:blah

[MaNuMaNiAc]

How long 'till the game starts? its at 7:30 over there right?

[sa_butta]

1 hour till game time

[yeahone]

lets beat those lakers

[boutons_]

I felt the Lakers were playing with good confidence, probably taking a cue from Kobe's attitude.

No let down, no let up after last night's excellent W.

Gotta bring it every night. It's March.

Go Spurs Go

[boutons_]

The Lakers game is on which SA station? FSN? KRRT? KABB? KENS?

Grandecom's FSN listings are always screwed up, tonight they show college basketball, and sometimes list the Rockets, when they are showing the Spurs.

[sa_butta]

Spurs.com says FSS3.
Channel 31 for Grande.

[boutons_]

Ok, it's on FSN. got my DVR programmed since I'll probably miss the end of the game.

[Solid D]

Better watch out, Bruce Bowen might have to leave the game and come to your house if you aren't there.

[boutons_]

Wtf?

[sa_butta]

I think he is referring to the Bruce Bowen Commercial asking fans to come to the game.

[kolko]

It's on ESPN in Argentina :)

[SoCalSpursFan]

why thunder stix!!!??!! its not even tipoff yet and they are killin me! I mean the kids love em and that's good but wow......thunderstix during shootaround...not needed!

[mouse]

PM me if you need a link to watch the game

[midgetonadonkey]

That link didn't work for me.

[midgetonadonkey]

nevermind...it works.

[mouse]

Anything I can do so you can watch your team lose you just ask!

:smokin

[loveforthegame]

Lakers jump out early. Not a good start for the Spurs.

[midgetonadonkey]

Fuck that it's choppy as hell. Not even worth watching.

[Brutalis]

already 2 bad calls... saddddd

[mouse]

Lakers jump out early. Not a good start for the Spurs.


Should I start making the grape Kool-Aid? :drunk

[yeahone]

TP spurs MVP

[reader]

One of the previews I saw said, Can Kobe get 40? Who cares, as long as the Spurs get a W.

[TwoHandJam]

Very shitty play by the Spurs here in the first... No energy at all.

[yeahone]

well this is shaping up to be a typical spurs game play with the for the first haalf then pull a way after the break

[yeahone]

wow we took the lead back

[exstatic]

If anyone can't figure out what Rasho brings, they're BLIND. He comes in, and the LANE IS CLOSED for the Fake Show. Damn.

[Brutalis]

Beno4mvp

[boutons_]

The bench is coming through with the energy and the points.

Bench gets 3 3Gs, 11 pts, and 2 blocks in the first qtr. Excellent!!

[yeahone]

good first quarter guys

[yeahone]

finley seems that he have fall insync with the system

[Borosai]

I unfortunately can't watch the game, but Phil Jackson has to be damning the three point line right about now.

[milkyway21]

whoa! 30% FG for D Spurs?

[Vingianx]

beno better make the playoff roster

[boutons_]

Spurs gonna lose the 2nd B2B this week. fuck.

Tony + Tim + Manu = 9 pts

[DannyT]

If anyone can't figure out what Rasho brings, they're BLIND. He comes in, and the LANE IS CLOSED for the Fake Show. Damn.


WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ITSSSSS THE FAAAAKE SHHHHHHHHHHHOW.......

[dimsah]

This team is hard to watch at times.

[Vingianx]

Spurs Will Win

[Vingianx]

spurs will outplay the lakers in the latter part of the game

[mikejones99]

Odom is good, Spurs bench is good too. Rasho 2 blocks quickly

[yeahone]

we cant let the lakers beat us

[missmyzte]

I'm not getting too excited about this game until I see how the Lakers play in the 3rd quarter, they always suck in the 3rd quarter.

[carina_gino20]

wow..what's happening?

[TwoHandJam]

Our bigs are playing like giant pussies. WTF is going on?

[milkyway21]

Robert Horry made 3-pt. Jump Shot
:elephant Go Horry!

[carina_gino20]

Lakers Are A One Man Scoring Show And That #8 Will Get Tired

[carina_gino20]

Brennnnnnnnnnnnnt

[Vingianx]

[yeahone]

Biooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss

[milkyway21]

end of 1st Q
22-24 Lakers

[missmyzte]

Lakers Are A One Man Scoring Show And That #8 Will Get Tired
That's what teams have been saying all season, hasn't happened yet.

