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

[ace3g]

Marc J. Spears ‏@SpearsNBAYahoo (https://twitter.com/SpearsNBAYahoo) Lakers PG Steve Blake is out Tues vs San Antonio with an abdominal strain and listed as day-to-day. Vet Chris Duhon is the likely starter

@jadande (https://twitter.com/jadande): And by the way, the Lakers say Steve Blake (abdominal strain) won't play vs. Spurs Tues. Steve Nash already out.

[Mugen]

id feel better if Blake were playing tbh

[justinandimcool]

Lakers have a new coach and zero bench, and now zero PG's.

No excuse for losing this one.

[Brazil]

Lakers have a new coach and zero bench, and now zero PG's.

No excuse for losing this one.

they still have Howard and Gasol tbh

[Stabula]

lol so who's playing point tomorrow?

[ace3g]

The Spurs depth should really help this game.

It will be interesting to see how Pop approaches Dwight on defense.

Hopefully this isn't one of those 60-33 rebounding nights in favor of Lakers.

Would be nice if Splitter could have a much need rejuvenation game, don't want to play too small vs Lakers front line.

[Kidd K]

What's Tony Parker's status for the game?

[ace3g]

What's Tony Parker's status for the game?

I post this in the injury update thread:

Maximum Sports ‏@MaxSportsSA (https://twitter.com/MaxSportsSA) Spurs Tom James says the players battling the flu are all feeling better; close to 100 percent. D. Blair listed as probable tomorrow vs. LA.

Including Parker? Nice. . .if we have our full team, we should be able to take one @LA. Will be a good win to add.

[NickiRasgo]

Blake doesn't want to play because of SJax, he's still afraid.

:lol I remember that one last year.

[freetiago]

as long as pop doesnt start blair we should be fine
howards gonna have a 20+ rebound game no matter what
if blair starts were looking at a 30+
diaw starting on gasol and duncan on howard with splitter off the bench would work best
dont think they need to start splitter this time

if toilet paper doesnt have a good game vs this poverty defense then he needs his ass traded

[TD 21]

If Pop's smart, he holds Blair out for one more game and claims it's for precautionary reasons. Then, he starts Splitter and utilizes a three big rotation. He also avoids having Splitter guard Howard, so long as both Duncan and Diaw aren't in foul trouble. If, for whatever reason a fourth big is needed for spot minutes, then it should be Jackson (but only when Jamison is playing PF).

This.

Except I would get Diaw guarding Dwight since Dwight to start since he bangs so hard in the paint Timmy might pick up fouls.

No, Bonner will guard Dwight and give him 6 fouls. :lol

[Fireball]

I really wish I could see this game live, but my current workload won't let me. Good were the times the past years when I watched nearly all games live.

Lakers got their wins against not really good teams (also Warriors missed Bogut and Kings missed Cousins), so I still think they are at the beginning of workings things out. The Spurs had two days of rest so I really expect them to win this one as all hands are on deck :)

[Sportcamper]

Darius Morris and Jodie Meeks…Unstoppable…:tu

[ManuTastic]

Don't get too excited about no LA PGs; with the kind of individual talent they have, they don't need a lot of zippy playmaking to get looks.
Definitely should be a Spurs victory though. LA in disarray.

[xellos88330]

This game should be quite interesting. :D

[DBMethos]

i'd love to see a hack a dwight in the regular season tbh :lmao

[LakaFan]

Dwight will dominate that AARP frontline

[Dex]

i'd love to see a hack a dwight in the regular season tbh :lmao

If the Spurs find themselves getting down big or needing a run, I wouldn't be surprised to see Pop go to it.

[Spurs da champs]

He also avoids having Splitter guard Howard, so long as both Duncan and Diaw aren't in foul trouble. If, for whatever reason a fourth big is needed for spot minutes, then it should be Jackson (but only when Jamison is playing PF).
So have old man Timmy guard the faster/stronger Dwight Howard the whole time? Doesn't sound smart to me. Splitter played decent against Howard last year, so I'm sure he's up to the task.
No need to play it like a playoff game, this early in the season.

i agree with the blair thing, but the lakers team is just bad talent-wise to make adjustments just for them. Let's just play as we normally do and they have no chance.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Lakers still suck against run and gun teams. Spurs hit shots or/and get boards and this is Spurs W.

