Spurs @ Lakers - Dec. 13 Game Blog

[T Park]

LA +16 off turnovers.

Thats the game.

[m33p0]

would have been 6! instead its gonna look like 11

[dg7md]

Turnovers are killing us.

[sammy]

Well Manu being in foul trouble really took him out of the game! Fuck those fucking refs! Those bastards allowed the fucking Fakers to grab and hack and get away with shit! They look so tired now. All that emotion of getting back into the game! Why did Pop take out the guys that made that run! Finley, Barry, Bruce and brings in the idiot Vaughn who couldn't get the play started!

[ChumpDumper]

Jackson scared enough to keep the starters in.

I'm satisfied.

[meta2007]

If Bynum wasn't ejected, then Manu wouldn't be called fouls for 5 times!

Refs just want to make audience happy! :ihit

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

:pctoss :pctoss

what a waste of time

[anakha]

At least I can still hope for Washington winning me Vbookie... :(

[ricketts]

Jackson scared enough to keep the starters in.

I'm satisfied.

right, if it came down to these two teams in the finals with healthy spurs this game would be no contest.

[703 Spurz]

Who the fuck cares anyway? So they'll lose another game. World keeps on spinnin' man. Fuck it

[Spurologist]

DAMN Barry well tonight. VAUGHN shouldn't have even seen the floor.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

what do we really expect when we are missing 2 our 3 best players


an effort

[iminlakerland]

Half of your starters are HURT!!!

I'm satistfied. :toast

not cool!

[ChumpDumper]

Half of your starters are HURT!!!Exactly :fro

[SpurOutofTownFan]

its' funny, we could have even won at the end...

[ricketts]

I really dont know whether to be happy or sad

[MajicMan]

That was disgusting. We'll take the win though.

[iminlakerland]

sucks cuz we got a back to back tomorrow night against golden state and look at the minutes we had to have our starters play.

[anakha]

At least I can still hope for Washington winning me Vbookie... :(

And so much for that. :lol

[davemaniscool]

Half of your starters are HURT!!!

I'm satistfied. :toast

You guys still suck

[Budkin]

:lmao at the Confetti falling! How far the Lakers have sunk!

[SAtown]

Finley sux! Finley sux! Chants at the end of the game, haha, I guess their assholes are still sore from last season OT game at Staples

[TampaDude]

Wow...Spurs only lost by 5...on the road...without Duncan and Parker...and the refs fucking us hard...we're still a 65-win team, no problem...the Spurs will repeat...book it!

[Tek_XX]

Half of your starters are HURT!!!

I'm satistfied. :toast


A true Laker fan.

[Budkin]

Decent game by the Spurs considering no Timmy or Tony.

[SouthernFried]

Manu should not have played these last 2 games. Half the teams turnovers have to be on him. Never seen anyone pass so badly, so consistently in 2 games. Been better to let him get some rest.

[RonMexico]

If Pop managed minutes like Mike D'Antoni, his combined 4 Finals MVPs wouldn't be on the bench.

[THE SIXTH MAN]

:lmao at the Confetti falling! How far the Lakers have sunk!
:lol Yeah i know what was up with that???

[iminlakerland]

:lmao at the Confetti falling! How far the Lakers have sunk!

they've done that after every game for a long long time now...

[MajicMan]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

[xamila rey]

Solid game by Oberto again.
I also liked Horry hitting some shots.
and Bowen best Spur player tonight.

[Avitus1]

If Pop managed minutes like Mike D'Antoni, his combined 4 Finals MVPs wouldn't be on the bench.

If Pop did anything like D'Antoni S.A. would never see the finals.

[T Park]

Last year's Laker team would've lost this game.

Lakers are an improved team.

[SAtown]

I really dont know whether to be happy or sad

It's December,
Regular Season,
Only our 4th loss,
Without Tony Parker,
Without Duncan,
Only lost by 5,
ETC...

