Game Blog: Spurs vs. Lakers - Apr. 20

[Admidave50]

Pussy Gasol saved by the refs. Splitter doing a good job on him so far

[rasho8]

Unfortunately Splitter becoming softer than Gasoft.

What the fuck are you talking about?

[$pursDynasty]

we are going bench against 2 starters for lakers time for our bench to step up

[ace3g]

dang SJAX yelling, can hear him on Kens 5 feed

[loveforthegame]

Careless turnovers suck.

Jackson has to do better on MWP.

[EVAY]

Manu got mugged last time but Splitter gets a cheap call.

[Warlord23]

Between Jax and Manu, turnovers by the second unit are going to be a huge issue with teams that try to poke and strip the ball away

[$pursDynasty]

I don't like this line up for us

[wut]

man these refs are bullshit

[Spurs Brazil]

We're getting robbed big time

[100%duncan]

OMG, the refs are killing us

[smaka]

Dude gasol screaming like a lady giving birth smh..

[Admidave50]

WTF, are u kidding?! we're not in LA, fuck the refs!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Fucking refs.

[bklynspursfan]

Manu pissed at Bonner lol

[Juggity]

Bonner with a crazy floater

[100%duncan]

Stern always in work.

[Spurs Brazil]

refs killing us

[bklynspursfan]

They call that shit!!!!????

[timtonymanu]

These refs need to be killed, tbh.

[Paranoid Pop]

Lol manu playing horribly.

[100%duncan]

Wow, Bullshit. Get TD and TP back there. Fuck you refs, hope you all die in hell.

[rasho8]

I don't get this shit at all.

[Sense]

Holy shit refs... getting the Lakers back in the game :lol

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Fuckin bitch Barnes

[wut]

refs giving this game to Lakers.

[Brazil]

our second unit is not supposed to kick the ass of their second unit?

[Admidave50]

Lakers bench outplaying ours... not good!

[$pursDynasty]

Neal forcing shots, set up the offense, dang it Bynum aint in there

[Tp9gospursgo]

Call it on both ends please.

[timtonymanu]

The 2nd unit + the refs calling shit fouls is what is killing this momentum.

[timvp]

The bench didn't do their part. Especially since depth is such a huge key against the Lakers.

[loveforthegame]

Lakers getting rough with the Spurs with no calls. How will the Spurs respond?

[Rummpd]

man these refs are bullshit


This

[LakerHater]

FOUL?????

Hard contact on Manu... no call!
Weak contact on Barnes... 3 point play!

[Wild Cobra Kai]

Stern on the phone...

[bklynspursfan]

This is a joke thus far. The calls these clowns are getting

[Quiet Strength]

lol bullshit calls

[therealtruth]

MWP owning SJax. Ginobili should have got back down court. Forced Splitter to pick up foul.

[Robz4000]

Spurs getting fucked by the refs again, what else is new?

[GB20]

i knew this was going to happen with these refs.

[DMC]

Prime example of why Manu is always hurt. Instead of playing the game, he's trying to draw a charge half court and getting run over. I could see that if it was late game and we needed the possession, but just run your defense and get the stop.

Also, no FTs for SA.

[smaka]

fuck the refs, seriously. fakers doing what they want, but they call our every single touch. wtf

[Spurs Brazil]

Difficult to know who's worst, our bench or the refs

[100%duncan]

I honestly want these "refs" clowns to die in hell.

[Spursfan092120]

Wow...just blown away right now. Lakers getting homecourt advantage with the officials. Barnes just ran over Manu with his forearm and got a bitch call on the other end.

[timvp]

No free throws yet for the Spurs. Interesting.

[$pursDynasty]

our second unit is not supposed to kick the ass of their second unit?

well Gasol and Artest aren't exactly their bench but that is a bad line up we have out there, put in Diaw or something that unit has no cohesion at all.

[DMC]

Also, Bonner has to be told, in situ, to set a screen for Manu. How long has he been playing again?

[therealtruth]

Lakers getting rough with the Spurs with no calls. How will the Spurs respond?

Exactly. The Spurs have to respond to the physicality.

[TE]

2nd unit looks either tired or not into it. Officiating has been good so far with the exception of the last couple of trips.

[EVAY]

Gentlemen, what these foul calls are telling you is that this game has been predetermined by the NBA. There is no other possible explanation for this officiating.

[100%duncan]

Bynum getting rest, we were supposed to be leading by this time, but fucking refs with bullshit

[LakerHater]

Spurs fouls- 7
fLakers fouls- 1

[Sparrowhawk]

I've got the feeling this will be a kind of Rocky epic battle, both teams pushing hard for this game.