[Brutalis]

lmao @ this game. lucky we're only down 9 considering one sided calls and missed shots.

[boutons_]

wow, Lakers 26 pts in the paint vs 8

Spurs are really sucking tonight.

Nazr has no concept of paint defense, none. He challenges no body, a fucking matador spectating.

[mikejones99]

39 30 lakers lead

[Trainwreck2100]

spurs playing like shit

[Vinnie_Johnson]

What is the score now???

[milkyway21]

That's what teams have been saying all season, hasn't happened yet.you're not in the arena, Misty?

[dimsah]

Nice fucking D Spurs.

[boutons_]

Come on, boyz.

Gotta stay ahead of the Mavs, and catch the Pistons.

[Leetonidas]

50-35. :wow

[carina_gino20]

wow..Kobe is scorching us...anybody on D?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

39 30 lakers lead


no way you guys lose this game at home. I will say Spurs win by 10 easy.

[missmyzte]

you're not in the arena, Misty?In San Antonio? No, I'm in California

[TwoHandJam]

Fuck this shit. I'm turning this off soon if I don't see any improvement. The Lakers want revenge and the Spurs don't seem to care - they just want to win by jacking up 3's.

I hate it when the Spurs bring this weak-ass bullshit.

[Vingianx]

where is the D?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

50-35. :wow


No way WTF is going on??? :depressed

[mikejones99]

Phil Jackson is earning his 10 million if Lakers win this. 2nd half line would be interesting.

[boutons_]

Spurs had 38 in the first qtr last night, and 37 in the first half tonight.

Damn, do they suck tonight.

[Vingianx]

bowen made odom travel

[Amuseddaysleeper]

i just can't see duncan getting healthy come playoff time. manu HAS to do something in this game

[itzsoweezee]

Fg%
La: 51%
Sa: 35%

spurs are actually shooting better from three point land 6-11 (55%)

[dimsah]

Of course the ref can't see it. His heads up his ass!

[Brutalis]

lmao its like. lakers have everything to play for and the spurs are just trotting around waiting for home improvement reruns on the tv tonight.

[carina_gino20]

hope Pop goes all the way Serbian on them

[MaNuMaNiAc]

WTF!!! on of the few games they show over here in Argentina, and the Spurs are FUCKING SUCKING IT UP!!!! The lakers are playing better defence than us!!

[boutons_]

No Spurs has double figures in first half.

Fucking embarrassing. Playing the "tired" card.

How about some fucking pride?

[milkyway21]

hey why is it we are we losing this game at AT&T, our homecourt?

and against the Lakers?

wake up Spurs!

[picnroll]

Spurs should just forfeit second games of back to backs and go to a dinner and a movie.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ladies and gentlemen i give you your new #1 west seed

the dallas mavericks! :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[Trainwreck2100]

This is just like the Chicago game they lost here, they are too in love with the three ball

[midgetonadonkey]

What's the score?

[boutons_]

Lakers 30 paint pts vs 10 at the half.

Lakers +7 RBs

Spurs shooting 35%, and look like they don't give a shit.

[mikejones99]

As long as they are with in 25 at end of third, a comeback is still possible.

[Extra Stout]

This is their fourth game in five nights, coming off a West Coast roadie. Their flight arrived at 3 AM. Human bodies have limits. This is a scheduled loss.

Lighten up, people. I posted back on Tuesday that the Spurs would lose this game on account of scheduling, and that this board would go postal over it. You people are so predictable.

At least they won the Phoenix game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

no starter besides bruce played more than 30 minutes last night, this "tired" bullshit is old as the team could at least show some sort of pride. we may not even have HCA in the 2nd round at this point much less the finals if we get there

[Leetonidas]

ladies and gentlemen i give you your new #1 west seed

the dallas mavericks! :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

Dude, plug the blood hole.

[TDfan2007]

This game is pretty much over unless Tim starts playing with both eyes open. And wtf is with his pathetic rebounding #'s as of late? I mean I know he can't score anymore but he used to at least be able to get rebounds. WTF?!!!!!!

:pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss :pctoss

[SoCalSpursFan]

rock paper scissor halftime show....things keep gettin better and better....

[Extra Stout]

You people stress out over nothing. Maybe the Spurs should call Barry Bonds and get some of them steroid thingies so they can have superhuman endurance and keep the Chicken Littles from freaking out.

i dont know man, this team is still a long ways away from playoff mode. i'm still waitin on that consistency factor that is needed for the playoffs.

