Game Blog: Spurs vs. Lakers - Apr. 20

[ffadicted]

Man Neil is like the michael jordan of the "let's empty our benches" games

[T Park]

Jordan Hill lovin this Lakers treatment.

[DMC]

Another shot clock fuck up that goes in LA's favor

[100%duncan]

I feel sorry for Blair but he won't do nothing against LA, hope he gets playing time against the scrub opponents we have left.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

holy shit Neal can't miss when he goes right..

[Penya]

Matt Bonner with a 0 in +/- . That's a quiet night for The King :lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Blair never learn

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh Blair

[DMC]

Don't hit Blair that far out.

[ace3g]

and that is why blair doesn't get minutes in playoffs...

[100%duncan]

See, Blair fucking throws circus shots.

[timtonymanu]

And that's why Blair shouldn't play

[Crookshanks]

The bench better keep it up. I don't want to see the lead evaporate.

[Juggity]

I like Blair at the end of the bench. I think he can be productive there.

[DatBoyGood]

I love how quiet the bandwagon Laker fans got in the arena.

[$pursDynasty]

Bench can only loose playoff minutes with sloppy play now

[100%duncan]

C'mon guys, under 100.

[DMC]

Spurs getting lax

[EmantheSpursFan]

No fair LA has that chick from Baylor

[DMC]

wtf are they doing?

[rasho8]

Get Neal out. Put in Mills.

[smaka]

offensive foul? wow

[$pursDynasty]

I know Neal is a stone cold assassin but where is peppermint Patty, he is a better option to run the point, let Gary play the 2

[100%duncan]

Lakers has got to be the only team that scares me under these circumstances right now. :lmao

[100%duncan]

Holding them under 100 can be a great confidence booster in our defense.

[EVAY]

The offense under Neal just doesn't work. Tony or Manu have to settle people down.

Green should have taken the shot as he was floating past the basket that last time.

6 turnovers so far.

[loveforthegame]

Disappointing to see this lineup let up like this.

[slacker77]

Who is that Asian kid that is always with the spurs staff?

[EVAY]

[T Park]

36-28 Spurs lead the rebounding.

Fuck your twin towers clown.

[slayermin]

What's the name of that mariachi song?

[100%duncan]

There you go Blair

[ffadicted]

Holding them under 100 can be a great confidence booster in our defense.

lol who gives a shit man, this game hasn't mattered in the past 5 minutes

[Spurs Brazil]

Jax dunk

[CitizenDwayne]

Didn't notice Bynum had only 2 rebounds...wowzers

[Libri]

Another 120 game?

[T Park]

Diaw!!!

[100%duncan]

You know this team is that deep when our garbage time line-up is that.

[EVAY]

Happily we seem to have calmed down a bit after that time out.

[100%duncan]

lol who gives a shit man, this game hasn't mattered in the past 5 minutes

Yeah but the past games our bench have been sucking in garbage times and letting the other team score. :lmao

[Crookshanks]

So are people in La-La land jumping off bridges? LOL

[Spurs Brazil]

Diaw was GREAT tonight

[Juggity]

The banker by green was waaay off

[100%duncan]

Laker Hater make a GIF of Tony going crazy in the bench with Diaw and TD! :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi's straight face lol

[DatBoyGood]

Lol wtf is tony doing

[Bulwark]

Van Gundy: "This is a bad pick-up game now" LOL

[$pursDynasty]

I wonder what Tony was laughing about on the bench, he was probably like last night I was with these 4 chicks and ....

[slacker77]

Who is that Asian kid that is always with the spurs staff?

Anyone?

[timtonymanu]

When was the last time we actually had a close game throughout? Memphis?

[weebo]

tim tony and diaw joking and KL not amused lol

[DMC]

Bynum: "we gone win in San Antonio"

[carina_gino20]

:lol at Kawhi sitting with Tim, Tony, and Boris all serious like that. :lol

[Libri]

Kawhi's straight face lol

That's his happy face.

[cantthinkofanything]

hey... just stopping by for an update. I couldn't bear to watch the Spurs get slaughtered by the mighty lakers. How bad did we lose by? Were there any bright spots at all?

[GSH]

I wonder what Tony was laughing about on the bench, he was probably like last night I was with these 4 chicks and ....


That's funny... my wife just said the same thing.