[DMC]

This is a game that Pop should have set the 3.

[loveforthegame]

Bench fail so far.

Spurs have to play through the adversity. They're not getting help elsewhere.

[Paranoid Pop]

No free throws yet for the Spurs. Interesting.

Because we shoot jumpers, only layups are in transition.

[100%duncan]

Wow, what a line-up

[Brazil]

give credit to the lakers they are playing more aggressive than we are right now

[rasho8]

Can Neal not see Splitter?

[LakerHater]

All jumpshots!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Son of a bitch

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Really. Our bench is playing like bitches.

[Sense]

Wtf is Pop doing?

[bklynspursfan]

Lakers bench is killing ours LOL

[Spurs Brazil]

Neal 33333333333333

[Tp9gospursgo]

Thank you Neal!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yeah Neal 33333333333333333

[loveforthegame]

Neal!

[TheSkeptic]

Gentlemen, what these foul calls are telling you is that this game has been predetermined by the NBA. There is no other possible explanation for this officiating.

That's one way to look at it, I suppose. I think they're just not very good tbh.

[Admidave50]

TP on the bench has been brutal for us so far

[Juggity]

Neal can be counted on to make that quick 3

[rasho8]

Oh my god they called a foul!!!!

[$pursDynasty]

we might be better off with patty at point, Neal is the 2nd coming of Westbrick at point, more shooter that facilitator

[wut]

OMG LAKERS called for foul! miracle of miracles.

[100%duncan]

Glad to see TP back

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

War TP!

[bklynspursfan]

Refs didn't want to call that foul on MWP...

[LakerHater]

WHAAAT, Spurs got a call???

[TheSkeptic]

Diaw was probably a good substitution there. I want TD to come back soon though.

[Brazil]

we are getting lazy in D

[bklynspursfan]

Dam you know your bad when Barnes is hurting you

[ace3g]

Splitter start yelling in the paint on any contact

[LakerHater]

Barnes w an easy lay up!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fucking bullshit

[rasho8]

Seriously?

[bklynspursfan]

What a cheap fucking call my god!!!!

[100%duncan]

Fuck man. Gasol should go to hell too.

[timtonymanu]

MIA bench. Step the fuck up.

[wut]

Gasol crying wolf... refs bowing to his every wish.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

I'm late to the party, but I figured I'd get in on at least one game blog this year, so if anyone gets hurt tonight I guess I'm to blame.

[LakerHater]

WTF???
Foul??

[$pursDynasty]

looks like Timmy and Tony make our depth look better than it really is, when they aren't in, it looks pedestrian well at least tonight it does

[Tp9gospursgo]

Refs hate Tiago. Pau flopping like a bitch.

[loveforthegame]

3 fouls on Splitter. Smh.

[ace3g]

TP and 1

[100%duncan]

Tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooonyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

[EVAY]

So they have Splitter in foul trouble again

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Fuck yeah Parker!!! and 1

[Spurs Brazil]

Tony and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Finally a fucking call

[LakerHater]

Thank You Tony!!!

[rasho8]

Our first free throw!

[Admidave50]

TP and1!!!!

[$pursDynasty]

Timmy and Tony come in and Lakers have to call time out, totally different team

[bklynspursfan]

TP fired up... He reacted how I did.

[loveforthegame]

Thank you Parker.

Can we afford to play him the rest of the way?

[Stalin]

parker abusing blake

[Spurtacus]

8-0 FT advantage

Spurs are going to have to be turnover free and shoot well to win this game because the refs aren't calling it equally.

[Brazil]

TP with the wtf are you doing, get out of my way, I'm going to take over that shit

[timtonymanu]

Finally a free throw! It looks like we're gonna have to ride Tim and Tony tonight.

[Tp9gospursgo]

TP with the AND 1!!

[timvp]

Parker held down the turbo button to finish that play off, tbh.

[100%duncan]

Well, I guess TP and TD has gotta win this game for us just like the last time.

[boutons_deux]

32 pts 1st qtr

7 pts in 1/2 of 2nd qtr

[Manu-20]

finally we get a call while the lakers get away with elbows

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter gets no love from the Refs. That last 1 was a complete joke. They're competing down there man. I hope Pop and the coaching staff see that

[smaka]

Lol Parker is killing this pussy called Blake.

[wut]

3 fouls on Splitter. Smh.
I say play him until his fouls run out...what's the worst that could happen? You play Bonner in the 4th (obviously going to happen anyway).