What more do you need? :lol

[greyforest]

Decent game by the Spurs considering no Manu or Tony.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[iminlakerland]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

:rolleyes

it's those kind of comments that make laker fans look so bad.

Hey for the last 3 years if we had a title every other year i'd be damn happy...

[loveforthegame]

I wasn't expecting a win tonight. It's too much to ask for with Duncan and Parker out. However I thought we gave ourselves a chance when we took the lead but more sloppy play and poor defense killed the effort to get back in the game.

Ginobli's shooting I don't worry about so much but those turnovers and forcing the issue does bother me.

[703 Spurz]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

You say that like winning the title every other year is a bad thing.

Dildo

[Medvedenko]

All I got to say is this...if you guys hit those 3's and have TP and TD then no one will stop you...but that goes for most teams really. Good effort, but the game was never in doubt really even though we shot poorly. Oh and you guys were complaining about the refs...please I'm convinced that the spurs are the new Stern team. The Spurs "veterans" get a way with so many holds, grabs, hacks, pushes and illegal picks I've ever seen.

[Kori Ellis]

Pretty good to see them fight. If Manu didn't have a horrible night, they could have won.

Bruce=Beast

[Tek_XX]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

We will....and keep on playing for that 8th seed, if you can manage it.

[T Park]

Did I hear right Oberto had 16 rebounds?

Hot damn.

[TampaDude]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

Keep on trying to get out of the first round of the playoffs... :lol

[ChumpDumper]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.:lol you were shitting your pants until the last three minutes.

[boutons_]

Spurs coulda won after a strong 3rd, but they went cold in the 4rh, while the Lakes shot very hot.

[meta2007]

The lakers are such a bad team. At most, they can finish at no.8 in WC. :rolleyes

[BonnerDynasty]

Bonner needs to learn some fucking defense.

I'm so sick of this shit. Don't even suit up if you are just going to foul them every time after giving up position.

Fuck. He hasn't improved at all from game 1.

25 pts and then too scared to shoot the next game? Jokes and optimism aside, get better or gtfo imo.


Spurs should have won this game.

[Amarelooms]

It's December,
Regular Season,
Only our FIFTH loss,
Without Tony Parker,
Without Duncan,
Only lost by 5,

What more do you need? :lol

Just shut the fuck up and take the damn Christmas present.

[iminlakerland]

As a laker fan i was absolutely dissapointed at how we played tonight. With duncan out and having the lane open for us we settled for outside jump shots. The decision making was horrific.

I'm not too thrilled about a 5pt win against a san antonio team with no ducan and parker, and manu ginobili having probably one of his worst games of his career.

[TampaDude]

Damn...what is with the media fellatiofest over the Celtics???

[m33p0]

Manu should not have played these last 2 games. Half the teams turnovers have to be on him. Never seen anyone pass so badly, so consistently in 2 games. Been better to let him get some rest.

happens when the opposing defense loads up on a guy.

[sammy]

Fuck those bitches! Did you see the confetti falling. These bitches barely beat us without Duncan & Parker! Nothing to be proud of bitches! Yeah they are soo good, please! Weak ass bitches with the refs in their pockets! Those sons of bitches took out our best player with their bullshit fouls! He couldn't play to his full potential as he was in foul trouble throughout the whole fucking game! Can you tell how pissed I am! I apologize if the foul language offends anyone, but this is the only way I can express my anger! At least I didn't break my mirror at my home like last year! I am definitely writing to the fucking NBA, as I am sick and tired of these fucking thugs being allowed hard fouls with the intention of hurting Manu! They allowed that shit to get away and someone's going to get hurt!

[davemaniscool]

We beat the one and done Champs..Keep on playing for that back to back.

Hey TrajicMan enjoy watching your d-league team get kicked out of the first round. Be prepared for more Kobe tears.

[AFBlue]

What does it say that Elson actually played less than Bonner?

In fact, he played the least amount of minutes of any Spur tonight. Is this guy in a doghouse or what?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it....just curious.