[siraulo23]

gif that tony shit

[Bulwark]

Kawhi's straight face lol
Yeah, he's giving Duncan a run for his money...

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is such a cool customer. :lol

[Spurfect21]

Kawhi "poker face" Leanord shows no emotions lol even on the bench in a 20 point blow out. What a G lol

[$pursDynasty]

As bad as Timmy felt after the 30 reb Bynum game, Bynum has to feel just as bad tonight because he was OWNED!!!

[100%duncan]

:lol at Kawhi sitting with Tim, Tony, and Boris all serious like that. :lol

Thug life bro, Thug Life

[Spurs9]

Anyone?
Sports trainer

[GSH]

That's his happy face.


Kawhi looks like he's just keeping his motor running in case he gets to come back into the game.

[100%duncan]

Finally a circus shot goes in!

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Troy Murphy rocking the Moe Howard look.

[timmike2]

Anyone?

assistant medical staff

[100%duncan]

Kawhi and Kristen Stewart would make a great couple....

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 333333333333333

[$pursDynasty]

That's funny... my wife just said the same thing.

Kawai wasn't laughing because one of them was probably his girl :lmao

[100%duncan]

So, we troll the NBA forum?

[GSH]

I want to see Bynum's post-game interview tonight. That last one was fun, but this one should be really entertaining.

[Spurs Brazil]

Mills 33333333333333

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

What a Blowout :flag:

Very Impressive SPURS :downspin: :lobt2:

[EVAY]

This is also the fourth game in five nights for this team.

[$pursDynasty]

Blair should have reset and denied the Lakers the 100 like he did that other team

[lefty]

Blair POS

[Juggity]

Would really like to limit the lakers to <100 points. That would be awesome

[Spurs Brazil]

Fantastic win

[$pursDynasty]

100 points denied !!!

[Libri]

Another 120 game?

:clap

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

Props to the Lakers they managed to go a full ten minutes longer than the last time before they rolled over and died.

[spurs_fan_in_exile]

And that's the ballgame. I'm just thrilled I didn't jinx anything by my presence in the GB thread. Peace out!

[GSH]

100 points denied !!!

100 is the new 90. If the Spurs hold an opponent under 100, they they're pretty much good.

[loveforthegame]

Damn good win.

:tu

[100%duncan]

Wanna see Bynum's post game. :lmao

[$pursDynasty]

100 is the new 90. If the Spurs hold an opponent under 100, they they're pretty much good.

yeah if your team has 120+ I don't sweat the opposition getting to 100

[easy7]

Great game. Props to the Spurs...

[$pursDynasty]

but denying the Lakers is always great

[Bulwark]

DimeSmash
Fact: Duncan thinks Kawhi should smile more. (Not really, but leave it to the Spurs to find the one player with less emotion than Tim)

ESPN: "we will talk about the Spurs in a moment, but right now, how about Kobe?" lol lol. Their highlights were 70 percent Kobe shots.

[timtonymanu]

ESPN.com

Kobe scored 18 in his return, but he didn't do nearly enough to help the Lakers vs. the Spurs.

LOL

[slayermin]

That Jack in the Box commercial was done at the Mayan nightclub in downtown LA.

[Crookshanks]

ESPN: "we will talk about the Spurs in a moment, but right now, how about Kobe?" lol lol. Their highlights were 70 percent Kobe shots.

Yeah, I noticed that. But in the end, they couldn't deny the outcome of this game. :lol

[ace3g]

Game 1: Splitter doesn't start - Bynum 30 boards; Game 2: Splitter starts - Bynum 7 boards; Game 3: Splitter starts - Bynum 2 boards

[GSH]

ESPN: "we will talk about the Spurs in a moment, but right now, how about Kobe?" lol lol. Their highlights were 70 percent Kobe shots.

We were laughing about that. Unbelievable.

[will_spurs]

ESPN is a big block to recognition. After having watched the highlights, nobody knows Parker had 20 & 10, that Manu got 20 too, that it's the first time in a year that the whole Big 3 had 20+, or that Duncan and Parker sat the whole 4th again (and quite a bit of the 3rd too)

[carina_gino20]

We were laughing about that. Unbelievable.

Predictable

[maddnezz]

So which spursfan is gonna be the first to start a negative thread tonite?:lol

[Sense]

So Bynum said they were going to win this game :lol I really want to see what he has to say now..

