it sounded like a clips vs. Lakers Staples game with 40% of the crowd pro Lakers even though Spurs/Clips were the HOME team)
and we protect our home court. I say Lakers in 6 ...and I felt that way BEFORE Today's game. Nothing I saw today changes that view ...

[ElNono]

Just like we have said all along... when the Lakers decide to turn it up... unbeatable. Of course they deserve a lot of blame. They quit after the first quarter.

Like they didn't want to turn it up when they were getting their asses handed to the by the Spurs or Miami... :rolleyes

I don't need you to explain to me what Phil said. He was loud and clear, and had nothing to do with what you're trying to portray right now. :lol


Of course it isn't. But it sure can show some glaring chinks in the armor. :toast

We lost 12 games. Armor is certainly not perfect. I definitely hope we got something out of this game, execution and focus wise.

[jjktkk]

We played great but that was not the Lakers best you saw today ...obviously ditto for the Spurs.

The Lakers have always been the team to beat. Their a great team, but seriously have to disagree with your comment that this wasn't the Lakers best. When Ron Ron, and Shannon Brown are going off, along with the usual performances of Kobe,, Odum, Gasol, etc..., thats the Lakers at peak form. That was a dominant perfromance today.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That was definitely the best game the Lakers played all year.

Props.

[Killakobe81]

Didnt say it wasnt our best so far THIS year just saying if anyone here believes that was full playoff mode ... you are mistaken. That was about us on about 90% ...you wont see the other 10 until 2nd round of the playoffs or later ...

[Venti Quattro]

I just one have one complaint. Steve Blake absolutely sucks. This guy was like a molded CP3 and Deron in one when he was playing against the Lakers and when Mitch gets interested and signs him, he becomes... uh well Steve Blake.

[Donkeybong]

lol true. But he has been playing better as of late. He had a bad stretch that lasted 6 weeks or so of being completely invisible.

[Venti Quattro]

lol true. But he has been playing better as of late. He had a bad stretch that lasted 6 weeks or so of being completely invisible.

Imagine how good the Lakers are going to be if he just was decent. Lakers fans like to make excuses for this guy like blah blah blah he's just not making makeable shots and he just needs to regain confidence in his stroke but the truth is he's scared offensively and a turnstile defensively.

[ElNono]

He's got solid defensive fundamentals though... :lmao

[ElNono]

But it's true, he has underachieved under the bright lights.... the question is why did he look so good in Portland? Just the chance to chuck away?