[Spurs Dynasty]

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH ! I can't take watching the Spurs anymore ! They play down to the other team all the time, they are frustrating as hell ! why can't they play the entire game like they do the 4th qtr?

On the other hand, it must be frustrating to the other teams to think they have a chance only to be crushed in the 4th quarter. This one, tho, ,may slip away.

[missmyzte]

They just interviewed Dr. Buss on KCAL (So Cal station) and he said that he loves San Antonio, it's a great city and he enjoys going there

[Extra Stout]

The Spurs are doomed. Oh no. If the NBA schedules a playoff series with the first four games in five nights, the Spurs might be 2-2.

Take a freaking Xanax.

If it makes you feel any better, the Spurs following this game probably are going to win like 16 or 17 out of 20, presuming Dallas doesn't stumble to the finish and allow the Spurs to rest the last game or two.

[carina_gino20]

Is the T on Pop?

[TDfan2007]

Horrible reffing today as usual

[TDfan2007]

Tim's D has been piss-poor today. Cook gets an open jumper, fucking pathetic

[TwoHandJam]

Why is Duncan in the game? He can't do shit and doesn't seem to want to try either.

[ABDENOUR POWER]

This is just like the Chicago game they lost here, they are too in love with the three ball

Sounds like the Pistons when they lose.

[Nashfan]

Great defensive team! Your team is letting the faker's shoot 50%. Our team is not healthy so you could beat up on us but where is this great defense you all talk about. Don't try to use the excuse that they are tired after last night's game. We have major injuries and Marion and Tim Thomas played with the flu while Barbosa was at the hospital and Nash has a sprained ankle, while Kurt Thomas is out with a stress fracture in his foot and James Jones is playing with turf toe and Amare has been out all season. So basically you played a very undermanned team and you surely did not play our starters. You will probably win this game but either your team doesn't play defense as well as you think or they have no heart!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

why isn't finley in???

this is so fucking pathetic. instead of the spurs coming out the gates with some fire for the 2nd half the lakers extend the lead :pctoss

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Did anybody gloat after the Spurs win over the Suns? Did the players think they defeated a very good team?

Relax, man. Your hating is out of place.

[JamStone]

Why are there still people that refuse to recognize and understand the rigors of back-to-back games and travel fatigue?

[Extra Stout]

The guy whose team just let the Spurs win by 24 on their homecourt is lecturing us about heart.

Are Dallas natives suddenly being transferred out to Arizona for work?

[mavsfan1000]

The mavs own all. :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Why are there still people that refuse to recognize and understand the rigors of back-to-back games and travel fatigue?

because this is sports damnit, there is no such thing as "they're only human" they are more than human. they are machines

[T-Pain]

we suck

[Obstructed_View]

The mavs own all. :lol
LOL. Just not head to head.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

its over

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Seriously, this game is too fucking painful to watch... I think this has to be the worst the Spurs have played this season, by far.

[Extra Stout]

Why are there still people that refuse to recognize and understand the rigors of back-to-back games and travel fatigue?

The last time somebody asked that question, all the Southsiders got pissy about how tired they get at work for $10 an hour. Because, of course, getting paid a lot of money increases endurance.

[TDfan2007]

Why are there still people that refuse to recognize and understand the rigors of back-to-back games and travel fatigue?

Losing by 18 at home to a team that's barely above 500 is simply pathetic no matter what the circumstances. On top of struggling with his shot Tim is getting no respect from the refs again. Tony isn't scoring or dishing. It seems like, as usual, Manu and Pop iare the only ones who gives a shit on back to backs.

[Spurs Dynasty]

LOL !!! What a whiney loser ! UM, we beat Suns 4-1 last playoff series. The Spurs always go into Playoff gear and play at another level.

[milkyway21]

looks like the Spurs are making Kobe an easy MVP contender tonight.

i just can't understand why Duncan only had 2 FGA since halftime. he has to shoot more.

[E20]

I just want in on some of the action. The Spurs are getting there asses whooped bad, sure it's the second game of a back to back(LMAO :rolleyes), but we shouldn't be getting our asses kicked this hard.

[Extra Stout]

Also, a lot of people base their emotional well-being on Spurs wins and losses, so rational thought does not come into play.

[carina_gino20]

Now all we need is for Manu to go crazy on the Lakers...:spin

[itzsoweezee]

still no one in double figures for the spurs

[carina_gino20]

Breeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnt!!!

