Game Thread: Spurs vs. Lakers - Nov. 3, 2019 @ 6:00 PM CT

[timvp]

Here's Kori's preview and prediction: https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-los-angeles-lakers/

FTL.

[Yogatti]

Let's win this one :flag:

[TheRemix]

Can't wait to see the arena have more Lakers fans than Spurs fans..

[Larry O]

Thanks Kori for the preview and the prediction! I'm concerned with the starting lineup's scoring. Lots of iso ball with LMA and DDR, and the three point shooting can be of concern. Hope that Murray can take better care of the ball. I agree that the 2nd unit will have to out perform the Lakers' 2nd unit to give the Good Guys a chance to win. James will be a match up problem, especially when he plays bully ball. Davis may be a problem, too, so I hope that LMA and Lyles will bring their A-game. I know that historically, LMA has played well against Davis. Hoping that the Spurs will play with energy and the whole 48 minutes, too. Enjoy the game everyone, and GSG!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

1st seed vs 2nd seed in the west. Let's get that #1 spot.
Good analysis, I expect Poeltl to play some minutes next to LMA regardless of if he starts or not. Aldridge will have to match Davis' production to cancel him out. Also wouldn't be surprised if Pop tries Carroll on James for a few minutes

[heyheymymy]

Man this site fuckin rocks LJ. Prompt grades threads and game discussion. Thanks for everything man.

Just need an official Riga time converter and were set.

Go spurs go!

[monty4329]

The lakers have impressive in the 4th quarters, it will be very hard to bring home this one. I think the Lakers have the advantage, but hopefully they lay one away from LA.

I am very curious to see if LW gets some minutes.

[timtonymanu]

Gonna be a tough game. Let’s hope the Spurs can get it. Should be another nice ovation for LDN

[cd021]

Murray tends to show out against the Lakers, hoping for a big game for him.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lakerrefs will show up as well. They already fucked the Mavs over to get LeBron the win

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

both teams have had pretty softy schedules so far. no reason it shouldn’t be a close affair

[RD2191]

Spurs better win tonight if they want to be taken seriously.

[BatManu20]

Will be a tough one for the Spurs to win tbh. Lakers have a lot of length with AD, McGee, Lebron, LDN, etc. Will give our undersized Guards trouble. And AD and LeBron have been ballin’. Don’t know if LaMarcus and our guys can keep up. Here’s to trying. GSG.

[jjktkk]

A good early test for this team.

[spurs10]

FTL

Thank you Kori and timvp!

:flag:

[Rosewood]

I have a feeling we win this one.

What's the RIGA time?

[DC23]

I really like our changes tonight if we win the rebound battle.

[r0drig0lac]

I really like our changes tonight if we win the rebound battle.

I would really be surprised if that happened

[Fireball]

when lebron goes to work like he did in Dallas it will be tough ... we have nobody to match up with him

let Bradley Beal shoot everytime tbh

:flag:

[Leetonidas]

LA usually plays well against AD but I'm not gonna hold my breath

[Mugen]

Let's hope Patty, Beli, and Derozan are up to the task of guarding LeBron :lobt2:

[JPB]

Let's hope Patty, Beli, and Derozan are up to the task of guarding LeBron :lobt2:

where's Dante when you need him?

[JPB]

Don't know if they'll pull this one but I expect spurs to be very competitive, specially DJ and LMA.

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[BatManu20]

DeMar’s been attacking.

1191040102765608961

[BackHome]

I think Lebron shot his load playing something like 40 minutes against Dallas. Unless he juices before the game I think his tank will be empty.

[r0drig0lac]

DeMar’s been attacking.

1191040102765608961

excellent, yet I would like him to work off ball with White or Murray

[KayBee]

Parker needs to dominate Fisher.
FTL!

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I think Lebron shot his load playing something like 40 minutes against Dallas. Unless he juices before the game I think his tank will be empty.

No way.

[Genovaswitness]

hope lebron gets a career ending injury tonight

[Uriel]

Spurs and Lakers battling for the #1 seed in the West. Just like old times.

