Game Thread: Spurs (18-19) @ Lakers (20-16) 1/13/2025 9:30 PM CST. 5:30 AM RIGA. 5:30 PM HAWAII

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs +3.5

[CorrectCrusader]

GSG! Wemby 60 piece incoming.

[LeBowen]

One of the rare good matchups for Jeremy, if he doesn't have a great game tonight he needs to be benched.

[scott]

Afraid we're going to get the full emotional onslaught of Southern California dumped on us tonight. Ugh.

Pre-emptive request for a good streaming link. LA games blacked out in HI as "local", despite being 2500 miles away.

[Spurs Homer]

please drop vassell off somewhere near pasadena/altadena...

and dont look back...

[TheBallsbreakers]

What's up with all these "ban" AVs of some posters on here? Same accounts or a little cantankerous clique in ST?

[RC_Drunkford]

It's actually good that we only play 1 game instead of 2 back to back. Most of the time teams split these series. Hope we can steal this one. Spurs need to attack Austin Reaves everytime and keep the pace high to run LeBron off the floor.

I own the rights to No Keldon. Hands off.

[Joseph Kony]

beatdown incoming. Pop already called Mitch and told him to tank the game so that the LA residents can feel a moral W of some kind during the fires

:pop: This is bigger than basketball :pop:

[itzsoweezee]

Wemby playing with Giannis :wakeup

[heyheymymy]

Wemby already read all the Brian Sanderson books he got for Christmas while waiting for the next game

[heyheymymy]

lol 0:45 timestamp in the Wemby vs Mamu 2k game clip

Wemby even chucks threes in 2k basketball too

[heyheymymy]

Really hope coach and staff didn't squander an unexpected break like this. Not sure what's realistic to expect here but some drills, extended practice or even just extra film study if you don't want to run the guys. Something to take advantage of the break more than just the reported one shoot around for an hour, that's gotta be a media decoy.

Oh well, even just 5 unexpected days sleeping and resting in hotel rooms would be an unusual advantage to any midseason NBA player. Or is it such a long duration that rust issues begin to arise? Reminds me of back when Spurs were contending. Time off between series was a goldilocks equation where too much or too little were curses and it had to be in the middle just right.

[NASpurs]

Yeah you can it's going to be one of those nights where the Lakers are going to be on fire all night long and blow us out early.

[PhantomDashCam]

This thread looks like a hit-list with all the red "banned" players and FO types :lol

[spursistan]

Yeah, probably my least favorite schedule-related tinkering by the league. Same goes for the home-and-home 2-game series like the recent Denver one. They are extremely difficult to sweep unless you are the vastly superior team. We have a two-gamer homestand against Memphis after this one. I would be shocked if we go 2-0.

[spursistan]

Maybe it is time to get a win against The Lakers and prevent them from becoming like the Doncic-era Mavericks who have pretty much owned us since he came to the league. AD has been a difficult match-up for us, but we need to shut down their scrubs.

[100%duncan]

I'd be pretty surprised if the Spurs sneak out a win here. Imagine the emotional win the Lakers want to get due to the fires, etc on top of them already being a match-up nightmare this year.



The good thing is that DLo isn't on the team anymore. That scrub lights it up every time.

[Larry O]

It's gonna be an emotionally charged Crypto.Com Arena when the Spurs step on the court. They gotta be charged and energized, too, and jump out there with a good lead. Sadly, once Wemby sits for his first break, the Fakers will go on a scoring blitz and as predicted, they'll be right back in the game. Hope Mitch and the coaches have addressed this problem, which is a lineup issue. The Fackers seem to be a matchup problem for the Spurs, too. Hope Wenbanyama and the rest of the team will show up for this game and get a Dub. GSG!!!

[TekXX]

Are the fires out?

[heyheymymy]

They moved the NFL game to Arizona only to host a Lakers game in LA that same night?

[Mugen]

As somebody that lives in Los Angeles, I can tell y'all right now...the Spurs have zero chance of winning this game. Just be glad they postponed the Saturday game :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop probably told them to lose anyway. „It wouldn‘t be fair to win, when there‘s a fire going on. That‘s not who we are.“ :pop:

Hope Wenbanyama and the rest of the team will show up for this game and get a Dub. GSG!!!