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Tony's pumped. Hopefully they turn that momentum into closing out the half like they did the last time these two met.

[$pursDynasty]

we are stacked but have yet to figure out the best 2nd unit against the lakers IF TD and TS are starting.

[LakerHater]

First Free Throws comming up!

[100%duncan]

We need TP and TD to play 35 min up this game and get a rest the next 2 games.

[Crookshanks]

OMG - this game is getting out of hand already. Can't believe the fouls that are being called against the Spurs. But the Spurs just need to settle down and play smarter. Hope the game gets better, because this has been painful to watch at times.

[therealtruth]

We are shooting 60% from the field and are only tied. I am not sure that's going to get it done. I'm positive that won't get it done.

[Reck]

Bench did a shit job.

[JustSpurs]

Refs must be getting rich off the Lakers non calls

[Josepatches_]

Nice play Tony


We should have played some plays for Tiago in the post. He can score over Pau.He gets the call the only play he tried.

[AusSpur]

Blake seems to have no idea that he cant defend :wow

[$pursDynasty]

Finally a free throw! It looks like we're gonna have to ride Tim and Tony tonight.

I aint scared of the Lakers BUT if that is the only way we can beat the Fakers it would be wise to avoid them in the playoff bracket because an exhausted timmy and tony means disaster for the next round

[EVAY]

We need TP and TD to play 35 min up this game and get a rest the next 2 games.

This

[100%duncan]

Wow, Scrubs killing us again.

[bklynspursfan]

Put a fucking hand up Green come on

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I hate Matt Barnes

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Barnes is killing us again.

[ace3g]

nice move Diaw!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Nice aggressive move Diaw

[ace3g]

bullsh*** that foul was on Bynum not Barnes

[Spurs Brazil]

I can't believe

FUCK REFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TE]

The hoop couldn't look bigger to that human scum Barnes

[timtonymanu]

OMG these refs are pissing me off.

[TheSkeptic]

Need to get some stops.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Wow are you fucking kidding me

[100%duncan]

Refs, please die in hell. Fuck you all. Please Die in hell.

[bklynspursfan]

What a late fucking whistle..... oh my lord

[ace3g]

really refs?? where was the foul, he went down the middle of both arms of Kobe...

[TE]

Wow what a terrible call :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Diaw should dominate his matchup

[Rummpd]

Weak ass call again

[LakerHater]

LAAAATE Whistle!!!

[smaka]

are u kidding me, fuuuuuck the refs, idiots

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Bail out call. Fuck that.

[Tp9gospursgo]

lol Kobe very lucky right there.

[Admidave50]

Late whistle! FUCK THE REFS, fantom call

[wut]

oh my, WAAAY late call on Leonard guarding Kobe.

[Libri]

Where's the foul? Seriously?

[EVAY]

There was NO foul!!!

[bklynspursfan]

This is seriously disgusting

[100%duncan]

Timmeh

[ace3g]

nice quick move Timmy

[Brazil]

we need to play and stay focus not letting the frustration of the ref taking over

[TheSkeptic]

Is there no way for a team to complain about the officiating when things like this happen? I'm beginning to think the NBA needs to have some other company provide officials...

[wut]

Bynum would've gotten owned in Duncan's prime years...

[therealtruth]

Nice play Tony


We should have played some plays for Tiago in the post. He can score over Pau.He gets the call the only play he tried.

Good point. We're not putting enough pressure on their bigs.

[loveforthegame]

Shit foul. These refs suck.

[Juggity]

Duncan is seriously looking like 7 or 8 years ago on the offensive end

[Kyl3]

never even touch kobitch

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Tim is currently 7 of 9. Thank you ESPN for giving me an excuse to think about Jeri Ryan's boobs.

[Crookshanks]

Boy do I miss Steve Javie.

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard 3333333333333333333333333333333

[100%duncan]

Kawhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[ace3g]

Kawhi just said FU refs on that 3!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

Kawhi!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi thank you man. Good shit

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Leonard you are fucking awesome

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Shades of Bowen? Korner three!

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi has been great tonight.

[Libri]

Leonard is starting to become automatic from the corner.

[100%duncan]

Loveeeeeeeeeee yoouuuuuuuuuuu Diaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwww

[ace3g]

Diaw earning Playoff minutes!!!

[Tp9gospursgo]

That looked like a travel but I'll take it!!

[bklynspursfan]

Pop forced to put Manu on Kobe since Kawhi getting no respect

[LakerHater]

awesome play!!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Here we go Diaw fuck yes! God i'm going to break something. I'm so pumped!