[Sportcamper]

Should be a good game…Especially considering all of the adversity the Lakers have been surrounded by these past couple of years…Losing their All-Star center to the 76ers….Losing their best PG to the Bobcats…Losing their 6th man of the year to Dallas…Losing their Hall of fame coach to poor health…It is what NBA fans love about the Lakers…Even though the chips maybe down they don’t let it get to them…They just keep plodding along…

[ThePop]

Manu questionable, which means no Manu.

[ace3g]

Mike Monroe ‏@Monroe_SA (https://twitter.com/Monroe_SA) Per Popovich, @manuginobili (https://twitter.com/manuginobili) questionable vs. Lakers tonight; recurrence of back issues. #SpursNation (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SpursNation&src=hash)

[hater]

Spurs drop this one. Artest goes for 7 3s and TD fouls out. Pop ejected. Typical laker game bullshit

[Budkin]

Spurs win with execution in the 4th.

More like Dwight and Gasol take turns dominating Duncan.

No need to play it like a playoff game, this early in the season.

"Old man Timmy", who's been about the best big in the league for a good amount of the calendar year (granted, Howard getting injured and still not being quite right obviously played a major role in that, but still). Duncan will look physically over matched at times, but he's a good Howard defender because he knows how to bait him and get him frustrated. I'm not really worried about Duncan defending him, I'm worried about anyone else having to. But someone has to do it and that someone should be Diaw. Splitter is better suited to defending Gasol.

Raven, they're extremely top heavy, but it's not as if they don't possess a major challenge to the Spurs (and to every other team for that matter), given that their biggest strength is the Spurs biggest weakness.

[blackfire12]

go spurs go

[TimDunkem]

Howard, Gasol, and Hill will play volleyball on the glass, Artest will hit 5 threes, Darius Morris will have the game of his life, and Kobe will actually shoot a respectable percentage.

Spurs lose by at least 15.

lol pooooor Lakers who just got Nash and Howard. Real tear jerker.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs should have the advantage right now. They have the better bench and chemistry. But, considering this is the Lakers, I expect the game to be very tough.

I'm already dreading the Bonner/Blair combo trying to guard the Lakers' frontline. Please don't be soft today, Splitter and please be fine, Manu.

[DesignatedT]

Fuckin NBAtv games. I guess I'll be watching the stream.

[superjames1992]

they still have Howard and Gasol tbh
Don't worry. Bonner and Blair will shut them down, guaranteed.

Pop drops a hot, messy load on Mike D's face.

Horrible start and they havent even stepped foot on the court yet...:td

[Obstructed_View]

When getting 15 or more rebounds, Dwight Howard is 0-4 against Tim Duncan.

[ace3g]

Mike Monroe ‏@Monroe_SA (https://twitter.com/Monroe_SA) No decision yet on @manuginobili (https://twitter.com/manuginobili) vs. Lakers but he looks OK in early warmup

Manu in warm-ups in LA ...looks like he's good to go !

[Amuseddaysleeper]

GREAT news about Manu.

Knowing Pop, he would have sat Manu down had the injury even been a minor concern.

He usually plays well against the Lakers.

[timtonymanu]

Great news about Manu!

[ElNono]

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[HI-FI]

Stacey Paetz seems annoying but still bangable.

[benstanfield]

Gingerbread goes off for an astonishing 30 pts 15 boards 8 assists, takes a watery shit in the middle of staples center, and TD flips off the whole crowd. Mitt Romney declares bankruptcy. Spurs 105 Lakers 109.

[Obstructed_View]

Guarantee that Manu would be sitting if Phil had gotten hired.

[jestersmash]

NBATV on court reporter said Manu took about 20-30 practice shots but was "grimacing" throughout. He stretched before and after.

He's still a game time decision. The fact that he was "grimacing" (if we believe the eye witness reports of this reporter) is cause for concern.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

This has trap game written all over it...

Splitter starting tonight

[HI-FI]

strange, my NBA TV just blacked out.

[timtonymanu]

Wow. Pop going for the big lineup again. Good move. Hopefully Splitter toughens up tonight.

[Kool Bob Love]

Check FSSW



:flag:

[BatManu20]

Splitter starting over Diaw. Smart move tbh. Lakers are too big.