[3&D_TBH]

Dejounte will be hyped for this game. If he plays well and we get average contributions from Derozan and LA, plus a little bench energy, we could win this one. Should be a fun one.

[gambit1990]

the goat was great on friday. 39 points, 16 assists, 12 rebounds.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfSGWuGlALQ

[FkLA]

Spurs got this. Double digit win, tbh.

Good stuff. Only thing better than the Spurs beating the Lakers is the Spurs beating the Lakers and the Rockets lose too.

[LkrFan]

Scott Foster is the crew chief tonight :lol

[Coach X]

Another interesting game in the beginning of the season. There is a lot to look at facing this new Lakers team:

- Liles vs Davis? Is Pop playing the 2 big line up at some point?
- McGee has had recent success defending Aldridge. How about tonight? and Howard? Are the Spurs short for the bigs battle under the rim? Minutes for Eubanks?
- Who takes Lebron and what kind of team defense do the Spurs play?
- DeRozan vs elite defenders Green and Bradley.
- Murray and White impact in the game in both ends of the court.
- Pace preferred and game plan designed by coaches?

Let's have fun. And FTL!

[r0drig0lac]

64-32 damn

[007nites]

Here we go. Super pumped for this game.

[007nites]

can't find a proper spurs stream. They are all laker ones.

[Ron Swanson]

Let’s see how far we get into the game before this bitch melts down.

[r0drig0lac]

LDN!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Nice dish by Murray

[007nites]

forbs!

[BatManu20]

Spurs blew an opportunity to start the game off 10-0 tbh. Refs aren’t helping.

[BatManu20]

So many empty seats.. smh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Dejonte Murray still can't hit a pull up jumper.

[Degoat]

Guys need to be more aggressive offensively

[007nites]

why we giving snoop a jersey?

[Slippy]

Demar couldn't resist then. Lebron out in the open why bother.

Wonder if pop will bench him for retard play.

[kjhip1]

I swear derozen’s defensive footwork is garbage.

[Ron Swanson]

Coyote gave Snoop a Spurs jersey

[r0drig0lac]

Lyles...

[r0drig0lac]

Carroll in

[Keepin' it real]

How is this game not nationally televised??? It's LeBum!!

[BatManu20]

As I stated in my pre-game post, Spurs are struggling against the Lakers’ length. Can’t attack the basket with AD and/or McGee in right now with our undersized Guards. And they’re making the PnR difficult for us.

[007nites]

As I stated in my pre-game post, Spurs are struggling against the Lakers’ length. Can’t attack the basket with AD and/or McGee in right now with our undersized Guards.

We have to beat them from the outside with ball movement

[XDT76]

Other than PG, the Lakers had advantage in the SL in all positions.

[007nites]

Our best time to comeback will be when AD is out.

[Robz4000]

As soon as I saw Scott Foster was officiating I knew a blowout loss was coming tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

Carroll >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marco

[BatManu20]

Refs have been trash so far.

[007nites]

Refs have been trash so far.

true

[Kurgan]

Defrozen and Softridge a combined 1-7 to start the first. Can't wait until both of these losers are gone. Sick of watching their ugly, inefficient games.

[007nites]

We have to make them pay for these turnovers.

[007nites]

Defrozen and Softridge a combined 1-7 to start the first. Can't wait until both of these losers are gone. Sick of watching their ugly, inefficient games.

Which is odd because Aldridge usually shits on McGee

[BatManu20]

KCP & AD hitting 3’s against us. Could be a long night tbh.

[Robz4000]

Spurs' inability to shoot and make threes consistently is gonna cost them a playoff spot.

[007nites]

KCP & AD hitting 3’s against us. Could be a long night tbh.

Just need to keep is close at competitive

[XDT76]

Carroll >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Marco

lol, I'm pretty sure not much people on here doubted that

[007nites]

We have to contests shots better. Beside that our defense is looking pretty good. I think the Spurs game plan was to give the Lakers more space at the 3 and bundle up the paint.