[milkyway21]

this is not a team who has the strength to win it all.

there's still a lot of adjustments to be done to repeat.

Coach PhilJackson has figure us out (again).

[carina_gino20]

Doesn't Tim have 10 pts?

[Xylus]

we suck
Calm down.

These are the Spurs and Lakers we're talking about. This game could turn around at any moment, it is still the 3rd quarter, after all.

[TDfan2007]

See this is what I'll never understand: Tim gets shoved, pushed and wacked down low...no call. Bruce barely touches Kobe on the perimeter and a foul is called. Fucking pathetic.

[sanman53]

Why did Timmy get a T?

Looks like Barkley was wrong: Defense does take a night off.

[TDfan2007]

Why did Timmy get a T?

read my above post and you'll get an idea. He probably had some not-so-nice words for the official

[Spurs Dynasty]

I recognize the mode the Spurs are in, we see it from time to time... no fire. They dont have a prayer of coming back. Good news, they will be #1 seed at the end of the season and go into post season form, it is just frustrating to watch games like this.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

classic spurs meltdown

no wonder lakers fans want us in rd 1

[Spurminator]

Spurs fans are soft.

[Leetonidas]

Is this not the most annoying shit you've ever seen? The Spurs finally get some momentum and then turn it over and kill it. Story of the whole game. Down to 12 and up to 16.

[reader]

It the Laker D that good, Spurs shooting 35% to 48% for the Lakers?

-16 is not impossible but it will be if no one in this team wakes up.

[mavsfan1000]

Oh shit here come the spurs.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Finley HAS to play the entire 4th qtr

[Nashfan]

Yes, some of your Spur fans hate on the Suns. Just funny to see your basically healthy team losing to the Faker's. Some of you say the Sun's don't play defense but they are rated higher than you think. I would like to see your team without either Parker or Duncan and see how well they would do. Nash is the engine of our team and Amare is a very important part of our team and we aren't doing that badly this year considering we basically have a whole new team. Marion, Diaw and Bell were our only starters last night with Marion trying to get over the flu. So put your team in that position and you might get beat that badly also. You are supposed to be the champions after all so no excuses for tonight or against the Clippers. The bar has been set higher for your team than ours. No one thought we would be above .500 this year yet we are the fourth best team in the league. I am not a hater just a realist. We probably won't beat you this year but if Amare comes back healthy next year we have a very good chance.

yes cuz TD is "basically healthy" as is manu, and van exel :rolleyes

FUCK THE SUNS

they are known as a "season team" when it comes to the playoffs they wont be anywhere to be found when it matters. end of discussion

[milkyway21]

23-23 3rd Q sounds okay to me.

now DEFENSE in the 4th, guys!

how can you say that we are basically healthy? Duncan is playing with Plantar Fasciitis and we all know it's not going away. Manu is still recovering from his injuries which is the reason for his hesitance in finishing above the rim. NVE has a bad elbow.

Without Parker or Duncan, we still have Manu, who is capable of carrying the team on his back. We have Finley and we have Horry, who is probably the most clutch shooter come playoff time. No, we won't win the championship without Timmy and Tony.

And yes, we have Pop.

NO, you will not beat us this year. It is so entertaining to see other teams the Spurs have crushed log in to gloat over one game ( a back to back, 4th game in 5 days) . We shut down Nash every time we play the Scums. Stick around my silly friend and see how the season ends. We rag on our Spurs cuz they are simply SO FAR above the rest of the league, we expect perfection, but they are human.

Well, down to 10 points, back to game.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Here comes the home team run watch the lakers fold.

[carina_gino20]

somebody needs to take the ball to the hoop and rouse up Spurs fans...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

still no sign of any form of D whatsoever

this game is over kids

[Leetonidas]

Manu will get three FTs. Let's do this!

[carina_gino20]

please Spurs....win this one for us

[Brutalis]

aint gunna happen.

[carina_gino20]

manu makes 2-3 FTs...we need a run

[Nashfan]

Amuse,

Van Excel is not that important of a player to your team and Manu looks pretty healthy to me and so does Tim. I know Tim has pf in his foot but Nash has been playing with a bad hamstring so don't give me that kind of an excuse for tonight or against the Clippers the other night. This is the Fakers you are playing, barely above .500 you know. If you have such a strong bench then you should not have a problem against this team. I still think your team will probably pull this game out as the Fakers usually collapse in games.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

oh jesus we do NOT have time to miss free throws! fuck!

