Game Thread: Spurs @ Lakers - Nov 13, 2012 @ 9:30

[Obstructed_View]

Pau should really save his yelling for when he ACTUALLY gets fouled.

[Trainwreck2100]

or maybe if the spurs decided to make their wide open shots

like that

[superjames1992]

SPLITTER.

[007nites]

Splittah!

[ace3g]

TD!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Nice pass by Danny.

[BatManu20]

lol

[phxspurfan]

lovin' Patty Mills' towel waving technique

[Juggity]

Splittahhh

[Small Fundamental]

Splitter doing what he should always do: throw it down

[timvp]

Splitter is faster this year.

[timtonymanu]

Damn. I'm loving Tiago tonight. Too bad he's probably going to be a softie again soon.

[007nites]

Here comes their bench

[bklynspursfan]

There we go

[ace3g]

TD 3 steps back, passes down to Green, who tips it back to Splitter for the TD!!!

[timvp]

Lakers are sagging as much as anyone sags against the Spurs.

[BatManu20]

Fuck Kobe tonight. Brought his A game of course.

[007nites]

There ya go timmy

[Juggity]

Dwight in foul trouble now

[JRHernandez88]

Spurs about to turn it up a few notches

[ace3g]

there we go Splitter

[phxspurfan]

Finyally some Spurs willing to get physical.

[HI-FI]

Kobe is in Colorado mode tonite. figured he would bring his A game.

[timvp]

Wow. Spurs actually getting some calls now.








Must be setting up a fourth quarter travesty :depressed

[timvp]

Wow. Spurs actually getting some calls now.








Must be setting up a fourth quarter travesty :depressed

[superjames1992]

Tiago has activated God Mode.

[sananspursfan21]

Splitts looks like Kevin Love out there

[Juggity]

Time to take advantage of the Dwightless lineup

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter is playing well

[superjames1992]

For your enjoyment.

[Obstructed_View]

Fuck Kobe tonight. Brought his A game of course.

Kobe can hit threes all day long if people don't defend it.

[ElNono]

lol rebounds

[timtonymanu]

Get the fucking rebound!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Howard on the bench is the time to make a run, come on Spurs

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Boris has got to be the one who runs out on that instead of Splitter.

[siraulo23]

bonner cant rebound

[BatManu20]

Dammit Spurs.. horrible transition D, can't man up, and then give up wide open shots and give up offensive rebounds.

[therealtruth]

Damn. I'm loving Tiago tonight. Too bad he's probably going to be a softie again soon.

That's why Pop should keep him starting.

[Darius McCrary]

Pop deserves a senility test for playing Ginobili in this game.

[superjames1992]

PATHETIC rebounding.

Bring in the RED ROCKET to ATTACK the BOARDS!!!

[lakerhaterade]

Good mother of satan grab a fucking rebound

[naico]

our defensive rebounding is just atrocious

[Paranoid Pop]

Pop deserves a senility test for playing Ginobili in this game.

Agreed, there was no point...

[timvp]

Barely getting 60% of the defensive boards. WTF.

[Darius McCrary]

Lakers are sagging as much as anyone sags against the Spurs.
This has been the Laker winning strategy against the Spurs since 2004.

[Richie]

just sit manu, clearly not good

[HI-FI]

Norm!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Barely getting 60% of the defensive boards. WTF.

What's considered average? What's considered good? I can't figure out how the Spurs are still close, tbh.

[jestersmash]

:lol Manu practicing 3s with an imaginary ball before Pau's free throws.

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobili looks horrid - shouldn't be playing if his back is bothering him this much

[timvp]

What's considered average? What's considered good? I can't figure out how the Spurs are still close, tbh.

Spurs were 72% coming into this game, which is 20th. Usually the Spurs are > 75%.

[jestersmash]

Why don't they put E. Curry in.

Because it's Spurs vs Lakers - not Spurs vs Lakers vs Mavericks

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs were 72% coming into this game, which is 20th. Usually the Spurs are > 75%.

Thank you.

[superjames1992]

Way to get owned by Artest ... errr ... World Peace.

[timvp]

MWP killing the Spurs with these trash buckets.

[Splits]

I hate Regional War

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs looking worse than the Pistons at the moment. Even Dallas beat these Lakers.

[jestersmash]

Kobe 10-16, 21 points, 4 rebounds, 5 asissts
Ginobili 1-6, 2 points

[Floyd Pacquiao]

TP not looking like his usual self tbh

[Darius McCrary]

Spurs were 72% coming into this game, which is 20th. Usually the Spurs are > 75%.

Would make more sense to compare spurs defensive rebound% against the 2008-current Lakers.

[superjames1992]

Nice bailout foul, Diaw.