[BatManu20]

Wtf was that Rudy

[r0drig0lac]

better than expected

[Uriel]

Carroll is such a baller. Why the hell didn't we play him sooner?

[TheRemix]

Lmao what the fuck Rudy

[TheRemix]

Like the energy from the bench

[Uriel]

Weekend night home game against the Lakers for the #1 seed in the West, and there are so many empty seats? San Antonio fans are disgusting.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How in the world are we only down 1? Incredible

[TheRemix]

Weekend night home game against the Lakers for the #1 seed in the West, and there are so many empty seats? San Antonio fans are disgusting.

They have no passion.

[Robz4000]

Weekend night home game against the Lakers for the #1 seed in the West, and there are so many empty seats? San Antonio fans are disgusting.

They're all paid for, it's just that these companies buy lower level seats in bulk for employees/clients/etc but don't use them.

[Slippy]

Wtf Rudy trash last shot. This second unit defensively did well, got a run going at the end there.

Don't like seeing DWhite standing pat watching Rudy and Patty dominate the ball.

[007nites]

Weekend night home game against the Lakers for the #1 seed in the West, and there are so many empty seats? San Antonio fans are disgusting.

I honestly don't get that

[Spurs fever]

Carrol

[XDT76]

Damn what is Beli doing in there

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[Cry Havoc]

Maybe we can actually make a 3?

[Cry Havoc]

KCP is keeping us in this game :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Damn what is Beli doing in there

[Spurs fever]

Beli is horrible

[BatManu20]

2nd unit has played hard. Got us back in the game. They look gassed though. Get the starters back in.

[Cry Havoc]

There we go Rudy!

[007nites]

Lakers need AD and Lebron in the game at the same time to do damage. This is our best time to get a big lead.

[TheRemix]

Belinelli needs to shoot the fucking ball when he gets the pass. Stop with the slow ass pump fake you got enough space to shoot..

[Kurgan]

Lakers will regain the lead when those two soft losers reenter the game(Defrozen and LMA)

[Shakril]

Poeltl plays excellent Defense. I like.

[timtonymanu]

How are the Rockets looking bad so far?

[timtonymanu]

:lol Snoop Dogg frontrunning faggot

[TheRemix]

The fuck is this lineup pop :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Pop is unbelievable

[Rosewood]

I've truly grown to hate Belinelli.

[XDT76]

The fuck is this lineup pop :lol

That's what I thought too.

[DeRozan m8]

DeMar gets the offensive rebound and has a wide open 3 and still doesn't even consider it

Fml

[007nites]

Derozan playing the 4?

[Rosewood]

DeMar gets the offensive rebound and has a wide open 3 and still doesn't even consider it

Fml :lol just ain't his game bub.

[007nites]

DeMar gets the offensive rebound and has a wide open 3 and still doesn't even consider it

Fml

Probably a good choice not to

[Slippy]

Ya Murrays jumper looks wrong.

[XDT76]

I already can't stand it when DDR play SF, now he is playing PF. It's like WTF

[Uriel]

Why again didn't we sign Howard?

[Rosewood]

Is that bubbles?!?

[timtonymanu]

What does Pop expect when he’s playing small? :lol senile shit

[Rosewood]

Why again didn't we sign Howard? Probably because he got the pipe laid to him by a crossdresser.

[Shakril]

I would be happy if Belli would not play. He misses so many shots from 3 that you can let Poeltl shoot them, no difference.

[r0drig0lac]

Walker could literally sit on the court and yet it wouldn't be so useless when Marco

[spurs1990]

What's up with Marco. He couldn't try to play any worse on offense. He's taking contested shots and passing up wide open ones.

[007nites]

Forbes is taking too many shots

[BatManu20]

Come on DeMar.. Please don’t suck this game

[TheRemix]

That nig lebron is a train

[Shakril]

Pop should play Poeltl as much as possible. Lakers are killing Spurs inside.

[Slippy]

Derozan even at Pf still going to shoot crap Pop. Marco at Sf. Wow

[timtonymanu]

Smh Demar

[Shakril]

Come on DeMar.. Please don’t suck this game

He always sucks against Lebron.