The lineup issues are actually really simple:



The Spurs are 14 net points better with Wemby on the court than with him off (-5.0 ON / -9.3 OFF)
The Spurs are 14 net points worse with Vassell on the court than with him off (+3.9 OFF / -9.4 ON)


You might be asking: "well, how about how these two guys interact with each other? Certainly there is some overlap there, right?" Great question, I'm glad you asked.



When Wemby is on the court without Vassell, the Spurs have a +10.2 NETRTG
When Wemby is on the court with Vassell, the Spurs have a -4.5 NETRTG, which is only slightly better than...
When Wemby and Vassell are both off the court, the Spurs have a -5.3 NETRTG, which is way better than...
When Vassell is on the court without Wemby, the Spurs have a -16.3 NETRTG

[Rummpd]

Bottom line NOT missing this game on NBA TV. Out East, I am doctor and public health executive and absolutely exhausted and fighting a cold; but setting the alarm and waking up to watch this no matter how tired. Go Wemby, Go Spurs. Want to see Wemby face plant AD and block some of his shots Just do this. Get back to 0.500

By the way use to be paid to write another site and briefly here and am a national experts on analytics and rankings. Here is an invited podcast interview where I discuss Duncan 4 in the Top 100 NBA and other lists. Duncan the ONLY player in history top 3 defensive win shares and ratings and top 15 7 other analytics all time. Simply incredible and Wemby may one day be even better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw_KMvvARKI If link does not work Google Rumm NBA podcast.

[sananspursfan21]

Wemby’s response tonight is gonna tell a lot about him tbh. He’s had time to stew on last week’s bitter performance. I believe in this kid, let’s go Wemby!

Currently listening the end, I agree with a lot of your points.

FYI n AI analysed all the data available on basketball and the results listed Duncan 2nd all time behind MJ, it's of course arguable depending on criteria that imo should be precized before any discussion, otherwise the convo looses any purpose.

As a Spurs fan did your early encounter with young Shaq impacted the (I assume) hate toward the Lakers with all the matchups we had? It must be something to have live update of a kid you took care of for decades.

Wemby struggles after long breaks, I'm afraid he'll start rusty

Nice meeting you Doctor.......

[Larry O]

Oh, to add fuel to all the emotions the Lakers fans will have, they will aslo honor Michael Cooper by retiring his Jersey.

[mystargtr34]

please drop vassell off somewhere near pasadena/altadena...

and dont look back...

Damn 😂

[LeBowen]

Oh, to add fuel to all the emotions the Lakers fans will have, they will aslo honor Michael Cooper by retiring his Jersey.

Wth, he retired 35 years ago.
Hopefully the game starts before the fire reaches the arena.

[heyheymymy]

Shit. Pre game fire tribute was powerful. This arena is in emotional lockstep right now. Spurs playing against the strength and spirit of all LA.

[heyheymymy]

Last matchup I think LA had Dlo still so a different look tonight

[sananspursfan21]

This is gonna be an emotionally charged game. I hope our guys are ready…

[LeBowen]

Monstars took Castle's talent.

[skin27]

Castle what?

[ginobilized]

I don't think DV knew if he was shooting or passing

[CorrectCrusader]

DUNK THAT SHIT MAN

[TekXX]

Castle will never do much offensively

[Larry O]

Spurs already coming out the gates on a bad note.

[LeBowen]

My motivation for this game is already gone.

[sananspursfan21]

Oh boy

[SPURt]

Yikes

[CorrectCrusader]

The spurs don't even take advantage of the fact that defenders respect Wembys range now. They run the same shit sets to him constantly.

[mo7888]

It's getting hard to even care right now..

[heyheymymy]

Looks like Spurs were in LA long enough to find some fire edibles. :smokin

[Slippy]

Castle enjoyed the 5days off it seems

[ginobilized]

What's up with Sochan?

[sananspursfan21]

They already look dejected on the bench. Come on fellas…

[Larry O]

Wemby starting out soft at the rim, SMH...

[sananspursfan21]

This will get ugly before the 6 minute mark in the first if they don’t respond

[sananspursfan21]

Attaboy Vassell. Prove this board wrong about you dude

[sananspursfan21]

Ok, ok. This is encouraging.

[SPURt]

These LA announcers sound drunk

[Obstructed_View]

They used to call the out of bounds wrong so they wouldn't have to call the foul. Now teams get out of the foul and challenge the call.