[Small Fundamental]

Phantom foul.

[jestersmash]

Blair coming into the game now. Wonderful.

[superjames1992]

Popsickle is sending Blair back out. SMH!

[timvp]

Manu has been the best Manu defender today.

Mills instead of Neal? I can't agree with that, tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

And as far as these announcers go, I think they're great. They don't come across as homers. Very knowledgable and enjoy watching the game.

[ace3g]

Patty 1:32 to go off

[Darius McCrary]

Hopefully TP is saving his energy for the 4th Q. Unfortunately, TP doesn't have a good history of using that strategy against the Lakers.

[DatBoyGood]

Is it just me or does Mills look like The Weeknd??

[superjames1992]

Wow, Manu actually looked like he had some life there. So close to the and-one.

[jestersmash]

Expect Manu to go 1-2 from the line.

[007nites]

Turnobili

[BatManu20]

Manu..

[Obstructed_View]

Manu doesn't look like himself.

[Juggity]

jesus manu, make your FTs

[JRHernandez88]

Manu looks bad so far

[naico]

What are Manu's FT stats this year? He's been off it seems

[Obstructed_View]

"Just dunk on Tim Duncan." Great coaching moments from Kobe.

[ace3g]

I'll take it, but got lucky

[007nites]

Blair nice

[BatManu20]

Nice

[Juggity]

Nice pass

[Ice009]

Fuck you Manu. fucking pathetic.

[ace3g]

great move

[timvp]

TD with Hall of Fame move.

[DatBoyGood]

TImmy!

[007nites]

classic timmy

[JRHernandez88]

Great fkn move

[Juggity]

4 down!

[lefty]

duncan shooooooooooooooooooooooow

[ElNono]

The Patty Effect (tm)

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Manu's back clearly affecting his game

[superjames1992]

God damn it, Manu. Come on.

Popsickle should have sat Manu.

[Johnny RIngo]

Ginobili rushed that three

[BatManu20]

Damn thought Manu was going to drain it

[phxspurfan]

Nice tough bball played by Spurs. Now time to see whose stars are better

[Darius McCrary]

Am I crazy for thinking that Cory Joseph would be a better backup in a slow, defensive game like this over Neal and Mills?

[timvp]

Manu? Coulda just taken it in. That J ain't flowing right now.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Manu!!

[Small Fundamental]

Manu is just having a bad night.

[SpursRock20]

Manu is somewhere near ~60%

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Ginobili why are your shots long

[Juggity]

Manu's shot was definitely flat there

[007nites]

Good move by Pop by playing Timmy against there bench

[024]

spurs should have shipped ginobili out when they had a chance...

[Darius Bieber]

Shooting a running transition three with 3 seconds left in the quarter? Damn Manu, isn't he like 1 for 10 for the floor now or something?

[NickiRasgo]

Manu should've pass it to SJax.

[superjames1992]

spurs should have shipped ginobili out when they had a chance...
Umadbro?

[Obstructed_View]

First team to 100 points will need at least quadruple overtime to achieve it.

[Ice009]

what a pathetic game from Manu. There was no need to jack up a three there. He's shot like shit, should have taken a step in or passed the ball.

[naico]

Kobe gonna take over though...

[timvp]

Am I crazy for thinking that Cory Joseph would be a better backup in a slow, defensive game like this over Neal and Mills?
Wouldn't mind seeing it, tbh.

[jestersmash]

Manu 1-7.

IIRC Manu's lowest FG% in game when attempting at least 10+ field goals is 10% (1-10) (this stat may be wrong, I didn't double check).

He might break that record tonight, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

Manu's shot was definitely flat there

Yep great call. No way are we up if he goes Blair/ diaw again

[superjames1992]

Tony Parker has three points since the first quarter.

The amazing post-first quarter disappearing act continues.

[HI-FI]

spurs should have shipped ginobili out when they had a chance...

...., well , at the very least we shouldn't resign him to a lot of money, way too many health concerns.

[007nites]

spurs should have shipped ginobili out when they had a chance...

Should have shipped his ass out for Jason Kidd when we had the chance.

[Obstructed_View]

Kobe gonna take over though...

"take over" = shoot 4 for 12 in the last 8 minutes of the game.

[Richie]

manu hurting us, just sit him

[DAF86]

Pop deserves a senility test for playing Ginobili in this game.

Harlem or DPG?

[Ice009]

This Ginobili character has really been total crap tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

Manu will come thru if/when we need him tonight

[lakerhaterade]

I still believe in Manu. He'll be aight

[jestersmash]

manu hurting us, just sit him

Expected this to be a ducks post, tbh.

[007nites]

This Turnobili dude. Does he even play basketball?

[ElNono]

Tony gonna show up in the 4th? Or is his back hurting too?