[Kori Ellis]

Call down, sammy. They always drop confetti. And Manu was bad on his own - it wasn't on the refs.

[Medvedenko]

We lost to Utah big when they had no Boozer and Okur....our team is young and is a bottom seed team...next year with Farmar, Bynum and Ariza coupled with Kobe, we'll be a lot better. Ship Odom out......that's all I got to say.

[Tek_XX]

Damn...what is with the media fellatiofest over the Celtics???

It's been a while since they could do that to a celtics team.

[MajicMan]

:lol you were shitting your pants until the last three minutes.
Not really. I knew we would win this game. We just looked like shit doing it. At no point before or during the game I thought we would lose. I just know with Parker and Duncan in the game we would get raped.

[SAtown]

FIXED :elephant

You're right, my bad. Also, Dallas is 14-9, and PHX is 17-6 you bandwagoning homo.

Do you think the spurs, suns, mavericks are going to drop to your level. You need better players not mediocre role players.

[iminlakerland]

Brent Barry should of gotten more playing time he was killing us along with bowen.

[Medvedenko]

Who's to say if you had TD and TP it would automatic....if the boys shot the 3 like they did then it would be over....but that's why we play the game. Plus, we don't have Kwame :) and Bynum was jobbed by the refs all game.....

[Medvedenko]

Spurs ran out of gas....really that's it. Nothing more.

People quoting people and changing their shit by "fixing" it is fucking stupid. Is that a Myspace thing?

That was very close to reality....congratulations.

[Cry Havoc]

My. God.


We're 17-5.

We lose a game ON THE ROAD without two of our best players, and people start demanding a trade.

What the hell is wrong with you idiots?

[sammy]

Did you forget to take your meds this evening!!


Fuck you! :bang Your crap team will be out in the first round again! :clap If it wasn't for your rapist Kobe getting rid of Snaq, your team would be in the playoffs, but the ballhog greedy Kobe took all of the money and now you guys will be out in the 1st round! We will have the last laugh! :spin :clap So enjoy your so-called win without Timmy & Parker, there is nothing to be proud of!

[m33p0]

elson should have been in there not bonner. we needed to corral the rebounds. bonner made odom and turiaf looked like studs tonight.

[E20]

Lakers should enjoy this win. It helps them that much more by staying in contention for the 8th-seed and their usual 1st round exit. :lol

[sammy]

Call down, sammy. They always drop confetti. And Manu was bad on his own - it wasn't on the refs.

Thanks Kori! I am calm again! I just had to let off steam! When we have all of our players back, it will be different ending with the Spurs destroying the Fakers with a double digit win! :clap

[TampaDude]

The Lakers are just a fluke team with a fluke win. :lol

[E20]

Only thing I'd like to see was Darius Washington getting more minutes. We needed some scoring and I think it's pretty obvious that on offensive end DWASH >>>> JVAUGHN

[Kori Ellis]

You can't have a breakdown with Timmy and Tony in street clothes. If Manu was even around average today, the Spurs would have won.

Wow...and I thought Laker fans were delusional.

Anyone who thinks the Lakers are an elite team right now is out of their minds. We're better than we were last year, but we're still not elite. We need a true 2nd option to pair with Kobe and for Bynum to develop some more before we can take that next step. We're headed in the right direction though.

The WC is gonna be decided entirely by matchups. The Spurs could get that #1 seed and have to face a team like GSW who could cause them fits and they could be wiped out like DAL was last year. You never know. Who goes deep in the playoffs is going to be determined more by individual matchups than by where teams rank.

[m33p0]

My. God.

its because we had a chance to win it. if we only were able to limit the turnovers, got a few more rebounds and manu stayed off the bloody foul. barry and elson should have been played to their limits. and i don't care if manu was playing badly. with duncan and tony out, he is still the best spurs out there.

[sammy]

WOW!!

Get a life Dude. :smokin

I am not a dude dumbass! Sorry if it offends you that your team is going to be out in the 1st round, but that's reality!