[LeBowen]

That's it, just keep attacking turnstile Reaves every possession.

[ohmwrecker]

Our defense blows

[heyheymymy]

haha CP3 flop gave AD his 2nd foul

[Guru of Nothing]

These fucking uniforms just scream TANK.

[SPURt]

Not too bad considering where they started

[skin27]

Davis always goes off against the spurs

[twincam]

What happened to basketball? Three point shot after three point shot. Are they really afraid to be physical?

[Larry O]

Yup, once Wemby left the floor, the Lakers crept back into the game...

[scott]

Lebron shooting the one legged 3s now too?

[Larry O]

Wemby! Throw it down, PLEASE!

[scott]

Castle abusing Reeves now. Just keep doing that.

[sananspursfan21]

Vital signs from Castle

[scott]

Another game, another team going bananas from 3 against us

[Kuvai]

2 real baddies shots by Wembyy. Ridiculous

[TekXX]

This is the point where our shitty players bite us in the arse.

[Degoat]

We’re bad again lol

[CGD]

CP pretty checked out on this one. Can’t blame him I suppose

[sananspursfan21]

It may be 2025, but falling in love with the three can still sink the ship. How about some easy buckets guys…

[scott]

Who's this old drunk Redneck doing color commentary for LA?

[KobesAchilles]

Maybe just maybe Wemby should stop shooting so many logo 3s and just park his ass in the paint :lol

[cutewizard]

I hate the Lakers hmmmppp

[100%duncan]

Passing to a contested three vs a Wemby dunk. Ah well at this point everyone from Wemby to the team and the coaches are at fault. Losing the Wemby minutes this badly, when he sits this is gonna be double digits.

[cutewizard]

That was such a long three

[100%duncan]

Maybe just maybe Wemby should stop shooting so many logo 3s and just park his ass in the paint :lol

It can get annoying. Like wth was that 1st quarter against the Clippers when he just kept going inside? I get it he cant do that every game but god damn.

[cutewizard]

And as usual we lack the offense

[cutewizard]

Wonder when can we have that offensive edge we had during our glory years .......

[skin27]

Champaigne cant hit shit tonight

[scott]

Not the game for Champ to go ice cold

[heyheymymy]

Wow, AD with his 3rd before the half and on a stupid decision. In fact 2 of those 3 were bad fouls.

[TekXX]

Wemby can't handle being guarded by a tiny bitch.

[cutewizard]

foul

[CGD]

Another game, another team going bananas from 3 against us

Seriously. We’re like the chicken soup/get right team for others in this regard.

[skin27]

And as usual we lack the offense

no. Lakers just hitting their shots

[cutewizard]

Wemby lacks force and conviction on smaller defenders hmmm

[tbdog]

Where was the foul?

[sananspursfan21]

Whelp.

[CorrectCrusader]

Good lord this might be the worst shooting lineup I have ever seen.

[cutewizard]

omg turnoever machine

[Larry O]

AD with 3 fouls, then a TO by the Spurs to only put the Lakers up by 11. SMH

[Splits]

wtf is Keldumb doing?

[Guru of Nothing]

Spurs 4 on 2 break ends with a made Vassell 3. Wouldn't believe it if I hadn't seen it.

[mystargtr34]

CP3 auditioning for the Lakers tbh. Rekon the Spurs can get a 2nd round pick for him at the deadline.

[Mugen]

:lol This team is cooked. Zero fight again. They might be bad enough to finish bottom 12 at least. I don't see another W on the calendar until they play the Hornets in Feb tbh.

[Slippy]

Gotta take advantage of AD foul trouble. Spurs bench unit been a letdown so far.

[100%duncan]

This season has quickly gone from fun to fucking depressing the last few weeks. I guess it was because I had play-in expectations for this team before the season started. Just a horrible roster atm. Struggling this badly against the Lakers who arent even legitimate contenders. Ugh.

[Pauleta14]

It can get annoying. Like wth was that 1st quarter against the Clippers when he just kept going inside? I get it he cant do that every game but god damn.

There's no doubt in my mind they just don't work on specific plays for Wemby.

:pop: It's not who we are, everybody must share the ball.

[Slippy]

Ya good on Dev but I couldn't believe where that pass went too. They in love with the 3

[ohmwrecker]

Spurs are brain dead tonight. Another L. Mark it.