[TheRemix]

Pop should play Poeltl as much as possible. Lakers are killing Spurs inside.

Yeah poeltl and LA need to be on the floor together at some point

[Kurgan]

DeMar gets the offensive rebound and has a wide open 3 and still doesn't even consider it

Fml

Anthony Davis is a 7 footer and he has three point range. Demar is truly a pathetic player when you consider how long he's been in the league and how little he's improved. He's still the same shitty Kmart Kobe that he was five years. The elite players will continue to keep improving their game every summer(Kawhi for example) while the losers are content to stay stagnant(Derozan and Aldridge)

[Rosewood]

Lakers getting free throws everytime they touch the ball :lol

[sasaint]

Probably because he got the pipe laid to him by a crossdresser.

Honestly, does he have HIV or something? He looks like Dwight's skinny little brother. He has lost a lot of bulk.

[timtonymanu]

Forbes just missing everything

[Robz4000]

This team is much worse from three than last year, which I didn't think was possible.

[Slippy]

Thats funny davis on demar. No help even

[r0drig0lac]

Demar sucks

[TheRemix]

Demar guarding AD :lol this team..

[BatManu20]

Spurs trying to defend AD with DeMar and it keeps resulting in dunks... shocker

[Leetonidas]

This teams offense is so cancerous

[timtonymanu]

Demar guarding AD :lol

[007nites]

Thats funny davis on demar. No help even

lol

[007nites]

Now White on AD LOL

[timtonymanu]

Soft Spurs

[Kurgan]

Derozan is such a terrible player. Can't believe this bipolar retard thinks he's worth the max.

[Shakril]

If Pop does not Play poeltl more today, than i dont know what this kid has to do, to get more minutes. Play great 9 minutes, was an inside Presence, but yeah play marco for shitty 9 minutes with no reason to be on the court.

[Rosewood]

Derozan is such a terrible player. Can't believe this bipolar retard thinks he's worth the max. I'm really hoping we don't max him.

[boutons_deux]

36% FG, WTF

[timtonymanu]

Derozan is such a terrible player. Can't believe this bipolar retard thinks he's worth the max.

Even worse is PATFO considering it and apologist saying we should wait the year to see if he’s worth it as if his game isn’t already limited enough

[Robz4000]

Davis absolutely embarrassing LMA out there.

[TheRemix]

No foul on LA?

[timtonymanu]

Davis vs Aldridge, no contest.

[007nites]

Good D by White

[Robz4000]

:lmao this team

[Leetonidas]

Pathetic :lmao

[BatManu20]

Lol Spurms

[007nites]

We've gotten zero open shots

[Genovaswitness]

team keeps it close against good teams, spaz out and play like shit, end up giving it away huge :lmao

back to last year :lmao

this is why kawhi left :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Spurs are so fucking retarded at guarding end of quarter heaves. This must happen against them at a higher frequency than than most teams

[TheRemix]

This team sucks.

[Kurgan]

By far the ugliest Spurs team I've ever seen.

[Genovaswitness]

nice defense derozan you fucking retard :lmao

[Rosewood]

Jesus fucking christ.

[Darius Bieber]

Absolute trash

[timtonymanu]

Game over. No chance of competing when our two “stars” aren’t giving anything out there.

[Spurs fever]

No words.

[Robz4000]

This team somehow got worse than last year's team.

[Mugen]

:lmao I wonder if the old man is going to call out anybody being else for being non-competitive this game????

I'm sure the Pop Seat Sniffers are just queuing up their CIA Pop throwing this game excuse

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Talent disparity is staggering, especially when Murray isn't a difference maker and passive.

[TheRemix]

You really can't expect much when DeMidrange and Lafadeawy are your best players.

[Kurgan]

Game over. No chance of competing when our two “stars” aren’t giving anything out there.

Even if they gave everything, it wouldn't matter because their games are terrible. Two mid range chuckers that rely on ugly fadeaways as their go to move.

