ESPN LAKERS- SPURS PREVIEW

San Antonio native Jordan Clarkson (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2528426/jordan-clarkson) has witnessed his share of unforgettable Kobe Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/110/kobe-bryant) performances in Los Angeles Lakers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lal/los-angeles-lakers)' victories over the Spurs. Now Bryant's teammate, he saw what would have been perhaps the most unlikely of them all earlier this month.

In their last ever matchup with Bryant, the Spurs hope to avoid their first back-to-back losses in a year Friday night with All-Star Kawhi Leonard (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/6450/kawhi-leonard) likely to remain sidelined on this rodeo trip.

Bryant, who played in his 18th and final All-Star Game on Sunday, has been a nightmare for the Spurs throughout a 20-year run that's the longest with the same team in league history.

The future Hall of Famer led the Lakers to four series wins in five playoff meetings with San Antonio when healthy. Most notably, he averaged 33.3 points in a Western Conference finals sweep in 2001 before scoring 32.3 in a six-game semifinal win the following season.

"I watched him growing up," Clarkson said. "I watched him kill the Spurs."

Bryant will get one more chance after scoring 16 of his 25 points in the third quarter in a 106-102 loss Feb. 6. The Lakers (11-44) threatened to snap the Spurs' 37-game home winning streak, closing within 101-100 before San Antonio held on in the final 1:12.

Although Bryant has averaged 24.8 points while hitting 26 of 65 (40 percent) from 3-point range in his last six games, West-worst Los Angeles has dropped 17 of its past 20.

The Lakers, losers in three straight, return to Staples Center for the first time since Feb. 2 with an opportunity to win back-to-back games there for only the fourth time since April 2014.

"It's just growing pains," forward Julius Randle (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/3064514/julius-randle) told the team's official website. "Nobody likes losing. We're all super hungry and want to get better, but it's just a learning process."

The Spurs won't be back home for a while as they resume an eight-game road stretch while the San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo takes place at the AT&T Center. They had their six-game winning streak end in the third game of the trek Thursday, 105-86 to the Los Angeles Clippers (http://espn.go.com/nba/team/_/name/lac/los-angeles-clippers).

"The group did not play at a high enough level to win a road game," David West (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2177/david-west)said after the Spurs allowed the Clippers to shoot 50 percent. "We were not solid enough, and obviously we shot the ball like crap in the first half. We just could not execute enough to keep pace with them."
They haven't lost two straight games since dropping four in a row from Feb. 19-25, 2015.

San Antonio, though, is expected to be without Leonard for a second straight game because of calf tightness. The reigning Defensive Player of the Year averages a team-high 20.2 points.

Since scoring 113 per game on 50.9 percent shooting over a seven-game span, the Spurs (45-9) had a 42.7 field-goal percentage in a 98-96 win at Orlando on Feb. 10 and scored a season-low 34 in the first half Thursday before finishing with a 42.2 shooting percentage.
LaMarcus Aldridge (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/2983/lamarcus-aldridge) and Tim Duncan (http://espn.go.com/nba/player/_/id/215/tim-duncan) teamed up for 12 points on 4-of-18 shooting.

They could get back on track against a Lakers team that ranks near the bottom of the league in scoring defense (106.1). San Antonio has averaged 107.7 while winning the first three games in the season series.

The Spurs have won 16 of the past 19 meetings, including the postseason. Aldridge has played well in his two matchups this season, totaling 50 points and 20 rebounds.

That game changed when Pop put Danny on Clarkson & D'Angelo committed two consecutive dumb turnovers (which got him benched) along w/ Kawhi getting serious about checking Kirby

This games is still winnable even with the injuries..
But Kawhi needs to heal fast or this might get ugly.

Timmy's line since coming back from the injury

3.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.5 blocks, 20% shooting in 19 minutes per game.

Rebounds, blocks and assists not too bad on a per minute basis, but 20% shooting is Kobe-esque.

To be fair it has only been 2 games, so it's a pretty damn small sample size. It is unfortunate that Tim seems to have clearly regressed from last year though :depressed

[BillMc]

I wonder how much is regression/age and how much is opportunity. I have no stats to back me up, but my recollection was Tim has been a slow-starter the last few years. That he is likely to miss his first few shots before figuring out what the defense and his aging body will let him do on any given night. With many of his shots that now go to LMA and Kawhi, his attempts are so down I do wonder if he ever really gets a chance to calibrate his offense during a game.

One place that HAS unquestionably regressed is his mid-range shooting. He worked hard to be deadly at the top of the key, but that doesn't seem to be an efficient shot any more. But again, his attempts are down, because LMA, Kwahi and West can all shoot that shot.

Tim's role is less of a scorer this year. Totally because of the system. Nothing to do with him regressing in that department. That's what I see out there.