[cutewizard]

Vasell with the usual miss

[CorrectCrusader]

This team is so braindead. I hate these players so much.

[scott]

Bright side: Bassey looking better this game

[scott]

Bright side: Bassey looking better this game

Spoke too soon

[skin27]

Bassey lmao

[Larry O]

Man, the Spurs can't hit the side of a barn, point blank, with a 10 gage shotgun!

[cutewizard]

lucky shot

[sananspursfan21]

Whatever they want from three.

[cutewizard]

defenseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Mugen]

Can't make a 3 to save their life while giving up open 3 after open 3. BWrong :lol

[cutewizard]

whre is the Castle mojo???????

[TheBallsbreakers]

Castle must be one of the most terrible guard shooters the Spurs have ever had.

[cutewizard]

53 to 62 haha

[Mugen]

Crazy how that comeback L against the Bulls absolutely broke this team.

CP0 and Wemby both look checked out :lol

[LakerHater]

Wemby looks frustrated not getn the lob of the pick & slips!!!

[scott]

Maybe other GMs are watching this national TV game and will be impressed with Vassell's shooting enough to call up Brian tonight

[cutewizard]

everyone regressing now

[LakerHater]

Is mitch even running any plays???

[cutewizard]

this might be the >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

the top-secret tank, lol

[cutewizard]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZIXHLTbT0c

[Guru of Nothing]

Box score says Spurs are 7/21 from 3 while Lakers are only 10/26. Did not feel like that.

[cutewizard]

Michael Cooper is better than Devin at this point, tbh, hahahahahaha

sign him for a ten day contract, hahahahah

[baseline bum]

My highlight of the first half was Keldon deciding to just stop and stand still when he was screened to give up the wide open corner three.

[cutewizard]

so greatness is the way to greatness

i get it, lol

[ginobilized]

Uninspired, misguided and seemingly without schemes on either side of the court.

What's with giving all the open corner 3's? I thought that was the bane of Pop's existence.

I kinda want to see Mitch go Serbian, get ejected, do something

[Mugen]

Maybe other GMs are watching this national TV game and will be impressed with Vassell's shooting enough to call up Brian tonight

BWrong ain't doing shit :lol

[Splits]

I can't think of another Spur who is more dislikable than Keldumb0. This dude is a black hole. You always know what he's going to do (put his head down tunnelvision) and it rarely turns out positive. Would trade him for a tuna fish sandwich.

[cutewizard]

Manu rules

I'll go vASSell. Season went to shit once he got in the starting lineup. It's funny they went from like an 18 win pace to .500 ball once they shut Vassell down for the season to try to tank at the end last year.

[cutewizard]

Madam Beckyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

pls come home,

[Larry O]

Hmmm... the NBA TV halftime crew think that Wemby is tired. LOL!

[mystargtr34]

This will be a good loss. Spurs need to put themselves in pipe position for the 8th draft slot and hope for lottery luck. Cooper Flagg next to Wemby will be great. More minutes for Keldumb, Vasseline, and Co:lolins

[Splits]

I'll go vASSell. Season went to shit once he got in the starting lineup. It's funny they went from like an 18 win pace to .500 ball once they shut Vassell down for the season to try to tank last year.

I was thinking Bryn. I'd rather have Bryn.

[100%duncan]

There are too many unlikeable (basketball wise) dudes on this team. IDGAF how fun they are off the court.

[ginobilized]

After watching the Rockets/Griz game, man those teams were playing hard. Lots of young talent on both teams.

Amen Thompson is turning into something. He'd be such an amazing Spur. He'll be giving Wemby a run for DPOY.

We gotta add some real talent.

[cutewizard]

these jersey programs are a bore, lol

The Rockets have a real coach while we had to placate Pop for years after Timmy/Ginobili retired tbh.

[scott]

Fuck can't they do this shit after the game?

[sananspursfan21]

Why couldn’t they have done this after the game? This jersey retirement is taking way too long. I keep thinking it’s coming to a close

[LeBowen]

Yet again Castle is the only one attacking the rim regularly, awful roster construction.

[cutewizard]

wheres Kareem???????

[scott]

Don't look now... but Devin Vasselline with a team leading +1 in the first half... let's see how that ages.