[Leetonidas]

There's not fucking flow in this game. The Spurs get some momentum and then a foul call kills it. So fucking annoying.

[TDfan2007]

The Spurs can't shoot FT's or play D today. One of those is a pretty big surprise.

dude no offense BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD do not compare nahs's "hamstring' problem to fucking duncan's PF foot problem. he isn't healthy at all. he's barely 70%. plus he's had this foot shit all SEASON LONG.; he's having the worst year of his life

Anybody who doesn't think Tim is hurt needs to watch this game.

[Leetonidas]

Amuse,

Van Excel is not that important of a player to your team and Manu looks pretty healthy to me and so does Tim. I know Tim has pf in his foot but Nash has been playing with a bad hamstring so don't give me that kind of an excuse for tonight or against the Clippers the other night. This is the Fakers you are playing, barely above .500 you know. If you have such a strong bench then you should not have a problem against this team. I still think your team will probably pull this game out as the Fakers usually collapse in games.

Dude, SHUT THE FUCK UP! You lost to the fucking below .500 T-Wolves, so STFU, for the love of God.

Spurs down 10.

[carina_gino20]

nice to see Barry cares..

[mikejones99]

Go Spurs

Sounds like you're forfeiting the season because of Tim's plantar fasciitis.

[mavsfan1000]

Oh that Kobe shot was sick.

[TDfan2007]

OK I'm through. I seriously can't take this BULLSHIT anymore. I'll be back when this team actually shows some effort.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sounds like you're forfeiting the season because of Tim's plantar fasciitis.

oh i'm not, but I can't see TD's PF getting better come playoff time. and if he isn't at least 9% we'll be fucked for the playoffs no doubt about it

[Extra Stout]

OK I'm through. I seriously can't take this BULLSHIT anymore. I'll be back when this team actually shows some effort.
See you on Sunday then. ABC regional telecast against the Rockets.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

ubelievable, barry has a chance to bring it to single digits but isntead lakers get the lead extended to 14 points.

[mikejones99]

Beer

[slayermin]

I had a bad feeling about this game but I didn't think it would be so one sided. Pisses me off that the guys can't even keep it within single digits.

Disappointing.

[carina_gino20]

Sounds like you're forfeiting the season because of Tim's plantar fasciitis.

you obviously need to improve in reading comprehension..no one is forfeiting the season because of Timmy's PF.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

also kobe seems to have figured out bowen

[texbumTHElife]

OK I'm through. I seriously can't take this BULLSHIT anymore. I'll be back when this team actually shows some effort.


Isnt this the fourth game in 5 nights?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Tim needs to suck it up and stop being soft Sheed had the same plantar fasciitis and still was money for The Pistons title run.

[Extra Stout]

oh i'm not, but I can't see TD's PF getting better come playoff time. and if he isn't at least 9% we'll be fucked for the playoffs no doubt about it
Sometimes it starts to clear up on its own.

Also remember he played on two sprained ankles in last year's playoffs.

Also remember there are no back-to-backs in the playoffs.

Also keep in mind that if Tim were fully healthy, Detroit still might beat the Spurs.

[Brutalis]

well. we suck. whats there to say.

[Spurs Dynasty]

to you suns fans and pistons fans... enjoy this single game loss... assuming we will continue to lose.

As for the injuries, Tim and Ginobili are no where near 100%, but will be by the end of the season - scarey, huh?

There is not a team in the NBA that will beat the Spurs in a 7 game series... NONE.

[carina_gino20]

i think the reason why Kobe has more success with Bowen than the other players Bowen guards is that he doesn't let Bruce get into his head. Now, if Bruce could just convince him to give Bruce some rent space inside..:lol

[1Parker1]

also kobe seems to have figured out bowen


I don't think Kobe has "figured out" anything. I just think he's having that kind of season where no one can stop him but him. I haven't seen anyone guard Kobe well consistently this season.

[Extra Stout]

Tim needs to suck it up and stop being soft Sheed had the same plantar fasciitis and still was money for The Pistons title run.
Tim will suck it up in the playoffs. Worry not.

Were you guys rooting for the Spurs tonight or something? Is it Laker hatred or Spur love?

don't generalize....there are a lot of decent posters form other teams here.. :angel

[Extra Stout]

Kobe is shooting 8-24 right now. That's 33%. What exactly did he "figure out?"