[007nites]

Timmy will drop 30, 20, 5, and 5 tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Morris starting over Duhon

[TDomination]

love that splitter is starting

[Floyd Pacquiao]

strange, my NBA TV just blacked out.

mine did too just switch to fssw

[timvp]

Great that Splitter is starting. Let's go.

[Small Fundamental]

Splitter starting over Diaw. Smart move tbh. Lakers are too big.
He'll probably get pushed around. He's been playing soft lately.

[HI-FI]

Check FSSW



:flag:


yeah that was the first place I tried but no luck. I always have this problem, it will say spurs are playing on my Program Guide or the Info button, but tonite they are showing a fucking SMU game. I always get Mavs over Spurs as well, despite what the Program guide says. I tried asking Time Warner about this but I was talking with Simple Jack on the phone. oh well, looks like i'll resort to my shady alternative.

[007nites]

Tiago nice

[timvp]

Splitter!

[ace3g]

there you go Splitter

[BatManu20]

Dwight looks like a big goon with his headband for some reason

[BatManu20]

There you go Tiago

[timvp]

H:lolward. Keep shooting that.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

greeeeeeeeeen

[007nites]

Green looking sharp

[ace3g]

yeah Dwight thinks he will go Ibaka on the Spurs

[Nathan89]

Pop doing his typical shit by starting Splitter. He hardly prepares this lineup and now he wants to play it.

[BatManu20]

Good start

[timvp]

Great start for Splitter.

[timvp]

Wow, Kobe is so bad on D.

[007nites]

Woooooooooooo!

[BatManu20]

Great start baby

[DMX7]

#Ball So Hard

[007nites]

Kobe got juked by Green

[timvp]

Parker looks like he's back. Splitter playing great so far. Green looks good. Nice aggression by Leonard.

Lakers taking some horrible shots.

[phxspurfan]

120-85 lookin good so far

[bklynspursfan]

Tiago/Tim worked last yr vs Lakers. If we had another big I'd love for them to start

[007nites]

Parker hit a really nice tear drop. I think he's back as well.

[BatManu20]

Hopefully that 3 gets Kawhi going. He's been ice cold and we really need him to hit those. We're a whole new team if he does cause he gets a lot of good looks.

[007nites]

I really hope that Pau keeps on taking 19 footers.

[DMX7]

Billy Mac made a great point though that we're not big and not great on the boards which is a fatal flaw in the playoffs. We won 10 straight, but it caught up to us.

[phxspurfan]

Are these guys really going to talk over the game the whole night

[Juggity]

Lakers will heat up eventually

[timtonymanu]

Leonard always gets called for that.

[BatManu20]

Kobe's gay

[Floyd Pacquiao]

kobe getting the superstar treatment

[timvp]

The scouting report must be to take charges on Kawhi.

[Nathan89]

That faggot said he doesn't take charges.

[BatManu20]

Artest pulling up for 3's now..?

[007nites]

I hate that move that timmy does

[ace3g]

early foul trouble for Kawhi

[DatBoyGood]

dam thats 2 on kawhi already

[Darius McCrary]

Kawhi finishing that was huge. Kobe was blatantly moving, eventually those charges will become and-1's

[Juggity]

Shiiit KL in foul trouble early

[Bill_Brasky]

Kawhi always gets fuckin screwed on those.

[Paranoid Pop]

Kahwi with the offensive foul and then 5 point scored on him...

[ace3g]

SJAX vs Artest should be fun

[Libri]

Meta and Jax in the same arena, uh oh.

[phxspurfan]

Lets see how many foul calls the Lakers get

[lakerhaterade]

Bullshit call

[BatManu20]

That's why I fucking hate Gasol. He's the biggest pussy in the league. Literally screams whenever he feels any contact whatsoever.

[timtonymanu]

And gave it right back.

[ElNono]

every scrub gets a call for them now?

[wut]

this is going to be a long game if the refs are going to call this one-sided.

[timvp]

Welp, so much for the start.

[Darius McCrary]

How many fouls in 3 minutes of playing time is that?

[phxspurfan]

Such is watching Laker games. Apparently they got a ton of calls against the Jazz and still lost.

[benstanfield]

Refs doing a great job, very fair handed.

[lakerhaterade]

every scrub gets a call for them now?
Apparently

[naico]

Wow bullshit officiating early on

[BatManu20]

Spurs went from red hot to ice cold

[Supreme_Being]

Can someone PM me a link please?

