Round 1, Game 2: Spurs vs. Lakers - April 24 @ 8:30 PM CT

[Libri]

Yeah...Small sample but looks like i was wrong about Bonner...

Still a lot of games for him to fak up. Hope he doesn't though, tbh.

[Uriel]

Get Tim and TP out of there.

[TDomination]

good to see parker hitting that!

[milkyway21]

Leonard 8-12 FG
Manu 3-4 3ptr
Bonner 2-2 3ptr

[Spursfanfromafar]

Okay.. folks.. saying it rather early.. But I sense a 4-0 sweep. The Spurs' offensive mojo is back and their defense is all-world. Don't think the Lakers can sniff a win, even at Staples.

[loveforthegame]

Nice block KL.

[EVAY]

Okay.. folks.. saying it rather early.. But I sense a 4-0 sweep. The Spurs' offensive mojo is back and their defense is all-world. Don't think the Lakers can sniff a win, even at Staples.


Don't underestimate the refs.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green even sucks in garbage time.

[TheGoldStandard]

Oh god Danny Green

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs getting complacent,

[wut]

Don't underestimate the refs.
This tbh.

[milkyway21]

Green :cuss

[TDomination]

splitter made that

[superjames1992]

Did Tiago just tip that in?

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green needs to get his ass nailed to the bench

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I think the Spurs win the series 4-1. I don't think they will sweep, but they will still convincingly knock the Lakers out of the playoffs,

[HI-FI]

Danny Green needs to be just stay on the bench

[LakerHater]

C'Mon!!

[loveforthegame]

Green the hell?

[Libri]

Okay.. folks.. saying it rather early.. But I sense a 4-0 sweep. The Spurs' offensive mojo is back and their defense is all-world. Don't think the Lakers can sniff a win, even at Staples.

jinx :madrun

[RD2191]

LOL

[TDomination]

get manu in now

[Ice009]

For fucks sake Danny. fucking crap player.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

9-point lead with three minutes. I'm getting a bit nervous.

[wut]

Throwing this game away

[superjames1992]

See, guys, we take out the Red Mamba and it all goes to hell.

[Uriel]

Bring back Matt Bonner.

[TheGoldStandard]

Why did Pop put Green back in? For what?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Let Leonard play MWP 1 on 1, no reason for Splitter to leave Howard to help Leonard guard MWP.

[Brunodf]

Why is Green running the show?

[HarlemHeat37]

Danny Green checks in, immediate run..

[spurspokesman]

For fucks sake Danny. fucking crap player.this

[davidbowie]

Danny green I hate you

[EVAY]

Whoever that guy number zero is has fouled Tony every time for the last four trips down the court.

[crc21209]

Why the hell were we taking such quick shots early in the shot clock!?!?!? Use clock!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Execute motherfuckers.

[wut]

3 mins is a lot of time, just ask Tracy McGrady. Lol

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Just two and a half minutes. A 9-point lead can't be that hard to protect, can it? Just hold on to the ball for 20 seconds at a time, take three pointers.

[hater]

:lmao green what the fuck

[superjames1992]

For a veteran team, we really suck at closing out games, tbh.

[Uriel]

Okay.. folks.. saying it rather early.. But I sense a 4-0 sweep. The Spurs' offensive mojo is back and their defense is all-world. Don't think the Lakers can sniff a win, even at Staples.
You jinxed it, fucker. :lol

[milkyway21]

LAL 6 pts in 2min?

[DatBoyGood]

Turning into the OKC houston game...

[spurspokesman]

Why the hell were we taking such quick shots early in thr shot clock!?!?!? Use clock!!!!!!!this

[TheGoldStandard]

I'd trade Green for some magic beans

[Spurs Brazil]

Green is a big liability. He should not play more than 10 minutes, he sucks

[EVAY]

Who was it that wanted the starters pulled with 5 minutes left?

[LakerHater]

Less green, more Neal!

Danny Green 0 pts 0-4 FG 2 rebs 2 ast 1 blk 1 stl in 18 minutes

[JingleJangleJingle]

we are going to lose aren't we :(

[TheGoldStandard]

T-Mac can't be worse than Green..

[SpurPadre]

Bring back Matt Bonner.

Wow...never thought I'd read this sentence, not even from the kid who has his face for a haircut.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

lol just give the ball to tp and run pnr with tim and tiago

[100%duncan]

I'd play De Colo over faggot Green tbh.

[milkyway21]

3 mins is a lot of time, just ask Tracy McGrady. Lol


:lmao

[spursparker9]

Why did the spurs sign Green for 3 years?