[timtonymanu]

Shouldn’t be surprising we suck when we can only dominate against a tanking G League team. This team has too much to work on if they want to be taken seriously

[Mugen]

The Derozan guarding LeBron then AD might be post 2014 Pop's Masterpiece tbh :lol

[sasaint]

I think Pop's great lineups got the Lakers untracked. Dumbmar at PF... Carroll an early cameo, then on to Marco, as usual. Messed up stuff.

[Slippy]

Demar iso on Lebron for the final play. That guy is bringing this team down.

[TheAmateon]

Our offense tonight (and, to be frank, every night since the DDR arrival) is metaphoricallly equal to a snail crawling through the field of broken glass - slow, ugly and painful to watch.

[spurs1990]

Shots just aren't falling what are you going to do. Bright side Rockets are losing by 40 points to Miami. Could be worse.

[Mugen]

The Sniffers were jazzed about 3 wins against lottery teams and Portland off a b2b that they almost blew :lol

[boutons_deux]

33%! LOL losers

at the half, NOBODY in double figures LOL

[Darius Bieber]

I wouldn’t be surprised if DWhite, Dejounte, and Lonnie all asked to be traded to an actual NBA team to get away from this trash of a team.

[Mugen]

Only the Spurs could make their go to play in 2019 a Rudy Gay iso from 30 feet out :lol

[Robz4000]

Shouldn’t be surprising we suck when we can only dominate against a tanking G League team. This team has too much to work on if they want to be taken seriously

They couldn't even dominate said G-league team tbh.

[Dennis the Menace]

You really can't expect much when DeMidrange and Lafadeawy are your best players.

The loss is on RC, Wright, and Pop

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

The Derozan guarding LeBron then AD might be post 2014 Pop's Masterpiece tbh :lol



Stubborn senile fuck lol

[Shakril]

I know +/- are not always informative but this time i think it is:

STARTERS:

LMA - 17
DDR - 22
Lyles - 5 (due to not playing at the end of second quarter only -5)
Forbes - 16
Murray - 6 (was on court with 2nd Unit some time on their run)

2nd Unit

White - 7
Mills - 2
Gay + 3 (would have been higher if not for him playing at the end of second quarter)
Carrol +4
Poeltl + 4
Belli - 3

[timtonymanu]

The Derozan guarding LeBron then AD might be post 2014 Pop's Masterpiece tbh :lol

The senile genius will blame Lonnie somehow too :lol

[FkLA]

They just plain look like the better team. Even before those last two threes, when the Spurs were keeping it within 5-6 points, it felt that way. Their defense is legit and that's even with Danny being in foul trouble most of the half. Rudy was the only guy that wasn't too bothered by their length/defense.

[Kurgan]

-22 Defrozan
-17 Softridge

Fuck these two scumbags.

[BatManu20]

Starting to think Pop had zero game plan coming into today, unless that game plan involved going ISO Rudy Gay every trip down the floor or a contested long-range 2.

Shit is terrible.

[sananspursfan21]

The Lakers defense is playing great but the Spurs aren’t even trying on offense

[r0drig0lac]

36% FG, WTF

Lakers have a lot good athletic defenders, Pop loves undersized players and love even more puts them at a physical disadvantage.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

They just plain look like the better team. Even before those last two threes, when the Spurs were keeping it within 5-6 points, it felt that way. Their defense is legit and that's even with Danny being in foul trouble most of the half. Rudy was the only guy that wasn't too bothered by their length/defense.

Spurs are not a good team period. No outside shooting, poor defense, and the two softest top 2 options in the entire league

[Degoat]

I'm not impressed with the lakers, only up 13 when nobody on the spurs has showed up

[Mugen]

-Carroll actually showing some life so Pop makes sure he's benched immediately for Beli :lol
-Guaranteeing LA's 2nd year to make him happy and watching him shit the bed against any semblance of real competition :lol
-Seat Sniffin' crew saying Lonnie isn't good enough to crack a rotation that heavily features Beli, Mills, and Bryn Forbes :lol
-People thinking that Trey Lyles is a good starter when he's barely an NBA player :lol

[sananspursfan21]

The few good looks they’ve gotten have rimmed out. Hoping some of those fall and this CAN get competitive

[r0drig0lac]

Shots just aren't falling what are you going to do. Bright side Rockets are losing by 40 points to Miami. Could be worse.

who cares?