[Juggity]

Just wait for the lakers bench to come in :lol

[ElNono]

missing open shots... gotta stick with it

[superjames1992]

MANU IS COMING IN!!!!!!!!!!

[Darius McCrary]

The announcer just said the Lakers "Are just playing basketball right now". Insightful.

[timvp]

Kobe looks locked in, unfortunately.

[007nites]

Haven't seen that in a while

[ace3g]

banker

[007nites]

TP being aggressive

[phxspurfan]

This bud's for you, Duhon

[BatManu20]

Kobe in God mode

[Libri]

bad transition D :/

[BatManu20]

Bad transition D though. Can't leave their best player wide open.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh!!!!! Come on with the defense.

[Ice009]

TP is fucking worthless.

[ace3g]

Diaw plays great defense on Pau

[timvp]

TP is fucking worthless.

Good call.

[DatBoyGood]

Repeat from tony last season in la? lol

[lakerhaterade]

Lakers are hitting a lot of shots tbh.

[lefty]

Blairger to check in

[Darius McCrary]

TP just broke Kobe's ankles. That'll never be seen again.

[wut]

:lol @ the worthless TP post.

[superjames1992]

Is it just me or does Tony often rack up a lot of points early on and then disappear for the rest of the game?

[bklynspursfan]

Great Blair is coming in. Expect Jordan hill to go off lol

[BatManu20]

TP is fucking worthless.
You misspelled *our best player

[ElNono]

we're ok, tbh... just missing open shots after the early barrage

[jestersmash]

Is it just me or does Tony often rack up a lot of points early on and then disappear for the rest of the game?

It's just you.

[007nites]

If only we could play Timmy for the entire game.

[ElNono]

tbh, Spurs depend on what kind of Gary Neal we get off the bench... if it's Portland's Gary, we're winning easily, otherwise, it can be a long night

[superjames1992]

BLAIR WTF!!!!?!?!?!?!?!??!

[Ice009]

well my feed is behind and TP scored twice after I said that.

TD carried his ass for years, now he is the best player and needs to step up and play like it. These are the games, against the teams that he needs to step up against.

He started off piss poor and it looked like he needed someone to carry him again. TD can't carry his ass in all the big match ups like he used to. He needs to step up for these games and be our best player.

[ElNono]

can't make a jumper right now outside of Tony

[MI21]

Not much to be said about the referees.. Spurs defense looks porous and it will need to be Parker + 3pters to get the win..

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Manu's shot looks so stiff. Also Blair is not 6'8.

[wut]

these refs are full of it....already in bonus

[lakerhaterade]

lol loose ball fall. Way to get in the bonus.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why the hell do we keep settling for stupid jump shots?

[superjames1992]

WTF BORIS?!!!!!?!?!??!?!?!?!

[BatManu20]

Diaw....

[timvp]

Did Diaw hurt himself?

[wut]

ugh, ugly.

[BatManu20]

Omg Blair you're horrible

[superjames1992]

WTF NEAL?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

[HI-FI]

Blair...smart man

[timvp]

Rex Grossman sighting.

[lefty]

Wtf

[Juggity]

FT disparity already 6-0

[loveforthegame]

What a disaster.

[DatBoyGood]

Yiiikes..

[Small Fundamental]

Gary Neal with a horrible pass.

[timtonymanu]

Our bench = FAIL right now.

[Libri]

Neal with a horrendous pass

[007nites]

Need to drive into the defense

[loveforthegame]

We should be down more than 6.

[BatManu20]

Besides the first 3 minutes of the game, this quarter has been terrible

[ElNono]

well, that was a terrible last 8 mins

[bklynspursfan]

Awful first quarter

[DatBoyGood]

Lol Hill

[Darius McCrary]

Ginobili has given us nothing. Nothing. He needs to sit his ass on that bench. Unbelievable. It's OKC game 6 all over again, in terms of his uselessness.

[lefty]

Lol 2 black QB plays

[007nites]

We should be down by about 15 the way we played. Consider ourselves lucky.

[timvp]

Unfortunately Manu looks hurt. Pop should pull him if he's not 100%, tbh. No use hurting his back even more for an early regular season game.