TD will not be 100%. You can book that.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Tim will suck it up in the playoffs. Worry not.

When there not playing The Pistons I pull for The Spurs to win.

well apparently the pistons have left the NBA

[carina_gino20]

down to 9...now please play D...

[texbumTHElife]

There isnt any figuring Bowen out tonight. Kobe simply cant miss. See that fade from the baseline with two on him? It has nothing to do with Bowen. Its Kobe.

With that said I have never seen Kobe look like as much of a total punk ass as he has tonight. Complaining after every posession and then the forearm shiver to Barry. I was one of his last fans in SA and he is very close to losing me.

[milkyway21]

we could lose this game over the Lakers, but it's okay. Kobe is having a good game right? might get MVP over Nash this time..

ShaQ shld have won last yr. This yr. as long as Nash won't get another MVP trophy again, fine with me.

sorry, Nash.

[Tek_XX]

I miss Tim Duncan.

[Spurs Dynasty]

WOW ! Kobe is a basketball God. Personally, I am salivating at watching our Olympic Basketball team in 2008.

[HB22inSA]

Luke Walton just got the biggest rebound in the History of the Lakers franchise.

What heart, what determination...

--Bill Walton

[Extra Stout]

When there not playing The Pistons I pull for The Spurs to win.
Aww how tweet.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

9 pts!

[E20]

The score is under double digits. If Pop goes Serbian on the to the 10th power and the Spurs lock down, play defense and try to contain Kobe then we win.

[Vingianx]

Fucking Spurs Are Playing As If They Were The Atlanta Hawks...tim Switch Places With Kwame Brown Or Something

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, Tim is a shadow of himself this year. Still, surprisingly, his shadow plays better than 95% of the league's PFs.

[Brutalis]

There isnt any figuring Bowen out tonight. Kobe simply cant miss. See that fade from the baseline with two on him? It has nothing to do with Bowen. Its Kobe.

With that said I have never seen Kobe look like as much of a total punk ass as he has tonight. Complaining after every posession and then the forearm shiver to Barry. I was one of his last fans in SA and he is very close to losing me.
Kobe = 9-26 FGs

Can't miss what?

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Aww how tweet.

I married into a family of Spurs fans there all good people.

[Vingianx]

But Oh, Well, They Will Win

[slayermin]

Dude, give Bruce a break. He isn't in his twenties.

Four games in five nights.

[HB22inSA]

Well, Charles had it right.

If Tim Duncan isn't healthy, the West is up for grabs.

And since Tim ain't gonna get healthy this year, it's time to face reality.

T-H-I-S T-E-A-M W-O-N-'-T R-E-P-E-A-T!!

Get it through your heads people.

[Vashner]

We've been "Sterned" again.. (the B2B)

[HB22inSA]

Kobe just punked the whole Spurs (non-existent) defense.

[milkyway21]

Finley 3-3 3pts?

[Brutalis]

this game is over.

[slayermin]

Fucking missed free throws!

[HB22inSA]

this game is over.


Correction, This game HAS BEEN over.

[sanman53]

We have done a pretty good job behind the 3 line tonight, but for the love of humanity, can we NOT get an offensive-board (3-10, advantage Lakers)?????

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well, Charles had it right.

If Tim Duncan isn't healthy, the West is up for grabs.

And since Tim ain't gonna get healthy this year, it's time to face reality.

T-H-I-S T-E-A-M W-O-N-'-T R-E-P-E-A-T!!

Get it through your heads people.

thank you

i mean its not impossible for us to win the championship but with detroit better this year than last and us worse this year than (plus factor in our injuries) i can't see us repeating.

[JamStone]

Were you guys rooting for the Spurs tonight or something? Is it Laker hatred or Spur love?


Even though I'm a Pistons fan, I love the Spurs and how they play.

I only root against Brutalis, Can't Be Faded, and Obstructed View ... and few others. But, actually, it's all in fun.

Spurs are awesome.

[Tek_XX]

Does every team in the league play the same number of back to backs?

[HB22inSA]

We've been "Sterned" again.. (the B2B)
You act like the Spurs are the ONLY team to play back-to-backs!!

[carina_gino20]

we're not going to win this one if we continue trading baskets with them.