[apalisoc_9]

embarrasing blowout..

But Spurs just have way too many liabilities out there to compete. Mills, Derozan, Belli

[RD2191]

:lol Spurms. Same ol pretenders.

[Bynumite]

I'm not impressed with the lakers, only up 13 when nobody on the spurs has showed up

:lmao

Your team is too average for you to be this delusional.

[TimDunkem]

Hey! We beat the Knicks, Wizards, and a neutered Warriors team!!! DARK HORSE!!

[Slippy]

Shots just aren't falling what are you going to do. Bright side Rockets are losing by 40 points to Miami. Could be worse.

Pop going to trot out Demar on Davis to get some stops and free Demar up for scoring. Lol

[Kurgan]

It'd be nice if Demar would kill himself already so we don't have to waste anymore time on this shitty Aldridge/Derozan core that really isn't working at all.

[timtonymanu]

I'm not impressed with the lakers, only up 13 when nobody on the spurs has showed up

This sounds like you’re butthurt. Lakers could still win this game by 20+. Were you saying the same when we only were up 1 against the Warriors the other day?

[Degoat]

:lmao

Your team is too average for you to be this delusional.

only thing delusional is people acting like the lakers are "contenders"

[RD2191]

I'm not impressed with the lakers, only up 13 when nobody on the spurs has showed up

:lmao te lo sico

[BatManu20]

I fully expected us to lose this game, as we’re simply overmatched talent-wise, but didn’t expect us to look so lost offensively. Need to regroup at half and come up with a better game plan. Would also help if we start hitting some 3’s.

[Genovaswitness]

thanks snoop

[Mugen]

You didn't like the Demar should guard both of their best players gameplan? :lmao

[BatManu20]

Snoop taking over the halftime show with Bonner and Bill Land :lol

[Genovaswitness]

only thing delusional is people acting like the lakers are "contenders"

that username with that avator posting these paint huffing opinions :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Lakers are easily contenders :lol. Degoat probably thinks the Spurs can turn it around by SPAM

[objective]

Lyles experiment doesn't look so hot against non-bottom-5 teams. He'd probably be good against the Spurs.

[TimDunkem]

only thing delusional is people acting like the lakers are "contenders"

You kidding? At least they have an elite duo.

[sasaint]

Bring Snoop in to tout the Fakers on our telecast with Bonner and Land to slurp it up. Nothing better to do, tbh.

[spurs1990]

Maybe just maybe this will be the game to force Gregg to sit Marco and let Walker get action going forward. The boost in playmaking may finally outweigh Marco's familiarity with the system

[Longlonglongtimelurk]

We really need Murray to become the team leader. Asking a lot of a young guy coming off an ACL, but our leaders in LMA and DeRozan are far too mentally fragile and they set the tone.

[TimDunkem]

Snoop taking over the halftime show with Bonner and Bill Land :lol

That was legitimately nuts. :lol

[IronMaxipad]

only thing delusional is people acting like the lakers are "contenders"

:lol

[Mugen]

Thank god for games like this against playoff teams where Derozan/LMA shit the bed and 1 dimensional (or 0 dimensional tbh) players like Patty, Forbes, and Beli get fucking exposed.

Too bad the FO and the fat locals are more than content with 6-8 seeds and 1st round exits :lol

[TimDunkem]

Bring Snoop in to tout the Fakers on our telecast with Bonner and Land to slurp it up. Nothing better to do, tbh.

I enjoyed it. That's as much star power as this team is going to get for quite some time...

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Spurs should call the Davis Law Firm. They look like they got in an accident with a semi truck.

[Bynumite]

only thing delusional is people acting like the lakers are "contenders"

Top of the conference and easily top 2 team in the west right now.

Your team will soon descend to where it belongs, when they stop playing non-playoff teams every night.