[cutewizard]

perhaps Wemby should contact Kareem in the summer, learn that skyhook

[cutewizard]

this is a long speech, hahahahahahaha

[sananspursfan21]

Can it so we can get on with it Mr. Cooper

[cutewizard]

i dont thank my wife, she is a bitch

[heyheymymy]

switched back and this bum is still giving his speech lol.

[ginobilized]

I always liked Michael Cooper, I'm re-thinking that right now

[ginobilized]

And last, but, not least......

How many times is he going to say that?!?!

[scott]

Michael Cooper with Devin Vassell-level main character syndrome. I guess he kind of earned it though.

How long was Bruce Bowen's jersey retirement speech?

[sananspursfan21]

Leave it to LA to make a huge spectacle out of something they could have done after the game. Nobody’s watching for this

[Mugen]

Paying 50mil combined to Keldon, Zollins, Malaki and Blake is absolutely criminal :lol

[sananspursfan21]

You’d think he was the all time leading Laker or something

[heyheymymy]

Players going cold and tightening up over this. I'd be on the bike.

[100%duncan]

Bruh I thought my stream lagged and looped. It turns out that the tosb just had a long ass speech

[cutewizard]

slopppppppppppyyyyy

[scott]

Looks like it was these old ass Lakers who got cold during that hours long half time. Too bad we still can't rebound

[cutewizard]

they cant even get those defensive boards

[Robz4000]

Teams are gonna start doing hack-a-Steph tbh

[scott]

I'd be curious at what % of FT trips Castle has made 2/2. It's gotta be under 20%

[Guru of Nothing]

Dead-Eye Castle.

[cutewizard]

Castle got that one ok

[heyheymymy]

damn Castle going nuts out there

[cutewizard]

Castle again,

[cutewizard]

cmon refs

[heyheymymy]

jeez Castle looking like Mr Hollywood out there

[100%duncan]

Oh fuck off Wemby

[skin27]

Castle likes to play against the lakers

[sananspursfan21]

Gotta love how physical LA can be but heaven forbid our guys get a little physical. Lakerefs

[cutewizard]

Webmy should minimize his showboating

this is not an all star game

[Kawhi Duncan]

Wemby makes the dumbest pass attempts at times... Why not dunk the fucking ball after that move?? Why look to immediately pass? U were right by the rim!

[cutewizard]

Wemby has these periods where he seems not to be serious.....i mean, he is just off.......

[heyheymymy]

damn I think I just saw Jerry Seinfeld in the background during the crowd dance cam

[cutewizard]

only CP3 and Castle are taking this seriously today it seems

[sananspursfan21]

Our guys still giving LA whatever 3 they want

[Slippy]

Castle stepping up. Cut out the careless TOs and why they giving up baseline easy 3? Needs to tighten up

[skin27]

Wemby makes the dumbest pass attempts at times... Why not dunk the fucking ball after that move?? Why look to immediately pass? U were right by the rim!

That wasnt a pass

[100%duncan]

Bassey :lol




This team is full of retards

[skin27]

Bassey so dumb

[SpursFan86]

This team makes the dumbest fucking turnovers. Swear we have 3-4 every game that just have no business ever happening in an NBA game.

[cutewizard]

lebron is a joke

[scott]

Bassey doing that thing where he must immediately follow every good play with a completely boneheaded one

[heyheymymy]

Castle having one hell of a 3Q

[cutewizard]

i cannot believe we are an NBA team at this point,

[CorrectCrusader]

Bassey is fucking terrible.

[100%duncan]

Meh im out on Charles. Put Collins in, they’re both gonna get toast by AD anyway. Yep cant believe I said that.

[BatManu20]

Bassey fucking sucks tbh :lol

[scott]

Can't even fault Bassey for those last two AD baskets... AD is just good, damn.

But Bassey on offense... woof

[LeBowen]

With Champ going cold the bench is completely useless.
Embarrassing roster, tbh.

[skin27]

Ad beasting on the offensive boards

[sananspursfan21]

Bassey is like when someone who’s never played 2K in their life gets handed the controller

[cutewizard]

wt f

[cutewizard]

is the front office even working at this point???????????????

[100%duncan]

Can't even fault Bassey for those last two AD baskets... AD is just good, damn.