[timvp]

Ka-why-didn't-yo-team-draft-him :smokin

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paranoid Pop]

Diaw driving again, clearly our best PF lol, come at me Tiago homers.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Energy creates turnovers creates fast breaks. I LOVE IT!

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

Leonard, what a got damn boss.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is a beast.

Diaw playing a beautiful game.

[Juggity]

That was un fucking believable ball movement. Kawhi steal, Gino pass, Diaw drive. Beautiful.

[ace3g]

Kawhi form is mix of Bowen, Finley, and Horry

[100%duncan]

Bynum would've gotten owned in Duncan's prime years...

Are you kidding me? Even now Timmy is beastin against Bynum :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

That looked like a travel but I'll take it!!

Thought so too but they showed he took 1 dribble lol

[Manu-20]

WOOOOOOOOO Kawhi making them refs pay for calling that ticky tak foul on him

[Admidave50]

Spurs basketball! Love it

[Tp9gospursgo]

Nevermind didn't see him dribble.

[~Sweetmelody~]

The kid is awesome

[EVAY]

Diaw actually does seem to have a pretty decent BBIQ

[Quiet Strength]

Ka-why-didn't-yo-team-draft-him :smokin

:lol

[Richie]

Our bench can't be worse and thiers can't be much better. We'll pull away from this end of 3rd beginning of 4th

[timtonymanu]

I like this 5 on the floor.

[wut]

That looked like a travel but I'll take it!!
was thinking the same thing. :lol

[100%duncan]

That was really a lovely move. Got damn Diaw and Kawhi stepping up to help the Big 3

[TheSkeptic]

Diaw actually does seem to have a pretty decent BBIQ

Always has dating back to his days in Phoenix.

[BoricuaCJA]

Beautiful work!

[TE]

The bench has to do a better job when coming back into the game. The starters are totally carrying the team when on the floor.

[$pursDynasty]

we can beat the Lakers in a seven game series but Lord it would be exhausting/devestating worst matchup for Spurs by miles

[wut]

Lakers clearly not great in the open court, we need to expose that as much as possible.

[MannyIsGod]

Seriously, fuck the refs.

[Josepatches_]

As long as they try to find Kobe like they did last plays we'll be ok.

If they play inside it will be hard

[Crookshanks]

Yeah Spurs - that is how you play the game! They're smart enough to play through the bad calls and just play smarter.

[Josepatches_]

As long as they try to find Kobe like they did last plays we'll be ok.

If they play inside it will be hard

[100%duncan]

C'mon finish the half great,guys.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Diaw actually does seem to have a pretty decent BBIQ


He has a very high BBIQ... Love it

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Manu tres!!!

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Manu 3333333333333333333

[100%duncan]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaanuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[Quiet Strength]

lol wow really? Weak call

[DMC]

So it's a foul when Bynum falls

[100%duncan]

He slid damn it.

[Spurs Brazil]

fucking refs again

[Manu-20]

wtf how is that a foul on duncan

[InRareForm]

that's a slip

[bklynspursfan]

Bynum tripped man... SMH

[wut]

whatever, all of a sudden hulk of a man bynum is a baby and falls from big ol tim duncan.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

JVG is pissing me off... shut the fuck up

[100%duncan]

Wow, JVG fuck you and the refs.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Jeebus, one more shit call.

[Cry Havoc]

Bynum should fall down a lot more since it's 2 free throws for him when he does.

[Spurs9]

what the ****, I said before that play, I bet they will fall a BS foul, sure enough!

[Admidave50]

Refs, fucking bitches

[$pursDynasty]

Van Gundy is a turd all the time hollering that's not a foul don't call that, then Bynum falls down and he is like that is a foul wth

[bklynspursfan]

I guess the ball does lie

[~Sweetmelody~]

Seriously??

[smaka]

Bitch Bynum cant walk or run so Timmy must get a foul. Yeaa right..

[TheSkeptic]

I hope Tim can hang on. Don't want him starting the half with 3.

[100%duncan]

Damn Timmay!

[carina_gino20]

what the hell was that

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim Duncan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Timmy with a crazy layup

[Quiet Strength]

lol @ the replay of the so called foul. These calls are fucking stupid.

[wut]

should've been a foul on bynum there.

[Admidave50]

Nice touch Timmy!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Tim Duncan saying, "Fuck Bynum and fuck Father Time!"

[100%duncan]

World Peace fuck you too.

[Brazil]

freaking artest