[r0drig0lac]

Lakers are easily contenders :lol. Degoat probably thinks the Spurs can turn it around by SPAM

they are the best team in the league, only 76ers and Kawhi can stop them this season

[Genovaswitness]

they are the best team in the league, only 76ers and Kawhi can stop them this season

clippers are the best team. leshit's title winning years are over

[TimDunkem]

Why can't Aldridge hit midrange jumpers anymore?

[FkLA]

Another thing not many people want to talk about is the fact the DJ has come crashing back down to earth. I don't think he's a made a single midrange jumper, much less a three, all season.

[tmtcsc]

IF the Spurs decide playing defense would be a good idea, they make make this respectable. Not holding my breath.

[BatManu20]

God DeMar sucks tonight

[sasaint]

Pop going to the total garbage lineups coupled with our guys' shooting +/- 30% is a recipe for a blowout.

[timtonymanu]

Thank god for games like this against playoff teams where Derozan/LMA shit the bed and 1 dimensional (or 0 dimensional tbh) players like Patty, Forbes, and Beli get fucking exposed.

Too bad the FO and the fat locals are more than content with 6-8 seeds and 1st round exits :lol

I’m hoping this is finally the year where the team struggles to stay at .500 and out of the top 8. Nothing more demoralizing than watching this group of losers fight for a playoff spot and continue having a 1st round ceiling and PATFO does nothing to fix the team in the offseason. I’m looking for trades to get rid of those two soft, fake stars first.

DJ is our defensive specialist but loses Avery Bradley consistently.

Maybe just maybe this will be the game to force Gregg to sit Marco and let Walker get action going forward. The boost in playmaking may finally outweigh Marco's familiarity with the system

Lonnie isn't competitive enough to lose by 20 :pop

Top of the conference and easily top 2 team in the west right now.

Your team will soon descend to where it belongs, when they stop playing non-playoff teams every night.

Degoat is one of the biggest PATFO slurpers on here. Don’t even bother with him. :lol

[BatManu20]

Right back to DeMar guarding AD... Goddammit Pop you old fart wtf are you doing. I can’t stand it

[sasaint]

The Spurs should call the Davis Law Firm. They look like they got in an accident with a semi truck.

444-4444

[Keepin' it real]

Why again didn't we sign Howard?

Because he's a punk-ass bitch.

[gambit1990]

the spurs losing to the lakers shouldn't surprise anyone. the spurs will be tossing team's salads throughout the season.

Meh... about time LA gets back on top. The franchise is in the glamour capital of the world and should attract any FA by its location alone. Lakers were born on third base and their fans think they hit a triple.

Bradley looking like an offensive juggernaut.

he is not even top5

Trade DDR and LMA

:lmao

[Genovaswitness]

God DeMar sucks tonight

lebron's his daddy :lmao

kawhi's his daddy :lmao

dude's got two dads :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

lakers began his imposition with duo Marco / Mills on court, when Carroll had given the team some defense and hardness he was automatically taken off the court

[TimDunkem]

If only DD worked on his 3 as much as his clothing line.

[james evans]

At some point, I figured Popovich would be tired of the lakers fucking him up. I mean, we won the season series last year, but even that was a year after shit like Lonzo killing us in the 2018 season. It's fucking annoying. Now I got to put up with these bandwagon ass laker fans who have been in hiding the past 6 years

[ZeusWillJudge]

GREAT action out of a timeout!

[FkLA]

Pretty disappointing performance smh.

[timtonymanu]

I know the apologist will chalk this up to “early season loss against a good team, spurs still figuring it out etc.” but really what can this team do at this point to show they have another gear? Unless people develop a 3 point shot or our guards get taller, this team is gonna be doing this all year. I really hope they don’t stand pat at the trade deadline again. I’m making calls on everyone, tbh.

DJ one missed pass away from losing Avery Bradley again.

Exactly. They only need to know one number.

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. Announcer calling out, "Lyles for 3!!!"

No, Bill, just a long 2. And we're happy to have it.

[TheRemix]

Lyles hit a jumper. I'm impressed