[texbumTHElife]

I cant fault the Spurs for being tired but there is also a real lack of effort tonight.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

kobe > spurs

wow

[Spurs Dynasty]

You must give credit, Kobe is awesome and the Spurs are dog tired. The schedule has been brutal for the Spurs this year. It doesnt matter, in the playoffs the Spurs will dominate.

Anything else good on TV? This game was over in the first quarter,you can always see it ( lack of it) in spurs.

Congrats, Lakers. Well done.

[JamStone]

I think the Pistons have 22 back-to-backs this season.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DO NOT blame this game on the refs. the spurs were absolutely pitiful tonight

[milkyway21]

the Lakers has not beaten Tim Duncan's team since ShaQ's trade. Maybe just tonight.

Spurs->>>>>>>>Lakers, still.

[Tek_XX]

The B2B loses are starting to get annoying. I'm sure it's tough but these are proffesional athletes and you would think the Spurs would bring a little more energy than they do. Is Tim the main reason or are the Spurs just too old?

[Leetonidas]

Well, Charles had it right.

If Tim Duncan isn't healthy, the West is up for grabs.

And since Tim ain't gonna get healthy this year, it's time to face reality.

T-H-I-S T-E-A-M W-O-N-'-T R-E-P-E-A-T!!

Get it through your heads people.

Dude, shut the fuck up. Go follow another team if you're going to cry like a bitch about a loss to LA during the regular season. If you haven't noticed, Detroit hasn't been playing well and you don't see their fans acting like pussies.

[Trifecta]

Put a skirt on Duncan because he got played tonight!

[mavsfan1000]

kobe > spurs

wow
Kobe>Mavs also. Who cares? Kobe has some nights where he is unstoppable but that won't get the lakers that far.

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Does every team in the league play the same number of back to backs?

No The Pistons have 6 or 7 more then The Spurs do.

[fred33]

6 games on 8 days it's not normal

[Vingianx]

Lakers Have Matched Everything And Beyond

[HB22inSA]

Let's see, a blowout loss to the Clip joint, an un-impressive win against a team that doesn't play defense without it's best player, and a blowout loss at home.

Tired or not, as a professional NBA team, that is inexcusable.

The Spurs just don't have an edge or swagger about them.

Maybe they'll be back in 2007.

[mikejones99]

Still, Spurs will probly record a franchise high in victories this year and be favorites to win the finals.

[Brutalis]

guess what? we have to lose. its inevitable.

but, if arkansas beats florida and erases the 4 pts they trail by, everything will be gravy.

[texbumTHElife]

The SPurs did get worked over on the schedule this year. There really is no arguing it. The defending Champs playing on the road on every holiday? B2B's galore. Rodeo road trip cross country and back and back. I know we have the Rodeo Road Trip every year but this year we went west coast to east coast and back, harsh.

Anyway, the Spurs will pull it together the last month of the season when 70% of the games are at home.

[Vingianx]

Pathetic Luke Walton With A Double Double

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The B2B loses are starting to get annoying. I'm sure it's tough but these are proffesional athletes and you would think the Spurs would bring a little more energy than they do. Is Tim the main reason or are the Spurs just too old?

age is a huge factor for sure. the spurs might be the oldest team in the league. all this talk of a "dynasty" is a joke since spurs can't even defend their title once much less 3 times. i just hope dallas drops another one soon. i'm still waiting for that "spurs peak in march" bullshit theory (sigh)

[Trainwreck2100]

time to surrender, guys! :D

if we're healthy, which, we havent been all year

[Vinnie_Johnson]

Your right these are the dog days before teams like The Spurs and Pistons turn it up for the playoffs....

[Trifecta]

no, thats gonna be detroit. there is no way this team is winning it all with these injuries they have. hell, im not even sure if a 100% healthy spurs team can beat detroit

[Trifecta]

Pig Suey!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hogs!!!!!!!

[Spurs Dynasty]

$10 to anyone who can superimpose a picutre of Tim's ass in the place of the trophy Wallace is kissing in the above picture!!! Comeon, where are the artists ??

I know its the Lakers and all so people will cry like little girls but this game is FAR from a blow out and we DOMINATED the Suns.

[Vingianx]

Now We Gotta Cross Our Fingrs For The Mavs N Pistons To Lose Some More Just So We Can Play Catch Up

[Brutalis]

Pig Suey!!!!!!!!!!

Go Hogs!!!!!!!
Sooie*

The refs are from Florida, and Tennessee. Irony.