[Darius McCrary]

Cory plays the best full court defense out of any PG on the Spurs roster. That kind of pressure would pay dividends in a game like this. Oh well, not going to happen.

[superjames1992]

Tony gonna show up in the 4th? Or is his back hurting too?
He had a good first quarter and just decided to pack it up afterwards. His night is done.

[timvp]

This feels like your classic Manu explosion out of nowhere.




:prayingdog

[The_Worlds_finest]

Jack in the box breakfast sandwiches

[Splits]

TD with 27 minutes already

[wut]

lakers going to be in bonus in less than 2 mins watch

[jestersmash]

Ginobili 3 points in 16 minutes. His PER is going to take a hit, to say the least :lol

[Paranoid Pop]

Tony gonna show up in the 4th? Or is his back hurting too?

Calling a clutch 3 by TP in the 4th.

[siraulo23]

FT parade

bonner's fault

[naico]

TD had that block..Manu just being stupid today

[superjames1992]

Patty Cakes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Patt Stacks

[DatBoyGood]

Mills!

[timvp]

Mills! In my face.

[lakerhaterade]

Mills!

[Juggity]

MILLZZZ

[BatManu20]

Jordan Hill give me break..

[timvp]

Blair with the surprisingly smart move.

[Obstructed_View]

Nimble move from Blair.

[Obstructed_View]

Manu with a good defensive play.

[DatBoyGood]

omg manu

[superjames1992]

Why did Manu shoot that?

[ElNono]

damn Blair, hold on to it

[Obstructed_View]

Blair is such a tard. :lol

[timvp]

Damn it, I thought that was good by Manu.

Blair ....... call timeout.

[lakerhaterade]

Wow Blair

[timvp]

Damn it, I thought that was good by Manu.

Blair ....... call timeout.

[HI-FI]

Blair with the dropkick lol

[BatManu20]

Blair's effort +1

[Juggity]

Nice try by blair, can't fault him

[Small Fundamental]

Nice energy from Blair.

[jestersmash]

Why did Manu shoot that?

Because he's trying to beat his previous record of 1-10 in a regular season game.

[ace3g]

Damn it, I thought that was good by Manu.

Blair ....... call timeout.

on both

[Darius McCrary]

Blair is lovable even in his mistakes.

[phxspurfan]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpTPRqF1ORE

[SpursNextRomanEmpire]

That was great effort from Blair.

[Paranoid Pop]

Can someone tell Manu to stop shooting.

[ace3g]

SJAX!!!

[DatBoyGood]

fck yes jackson!

[007nites]

JAX RAW

[Darius McCrary]

Stakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[timvp]

BS shot by Jack. I'll take it :smokin

[Juggity]

Jax 3333

[Obstructed_View]

Fuk yo D12, clown.

[lakerhaterade]

SJAX

[ElNono]

manu is probably done for the night

[superjames1992]

Because he's trying to beat his previous record of 1-10 in a regular season game.
At least Manu does things that don't show up in the box score. He's killing it on D tonight.

[timtonymanu]

I love you, Jack!

[ElNono]

capt jack owning, per par

[siraulo23]

buckets!

[Small Fundamental]

I love Jackson.

[Bill_Brasky]

Jack with a BOMB.

[AussieFanKurt]

wow jax thats some serious range son

[naico]

lol broadcasters are such homers

[jestersmash]

Can someone tell Manu to stop shooting.

I kind of want to see Manu go 1-15, tbh. It may give him a much needed kick in the ass and get him going later on.

[Obstructed_View]

manu is probably done for the night

Thinking the same thing. Especially after he hit the floor.

[JRHernandez88]

Stakjak

[sananspursfan21]

feels like LA has hit a lot of lucky shots i.e. jordan hill

[007nites]

BS shot by Jack. I'll take it :smokin

You've got to admit that he makes quite a few of those in the 4th.

[timvp]

New Rule: Stephen Jackson is not allowed to ever play for another team again.

[Ice009]

shitu keeps jacking up anything.

Great shot from Jack!

[jestersmash]

At least Manu does things that don't show up in the box score. He's killing it on D tonight.

His D on Kobe has been pretty good tonight. This is true.

Although Kobe's definitely scored on Ginobili a couple of times even when Ginobili was playing fundamentally sound defense.

[Splits]

Only reason we're in this game is just 6 turnovers thus far. Pretty dramatic turnaround from the rest of the games on this roadie.

[Libri]

The trade for Jax was great. Can't be said enough.

[Obstructed_View]

lol broadcasters are such homers

Clearly you've never seen a Rockets or Celtics feed.

[Supreme_Being]

Action Jackson!

[MI21]

He Who Shall Not Be Named for Stephen Jackson.