[CGD]

Danny Green is why the Spurs will keep Neal next year. Dude is playing scared out there

[superjames1992]

Bonner and Manu in. We're good, guys.

[RD2191]

Calm down folks. We have nothing to be worried about according to havoc.

[LakerHater]

GOALTEND!!

[Fireball]

I have the feeling that not playing many minutes in the regular season helped him ... Bonner I mean

[Cry Havoc]

TP stepping up, yet again.

[JingleJangleJingle]

so fucking obvious

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Blake injured? Uh oh!

[Uriel]

This is the Spurs' best 5-man unit against the Lakers. They should use this to close out games in Staples when the games get tougher.

[Man In Black]

Steve Blake...Hamstring Strain!

[EVAY]

Parker has learned from Manu that if your shot is not there, you should get to the foul line to get some scores. So he is doing it.

[Cry Havoc]

MVP chants for Tony in SA

People calling for his head in chat. Hilarious.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That might be it.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

Parker, sealing the deal.

[LakerHater]

LOVE IT GINO!!

[milkyway21]

that Pop sub Neal -Green was a head-scratcher lol

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

OK, a 100-point game please.

[TMTTRIO]

bad idea to be playing Manu when they don't need him anymore

[Man In Black]

that Pop sub Neal -Green was a head-scratcher lol

That was to build Danny's confidence...then he went TANGA and fucked it all up. That's why DG is on the bench again.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony just killin' it.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Why is TP and Manu still in?

[100%duncan]

That was to build Danny's confidence...then he went TANGA and fucked it all up. That's why DG is on the bench again.
Bobo si Green amputa.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

That would go in!

[TDomination]

to see that beautiful play happen

[Timmy4ever]

nice pass MAnu

[Cry Havoc]

Why is TP and Manu still in?

You don't take chances in the playoffs.

[DatBoyGood]

reminded me of that play in the WCF

[superjames1992]

7 assists for Manu.....

[LakerHater]

Why'd you leave your feet Leonard!

[Uriel]

That's the nail in the coffin right there.
:flag:

[milkyway21]

Bobo si Green amputa.

lol

[Brunodf]

Great win

[loveforthegame]

Too bad Pop won't yell at Green like that.

[bklynspursfan]

If Parker can carry this play into Friday nights game, we can really slam the door on these guys

[Horse]

Who knew all we needed was Bonner to be more aggressive maybe he's finally shaking his playoff jitters.

[TMTTRIO]

I don't understand why Manu's still in the game when the game's out of reach. Bad idea

[superjames1992]

Matt Bonner: +31!

[100%duncan]

Damn good to see Manu continuing his magic from the 1st game and TP finally being his old self.

[TheGoldStandard]

Hahah Reggie Miller still bending over for the lakers

[Cry Havoc]

Reggie, "I'm not ready to throw in the towel for the Lakers" Miller. :lmao :lmao :lmao

[SpurPadre]

If Manu feels healthy enough to start again and Pop gives it the OK, this will be an easy sweep.

[HI-FI]

least Danny got that.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Green scored!

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

100 points and the Spurs beat Lakers. Doesn't get much better than this as a Spurs fan.

[superjames1992]

Danny Green. Nice.

[Paulie]

Green clutch, tbh :lol

[100%duncan]

Green is the new Bonner everybody.

[ilovethespurs]

Yehey! Gumawa rin si Green sa wakas!:lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

100 points and the Spurs beat Lakers. Doesn't get much better than this as a Spurs fan.

You forgot the part about it being in the playoffs. ;)

[LakerHater]

Not impressed Green, gotta do it durin meaninful minutes!!!

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

You forgot the part about it being in the playoffs. ;)

Yes, yes, that too.

[Man In Black]

Since Bean is out with the Achilles, the only other player in recent NBA history that score in bunches is sitting on the Spurs Bench. TMac!

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win. Manu and Kawhi were great. Tony was Tony in the 2nd half and Bonner put together 2 good games in a row in the Playoffs.

Now we need to win on the road

[loveforthegame]

:bang

[LakerHater]

DUMBASSES!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

damn fans cheering too loud, green couldn't hear the ref

[JingleJangleJingle]

lol at the bookie

[Brunodf]

Shot clock guy is sleeping, that shit started too late

[Uriel]

FUCK YOU MORRIS RUINING OUR POINT DIFFERENTIAL.

[milkyway21]

this win is a team effort - Manu/Leonard/TP (in the 2nd half)

Spurs with 2-0 to LA is better than 1-1

good contribution from Neal & Bonner

[Paulie]

Damn, let them pas 90 points

[Captivus]

are you kidding me!!