[superjames1992]

Ginobili has given us nothing. Nothing. He needs to sit his ass on that bench. Unbelievable. It's OKC game 6 all over again, in terms of his uselessness.
Haters gonna hate.

[Paranoid Pop]

Turnobili.

[024]

spurs' terrible play continues. that was some pretty sad bench production. lakers bench is bad as usual but they have better starters than the spurs. things not looking good at all.

[DAF86]

I don't see Manu playing much more this night, tbh.

[ElNono]

Manu best player of the floor so far... if only Tony would join him, we would have a shot, tbh

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Spurs playing way to sloppy

[Small Fundamental]

Awful first quarterI wouldn't call it awful. We're only down 6. But still, we made some stupid mistakes/missed some easy shots.

[ace3g]

Manu was about 2 iffy offensive foul calls away from giving the Spurs Game 6 vs OKC

[spurfan 21]

it could be worse! just gotta clean it up in the 2nd qt.

[Darius Bieber]

If this continues, the Spurs will lose by 30+.

[BanditHiro]

alright blair injure dwight's back and all will be forgiven.

[Paranoid Pop]

There's a real problem with turnovers, can't deny it at this point.

[timvp]

A gimpy Ginobili and Diaw basically takes away any bench advantage the Spurs theoretically had.

[ElNono]

let me clean up my glasses, tbh

http://www.redbookmag.com/cm/redbook/images/M9/pink-glasses-md.jpg

[timtonymanu]

Need more production from the bench. Come on now.

[benstanfield]

Dejuan Blair is a legitimate NBA player.

[HI-FI]

concerned about how they'll call this on Kawhi. It seems like Stern wants to get the Lakers comeback train moving.

[ElNono]

Lakers are actually a turnover machine... but the Spurs are the team that creates the least turnovers in the league

[007nites]

Boris shoots like a girl lol

[wut]

Dejuan Blair is a legitimate NBA player.

Are you playing like some reverse psychology trick or somethin? :lol

[Ice009]

Ginobili has given us nothing. Nothing. He needs to sit his ass on that bench. Unbelievable. It's OKC game 6 all over again, in terms of his uselessness.

Manu has been beyond useless. I''m yelling at him more than I ever have, and he's only played about 5 games so far this season.

[phxspurfan]

lol @ Neal's defense

[superjames1992]

We need Matt Bonner to come in and give us a spark. He can defend Dwight and Pau by himself.

[DatBoyGood]

Neal...

[Darius Bieber]

Are you playing like some reverse psychology trick or somethin? :lol

Blue text = sarcasm.

[superjames1992]

Blair, you suck. Sorry. It's true.

[InRareForm]

Do Spurs have any points in the paint?

[ElNono]

you wanna talk about giving us nothing? What's Blair doing out there?

[bklynspursfan]

Blair is pathetic

[BatManu20]

We look so shitty right now

[Darius McCrary]

Look at this fucking lineup the Lakers have on the floor. If the Spurs can't outscore this, then say goodnight.

[007nites]

Brick city

[Aiko9245]

Pre-taxes Manu is getting a 170,000-some-odd dollar check. And free travel.

[wut]

Blue text = sarcasm.

oh i had no idea.

[timvp]

Manu with the trotting layup. Nice.

[superjames1992]

Haters, what are you saying about Manu now?!??!?!

[BatManu20]

Manu looks slow and stiff.

[Josepatches_]

Finally Manu did something

[Darius McCrary]

Black Duke player being a black Duke player, tbh.

[Paranoid Pop]

Blair sucks.

[Juggity]

Ready for Neal to shift into god mode

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Good news is that it looks like Ginobili is missing either long or short rather than to the left or right.

[ElNono]

tbh, the Spurs are sucking, but these Lakers are h:lolrrible

[timtonymanu]

Almost a terrible play by Blair. Howard bailed him out.

[ace3g]

Blair lucky, he caught a break, I never want him playing tragic johnson

[007nites]

Manu needs to take it in the paint and maybe draw some fouls to build his confidence

[bklynspursfan]

Blair forcing it? Im shocked

[spurfan 21]

no worries.. our bench will own lakers second unit..

[timvp]

Mau looks slow and stiff.
Ganosili also looks off.

[superjames1992]

Blair is shooting 38.5% this year. Wow, that is awful for a big man.