True a lot of it is about his role. He gets a lot less shots. I almost put up a poll here that said "Will Duncan Ever Have a 20 Point Game Again?" But then decided it was stupid (and a little insulting to a legend). I'm sure he'll have one at least by playoff time when his minutes go up and someone has to deliver. Timmy is nothing if not clutch.

That said, I do wonder if we've seen the last thirty point game of TD's career. Maybe so. Hope he proves me wrong!:toast

I have to watch the Lakers broadcast as the Spurs one is not working on NBA.com

[Kawhitstorm]

Lakers PR guy bragging about most win in history ala the 1990-2007 Celtics b/c the currently team sucks ass:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Blazers gotta win this... better not blow it. Warriors in LA tomorrow to face clips. We have to take care of our business. 1st seed is very much up for grabs

"The game is unavailable due to technical difficulties" on League Pass (only for the Spurs broadcast, Lakers broadcast works)

Lakers announcer complimenting "new guy" Green. :lol

Great D on the first possession.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice D to start.

Slomo!!!!!

Kyle!

[Ron Swanson]

Fathead with the Kawhi impersonation

[Silver&Black]

TP...

Mon Negro.

[Kawhitstorm]

Fag Head:bang

[BatManu20]

Man it's weird seeing Timmy missing so many bunnies this season

[Mnky]

Gif that fathead steal and dunk please.. historical tbh.

[Silver&Black]

TP again...

Mon Negro again.

Not after last night.

Let us not speak of yesterday's dumpster fire. That was an ugly loss.

[raybies]

Anderson lol picking kobe

[SAGirl]

Yea clarkson going off is the danger...

[bklynspursfan]

:lmao

You also think Parker hasn't done anything to help us be successful, so excuse me if I don't take your comments to mean much lol

[TXstbobcat]

Tony and 1!!!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Vintage TP in the paint...

Mon Negro.

[Ron Swanson]

Tony +1

[SAGirl]

Timmy's jumper is gone...

[Beaverfuzz]

Let us not speak of yesterday's dumpster fire. That was an ugly loss.

What dumpster fire? This is the first game back from the all star break right?

[TampaDude]

Spurs will win this shit. Book it.

[Silver&Black]

BTW...Parker didn't even get touched.

:tu Nice Flop

[Spurtacular]

Not sure who's slower: Kobe or Slow Mo.

[sasaint]

Hibbert better look out for Tony! :lol

[rasuo214]

I guess the Spurs weren't the only team to come out a bit lame from the ASB, Warriors losing by almost 20 points to the Blazers in the 1st half.

[Kawhitstorm]

You also think Parker hasn't done anything to help us be successful, so excuse me if I don't take your comments to mean much lol

According to your logic, Karl Malone being labeled as choker by his fellow HOFers also means he hasn't done anything in his career. Excellent reading comprehension dumbass:wakeup

[bklynspursfan]

Not after last night.

Why? We can't read too much into these kinds of games. Minus kawhi, long break, etc... stranger things have happened . GS isn't unstoppable and their schedule will get tougher too

[r0drig0lac]

Blazers 58-40 wtf

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy's jumper is gone...

It happens. I'm Timmy's age and my jumper isn't what is used to be.

[sasaint]

Timmy's jumper is gone...

I fear his short game is, too, tbh.

[Mnky]

What dumpster fire? This is the first game back from the all star break right?

Blazers put up 40 on the warriors in the first quarter.
Thunder choked against the pacers at home.

It happens quite a bit after the all star break.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy and 1!!!!!!!!!

[spursparker9]

Timvp

[Ron Swanson]

Not quite yet.

[$pursDynasty]

Danny needs to run his defenders through screens like Reddick does. JJ impressed me with that last night.

[BatManu20]

Timmy!

[Silver&Black]

Timmy and 1...

[steeledl]

TimmmmmYyyyyy

[Kawhitstorm]

Blazers 58-40 wtf

Blazers were also up by 50 on the Cavs at the Moda center. Nothing new, they usually tend to destroy elite teams in Portland every season.

[SAGirl]

TD!!! so glad to see him getting his too.

[BatManu20]

Looks like Lou Williams is gonna be the scrub of choice to go off on the Spurs tonight per par

[TheGreatYacht]

They hitting fluky shots. Good start offensively tho

[r0drig0lac]

Timmy looking slow

[Hoops Czar]

Defense is terrible.

[SAGirl]

Williams making crazy sideways jumpers at this point.

You went and found all these games/series "Porker" (that's what you call him right) didn't do good. And you feel how he wasn't the best player in any run? Uh... what? Yea...

And idgaf about Malone, not sure why he even came up...

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny must not have gotten the memo that Lou Williams likes to go to his left.:wakeup

[BillMc]

Lakers hitting difficult shots. It won't last...

[BatManu20]

Come on Danny

[Mnky]

Yeah but warriors...

Warriors blazers would be a fun first round match-up. Itd be a shootout every game..