[Spurminator]

Damn, hope that didn't affect the line...

[Budkin]

That was fucking pathetic.

[100%duncan]

fuckin scrub hittin a 3 to make it look closer

[Raven]

lol at morris shooting, pathetic

[Ice009]

That backcourt violation and three pisses me off. WTF.

[Captivus]

Blair +10!

[Man In Black]

DG...mental midget.

[HI-FI]

Lakers love them garbage points. Pathetic. Taking cues from their leader.

[RD2191]

WTF WAS THAT

[TheGoldStandard]

Love that Miller shut the fuck up for the last 2 minutes..

[Cry Havoc]

I have a game link if anyone needs.

Spurs 105 as Parker finds his rhythm.
Lakers 94 as our D stays strong.

High scorers:
Parker 26
Gasol 19

High rebounds:
Duncan 11
Howard 13

Go Spurs Go.

Close enough.

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Reggie, "I'm not ready to throw in the towel for the Lakers" Miller. :lmao :lmao :lmao

I loled...what magic does Reggie Miller see that could have the Lakers beat the Spurs 4 out of the next five?

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

You know it's been a good game when Spurs fans are complaining about the Lakers closing the final margin of victory to 11 points instead of 14.

[HI-FI]

people joke that Green is the new Bonner but I don't remember Bonner being this out of it. Green really worries me right now. His confidence is shaken too easily.

[Spurs and Mavs fan]

I loled...what magic does Reggie Miller see that could have the Lakers beat the Spurs 4 out of the next five?

Well, the 2006 Mavs and 2012 Spurs held 2-0 series leads over the Heat and Thunder, respectively. A 2-0 lead isn't invincible.

[TheGoldStandard]

Unless Pau goes for 30 and Howard goes for 40 in 4 games the Lakers are done

[crc21209]

:lol At Reggie Miller saying the Staples Center crowd brings "energy". :lol Get the fuck outta here..

[Man In Black]

KEVIN DING ‏@KevinDing 16s
Blake had to be helped up off the Lakers' bench at the end of the game. He's limping off the court.

[Tim_duncan21]

YAY! 2-0!

[LakerHater]

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny Green is an expensive cog that we overpaid because of his regular season accomplishments.... no trade value either, he'll end up sitting on the bench next year till we can dump him.. maybe we can get a nice trade for a pick or something.

[milkyway21]

just win game 3 ... one game @ a time

[bluebellmaniac]

just win game 3 ... one game @ a time
+1

[milkyway21]

I like Green he's just off tonight..

[Juggity]

:lol Blake injury being the straw that broke the camel's back

:lol Lakers

:lol Kobe

[TheGoldStandard]

I bet D'Antoni tries to run Blake out there game 3.. he won't be able to play with a sprain.

[Ice009]

Spurs are gonna get destroyed on the road if they keep playing like this.

I'm going to fucking destroy you for your scared shitless pansy attitude. Your posts are the same level as Danny Green's game lately. Go take a seat next to Danny and shut up.

[ace3g]

http://www.nba.com/spurs/live

press conference is on now, Pop is up

[siraulo23]

This is by far the best game the spurs have played in a long, long time

Great to see TP back in rhythm, he finally looked like himself, thats the best thing out of this game

[RD2191]

I'm going to fucking destroy you for your scared shitless pansy attitude. Your posts are the same level as Danny Green's game lately. Go take a seat next to Danny and shut up.

lol

[DesignatedT]

Still a lot of games for him to fak up. Hope he doesn't though, tbh.

Oh yeah. We still need Diaw back ASAP but Bonner has played a great 2 games. Pretty incredible against this front line.

[Ice009]

Hahah Reggie Miller still bending over for the lakers

I'm going to have to start putting the rest of the games on mute. Miller is a total Lakers cocksucker. Fucking shit commentator. I can't believe I liked this guy as a player back in the 90s.

[Ice009]

DG...mental midget.

Danny has got a limited game. He can't dribble or do much else apart from shoot the ball. I can't decide if he is a mental midget or just not good enough skill wise to be starting in the playoffs.

[TypicalBJ]

my buddy: "Now all we need is a 3 to put the game away"

Matt Bonner: *hits 3* :toast

[TheGoldStandard]

Danny has one job... just shoot the ball and make it go in, won't take shots and when he does its crap.. Pair that with shitty defense and he should be behind Patty Mills

[Ice009]

KEVIN DING ‏@KevinDing 16s
Blake had to be helped up off the Lakers' bench at the end of the game. He's limping off the court.

That's what happens when he tries to guard TP like a prime Gary Payton. I don't think he is used to playing defense as hard as he has been, and it may have cost him.