:lol Warriors

[Paranoid Pop]

Clearly you've never seen a Rockets or Celtics feed.

Celtics are the worst by a mile.

[superjames1992]

We need to bring the RED ROCKET in to hit a CLUTCH trey.

[Obstructed_View]

Only reason we're in this game is just 6 turnovers thus far. Pretty dramatic turnaround from the rest of the games on this roadie.

THAT'S why. Driving me nuts. Thank you.

[Nathan89]

Howard is an easier match for Duncan because he doesn't have Bynum's length and size

[timvp]

Green on Kobe :(

[jestersmash]

I'm glad Kawhi passed it up instead of charging into his defender per usual. At least it gave Patty an open look.

[JRHernandez88]

New Rule: Stephen Jackson is not allowed to ever play for another team again.
Yes sir SA representer when I enter

[phxspurfan]

Most obvious moving screen

[BatManu20]

Someone hit an open shot please. Jesus.

[ace3g]

Kawhi answers Kobe

[jestersmash]

Green's defense on Kobe has been pretty lackluster this game. Expect Kobe to go off.

[timvp]

TAKE GREEN OFF OF KOBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks.

[Obstructed_View]

Foot on the line, but at least it went in.

[superjames1992]

Manu goes out and Kobe starts to go off again...

[naico]

haha nice moving screen

[Juggity]

KL with that long 2

[BatManu20]

Splitter getting killed on the boards by Dwight

[Obstructed_View]

SPLITTER PUT YOUR GOD FUCKING HANDS UP!!!

[superjames1992]

Splitter answers the HATERS.

[DatBoyGood]

Maaaan if mills wouldve made that..!

[timvp]

Splitter showing some fight.

Good work, Patty. L'go TP.

[007nites]

Splitter good job.

[MI21]

Kobe struggles against length in 4th quarters.. Kawhi or Jack need to guard him.

[ElNono]

it's gonna be a freebie parade, tbh... and Splitter was fouled in the previous play

[BatManu20]

Like I said, Kobe will start getting calls in the 4th. Like clockwork.

[timvp]

Put Manu in for defense.


(Can't believe I typed that)

[TheSkeptic]

Kobe is a problem.

[jestersmash]

Like I said, Kobe will start getting calls in the 4th. Like clockwork.

You make it sound like we didn't foul him.

[Supreme_Being]

Low scoring game huh?

[Darius McCrary]

Pop should have a Celtics towel on hand to wave in situations like these so Kobe misses FT's

[timvp]

TP! Thank you.

[AussieFanKurt]

does kirby just shout every time he's touched

[ace3g]

I would have a Manu, Kawhi, SJax, Splitter, Duncan line up

[Darius McCrary]

No fucking way that was a 3 pointer

[BatManu20]

Kobe shitting all over us tonight. green can't guard him, period.

[timtonymanu]

Take Green off of Kobe. Jesus.

[jestersmash]

Looked like a bit of a moving screen by Dwight.

[Juggity]

Would be amazed if either team scores 90

[superjames1992]

Manu needs to come back in and shut down Kobe. He's the best defender we have on the perimeter and has been ever since Bruce left.

Advanced statistics actually show that he's one of the better defenders in the NBA.

[DAF86]

Try anyone but Green on Kobe.

[naico]

That was a 2

[Nathan89]

Can Sean shut the fuck up already? He keep repeating the same shit.

[bklynspursfan]

Kobe getting wide open looks

[ElNono]

this is where Pop gets scared... should've put Kawhi on him a long time ago... plus Kobe chucking is what you want... eventually he cools off

[Obstructed_View]

No fucking way that was a 3 pointer

Lakers announcers said the same thing. Bet they don't fix it.

[SpursRock20]

Deduct a point from the Lakers please. That was a two pointer

[TDMVPDPOY]

did they give him that 3 or a 2?

[sananspursfan21]

so they gave kobe a 3 when his toe was clearly on the line

[timvp]

Kobe's a great scorer obviously but Green has been horrible defensively this game. Now they're throwing screens at him. He toast, tbh.

[Trainwreck2100]

How could you call that a 3 that was obvious from here

[DesignatedT]

Get the ball out of Kobes hands. Fuckin a.

[Darius McCrary]

Reminds me of 2003 WCFs when Nick Van Exel was 3 feet into the 3point line, and the game still gave him 3 points.

[wut]

kobe definitely had his foot on the line.

[ElNono]

Pop just having Ime Udoka nightmares right now

[Obstructed_View]

Take Green off of Kobe. Jesus.

Technically, Green hasn't been anywhere near Kobe.

[Ice009]

his foot was on the line. that is a two. better change that fucking score.

[AussieFanKurt]

deduct a fucking point