But Bassey on offense... woof

He’s had a long leash already. I think this is already a good sample size that he isn’t gonna be anything more than a 3rd stringer.

[BatManu20]

Bassey is like when someone who’s never played 2K in their life gets handed the controller

:lol

[Manu-of-steel]

Bassey with successive low IQ plays!

[ginobilized]

This lineup has got to be one of the worst in the league

Castle is going off, though. Good to see.

[heyheymymy]

holy shit they are giving the mic back to Cooper for even more!

[Larry O]

The Lakers are up to 10 points Again, thanks to the Spurs lack of defense, rebounding and scoring once Victor goes to the bench. Then they expend a whole lot of energy trying to get back into the game...

[onechance87]

vassell disappearing once again.

[cutewizard]

ohhh cmon more Cooper

[ginobilized]

Cut to Coop, more talking....

[cutewizard]

guys, i am actually worried that Castle is auditioning for LA
hope not

[scott]

He’s had a long leash already. I think this is already a good sample size that he isn’t gonna be anything more than a 3rd stringer.

Even as President of the fan club, I can't disagree with that. Maybe someone will let Brian Wright know that we could use a backup C.

[cutewizard]

fuck all the lakersssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[heyheymymy]

Spurs went on a run during that Coop interview lol haha

[scott]

Whenever Michael Cooper gets on the microphone, good things happen for us. Get this man a Podcast.

[sananspursfan21]

Who’s #24 on our team? It used to be Vassell. Has the same kind of hair

[heyheymymy]

haha that was a hilarious scene.

A split screen with Coop interview where he's talking in one screen while the spurs are absolutely abusing the Lakers in the other screen lol

[skin27]

10-0 run

[CorrectCrusader]

The difference in this run is ENERGY.

[heyheymymy]

Yeah let's get some closing thoughts from Coop around 2 mins left in the 4th

[scott]

CHAMPAGNIE SUPERNOVA, OFFENSIVE REBOUNDING MACHINE

[SpursFan86]

Another boneheaded turnover in the backcourt. This team just can’t get out of their own way.

[heyheymymy]

OHHHHHHHGHHHHHHH NASTY MANS LOL

KJ BUSSER BEATER TYHREEE

[LeBowen]

Signs of life have been shown.
Been a while since we won a close game, this one is here for the taking.

[Spurminator]

Backup Center is, by far, this team's most dire need. And all we need is someone who belongs in the NBA.

[SpursFan86]

What an end to the quarter though. Can’t be mad at a tie game going into the 4th.

[skin27]

Great 3rd quarter finish

[cutewizard]

89 all hahahahahaha

[sananspursfan21]

Wemby, Castle, and Vassell all having a great night. This is what the doctor ordered

[scott]

KELDUMB WITH THE BUZZER BEATER

PLEASE GIVE US NON STOP MICHAEL COOPER IN THE 4TH

[Rosewood]

They look legit when Wemby is in.

[cutewizard]

Wemby with the 50-dunk hahahahahahahaha

[CGD]

Man, maybe they should keep interviewing Cooper so our guys can keeping going on runs.

[skin27]

AD out rebounding wemby as usual

[heyheymymy]

Wait is that LD lol

[CGD]

Wemby, Castle, and Vassell all having a great night. This is what the doctor ordered

This is the first game this season where I feel Wemby and Vassell have been playing well off each other.

[Guru of Nothing]

It's getting grab assey on the court.

[SpursFan86]

These non-Wemby minutes to start the 4th are going to be huge. Need to keep it tied or at least within a possession or so.

[scott]

Bassey drawing fouls on the offensive glass and Keldon getting and-1s?!?!?! WHAT WORLD IS THIS

[heyheymymy]

Champagnie icy tonight

[LeBowen]

Damn it, if Champ didn't have the worst game of the season this is an easy W.

[sananspursfan21]

This is the first game this season where I feel Wemby and Vassell have been playing well off each other.

I agree with that observation. Let’s hope this isn’t a fluke!

[heyheymymy]

Bassey timed the split on that PnR perfectly

[Larry O]

Darn it! Champ is having a bad night shooting the 3.

[ginobilized]

These Lakers announcers are so reminiscent of college announcers in the Big Sky Conference in the 70's.
Come to think of it, maybe they were?

[CorrectCrusader]

They flipped the switch in the 3rd quarter.