[Man In Black]

Danny has got a limited game. He can't dribble or do much else apart from shoot the ball. I can't decide if he is a mental midget or just not good enough skill wise to be starting in the playoffs.
He, even moreso than DeJuan, overthinks everything. He just doesn't Play. He thinks about everything and then he goes beyond what is needed or stops short. It's fucking mind-numbing. However, it seems as if Bonner has remembered that he can make 3 pointers in the 2nd season and that's huge for the Spurs.

[Ice009]

lol

you're posting and acting like a complete pansy. laugh at yourself all you want.

Spurs played a decent game tonight.

We've had injuries, we've finished the season off not so great, so playing a game like this is a decent step.

[Ice009]

He, even moreso than DeJuan, overthinks everything. He just doesn't Play. He thinks about everything and then he goes beyond what is needed or stops short. It's fucking mind-numbing. However, it seems as if Bonner has remembered that he can make 3 pointers in the 2nd season and that's huge for the Spurs.

I'm wondering if he should be benched right now earlier in the playoffs rather than keep giving him more chances.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

You... do realize that Parker isn't healthy, right?

Right?

Fucking Spurs fans.

I never said Manu was shitting on Parker, I was saying that he was shitting on the CoP. I like Parker and Manu tbqh

Fucking Spurs fans.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Is it just me or is, Ric Renner drunk?

[Sec24Row7]

Couple observations..

God Dantoni is a horrible playoff coach...

Dwight Howard isn't a hall of famer at the end of his career. Calling it now. He has no late career potential because he hasn't worked on footwork and big man tricks. He's all athleticism.

Steve Blake is the most mental tough guy the lakers have left... Err had left.

[Spur|n|Austin]

God Dantoni is a horrible playoff coach...
D'antoni has always been so sad, and almost pitiful during press conferences; almost feel bad for him and Nashy

Fair enough. Neither really deserve to be mentioned because they're player fanbases not team fanbases.

[DrSteffo]

So Manu is Manu again...yessss

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Well, the 2006 Mavs and 2012 Spurs held 2-0 series leads over the Heat and Thunder, respectively. A 2-0 lead isn't invincible.

You're joking right? This is a team that is counting on Steve Blake to dominate. Say that out loud. Steve Blake has to dominate for the Lakers to have a chance. We're not talking about any legitimate superstar here. And yes that includes Dwight Howard. He is getting exposed for having a lack of an offensive game.

[outmap]

lol


Green is the new Bonner everybody.


Yehey! Gumawa rin si Green sa wakas!:lol


Since Bean is out with the Achilles, the only other player in recent NBA history that score in bunches is sitting on the Spurs Bench. TMac!

Filipinos represent! :D

[capek]

Was at the first night of Moontower, instead of watching the game. :wow

Naw, doesn't even feel like the playoffs tbh, no fear at all. Just watching the game now, and had to come in and contribute now redundant HOLY SHIT at Kawhi's alley oop. Holy shit was that some boss shit! :tu

[Budkin]

Hah I went nuts when that happened. I can't even remember the last time the Spurs had a one handed alley oop.

[Sean Cagney]

I like Green he's just off tonight..

He has been off the last few playoffs lol.. Seriously.

[Sean Cagney]

Danny has got a limited game. He can't dribble or do much else apart from shoot the ball. I can't decide if he is a mental midget or just not good enough skill wise to be starting in the playoffs.

He is not good enough, he has one skill and it's a three ball! He is a mental midget on top of not being good enough though so that is a double whammy ICE!

[capek]

Hah I went nuts when that happened. I can't even remember the last time the Spurs had a one handed alley oop.

That was the best Spurs alley oop I can remember since Robinson was making 'em passe. Such a sick play! The dunk Kawhi had off the break a bit later was pretty fucking nasty as well.

Kawhi seems to be figuring it out. Manu is shooting lights out. I'm just at halftime, but it sounds like Tony had a great second half. Reasons to start getting excited? I wonder aloud.

[Arcadian]

That play when Manu behind-the-back-passed to Parker for the corner 3 reminded me of game 2 against OKC last year.

Let's hope the remainder of the series doesn't remind me of that series. 2-0 will never feel comfortable again.

[TampaDude]

2-0, folks! On to Los Angeles!

GO SPURS GO!!!!!

[LakerHater]

Fight, Fight!!

[41times]

just win game 3 ... one game @ a time

When the Spurs shoot 50% from 3pt land they are Unbeatable.
Hell if they shoot 40% from 3pt. land they might be unbeatable.

The only way the Spurs lose a game is if they shoot less than 40% from 3.