[therealtruth]

I feel sorry for Blair but he won't do nothing against LA, hope he gets playing time against the scrub opponents we have left.

I don't. I am glad Pop made the switch sooner before waiting till the playoffs.

[CitizenDwayne]

ESPN headline mentions nothing about the anal rape that was the 3rd quarter? Ooookay...

And the Lakers are on a collision course for another playoff implosion methinks

[timtonymanu]

I don't. I am glad Pop made the switch sooner before waiting till the playoffs.

Agreed.

And Blair was lucky Diaw signed up so late otherwise Blair would have been benchwarming with Anderson all year.

[Manufan909]

I absolutely LOVE that Splitter played half of the actual game. Never mind the 7-8 minutes of bs at the end, the game was over well before that. Brown was probably in denial for a good 5 minutes before putting in the white flag, aka Jordan Hill.

[Spursfanfromafar]

brjdGtj54U0

Lol. Omigosh. Is that a pass by Manu or a pitch by Randy Johnson?

[desflood]

I was really tired tonight and wanted to get to bed early, but that was definitely worth staying up for :flag:

[GSH]

So which spursfan is gonna be the first to start a negative thread tonite?:lol


Yeah, somebody will start another "fools gold win" thread.


Oh well, at least there aren't any Laker trolls starting threads. I don't miss 'em.

[GSH]

Lol. Omigosh. Is that a pass by Manu or a pitch by Randy Johnson?

Damn, Manu's arm must have gotten tired. He had almost nothing on that last one.

[Manu-20]

I think the spurs win this one in a blowout

lol me talking out of my ass thanks spurs for making me look good

[Slomo]

Tony Parker F
Dear Spurs fans it is clear now that we're losing Tony to Los Angeles when his contract is up. Teams of writers are currently rewriting scripts so that the flash can be played by a black man. Fuck you Hollywood :flipoff

Manu Ginobili B+
Getting the cold shoulder from the Bronco's for next season's starting job has obviously lit a fire under his Italian ass. Too bad touchdown passes are not worth 6 points in the NBA.

Stephen Jackson A+
I'm not getting on captain Jack's bad side.

Tiago Splitter B-
Today was a step in the right direction. There were moment where you could recognize Elvis' lip curl on Tiago's face, but there's still work to be done.

Matt Bonner A+
Timvp's kid is going to own this forum one day - and the color grey doesn't agree with me.

Kawhi Leonard A
Best hair on the team and frankly after the Manu debacle, Popovich's new styling and the loss of Eva this team needed that.

Andrew Bynum A
His two rebounds might not sound like much, but they came at a crucial time.

Tim Duncan Inc.
Too bad he didn't play tonight.
What do you mean 21 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks? Haha you almost got me there!

[Spursfanfromafar]

Damn, Manu's arm must have gotten tired. He had almost nothing on that last one.

Yeah! But it was worth it. Haven't seen someone pass bullets like that.

Useless ESPN has nary a word about these things that the Spurs' big 3 are good at. It is no wonder that in the Third World countries, basketball is only about Kobe, Lebron and the dunkers. And thats why they will never get good at basketball. When youngsters think that basketball is all about volleyball at the rim and given that they don't have the physical attributes to do that, they would never take up basketball at all as a vocation. A shame and ESPN has its share in being guilty for that.

Very, very few players ever would have even seen the possibility of getting that ball to Bonner. And the few that might see it would never think of throwing a basketball like that. And if any of them did think of it, they wouldn't dare try it.

Manu is one of a kind. And you're right - he ought to be a hero to kids trying to learn to play the game. I'm not sure that normal humans could learn to do some of the things he does, but that's what they should aspire to.

Manu is always worth the price of admission.

[Manudona]

Never been happier with a missed 3 pointer by Manu, if he had hit it we would have missed that pass...

fck this game, half the crowd seem like californian LA wankers, how come they dont return to their state, the GFC is over...

[Stringer_Bell]

Kobe actually played a discplined game, and the Spurs crushed on them. I can't wait to see what happens when Kobe plays normal and those long rebounds lead to more fast breaks.

Spurs up by 19 at the end of 3rd despite Kobe keeping Lakers in the game

For once McD has something interesting to say:

@JMcDonald_SAEN: The amazing thing about the Manu pass is not that he sees the play develop before he even gets the ball ...

@JMcDonald_SAEN: ... It's that he sees it develop before he has any idea he's even getting the ball.