[carina_gino20]

Is Manu hurt? You would've thought the rest after the Mav & Jazz games would've done him good, but then he comes out with two horrible outings. I know he can't be SuperManu everynight, but it was painful watching him out there turning the ball over...brought bad memories of Beno. :lol

But as shitty as that game was, it was good that the Spurs hung around as long as they did tonight. Another good game from Bruce against the Lakers. And it was fun to see the Spurs scrubs scare the Lakers for a while there. :lol it would have been better if Manu joined in the fun. Would have been good too if Wahington got more minutes.

And I hate Jacque Vaughn. :pctoss

P.S. It's a little weird to see a Tim Duncan-DNP, Coach's decision. for me, anyway

[DazedAndConfused]

:lol

You can't have a breakdown with Timmy and Tony in street clothes. If Manu was even around average today, the Spurs would have won.

As bad as Manu may have played tonight, the Lakers played worse. This was the worst performance they have put on all year, by far. Horrible shooting all around. There is no way the Spurs should have won if the Lakers played semi-decent basketball (which they did in the 4th).

[SAtown]

Wow...and I thought Laker fans were delusional.


Don't take Sammy's posts very seriously...

[DazedAndConfused]

I will say this, the Spurs know how to get under a team's skin better than anyone else in the league. I was watching the game with a friend of mine and he was screaming mad at all the little fouls the Spurs were getting away with and the BS ejection of Bynum. I just sat back smiling because that's what it takes to win games when your short-handed.

we(that is we, the spurs) swept the regular season series against the warriors last year and have a winning record against them that stretches for god knows how long. you're confusing us(that is us, the spurs) with the mavericks and the suns.

and please change you're affiliation to the lakers. you're apparently not one of us (again, that is us, the spurs). i'm getting confused by your posts relating to us(ditto). and i'm all dazed because of it.

[ChumpDumper]

The Spurs could get that #1 seed and have to face a team like GSW who could cause them fits and they could be wiped out like DAL was last yearThat's why Pop is throwing games now.

[duncan228]

Unreal.
In one game blog we have two Spurs fans with low blows.
One about Lamar Odem's baby dying and one calling Kobe a rapist.

Get a grip people.
It's basketball. A game.

I'm all for healthy compitition and rooting for your team.
But comments like those are in bad taste. Poor sportsmanship.

Act like the team you cheer for. With class. With respect.
Win or lose.

It's getting real hard to be on this board after a loss.
Can we talk X's and O's, talk about what the team could have done better?
This childish behavior is sickening.
Instead of talking about the game all that comes up is how embarrassing the team is and low blows about our opponents. And fire and trade threads.

Grow up.

[E20]

I didn't notice Duncan on the bench, and towards the end Parker wasn't on the bench as well, looked like he left or something.

[Kori Ellis]

One about Lamar Odem's baby dying and one calling Kobe a rapist.

I don't care about calling Kobe a rapist - that's debatable. But who referenced Lamar's baby?

I agree but the W's are certainly a different team this year. I'm sure with Duncan healthy you can beat the W's in a 7 game series, but you have to admit they beat you handily that last game.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

Bonner needs to learn some fucking defense.

Spurs should have won this game.

Last game I said Bonner had a good game but wanted to see more, if he could keep up that level and I got trashed. I think he was totally lost tonight out there from teh very beginning, kinda his own regular self - I don't know what's the probelm really, is it that he's afraid Pop is going to yell at him if he fucks up? you can't be that lost anyway. I really thought Elson did better than him tonight but none of them both could even hold Oberto's ankles this game.

[Gino20]

Does anyone know when Parker and Duncan will be back??? I know they are banged up, but I am hoping they will both be able to go against the Nuggets. It would suck having them out against both the Nuggets and the Suns. Of course ,I would rather have them healthy for the playoffs...It seems like Ducan is really close from being back. With Parker, he has a sore ankle, so I cant imagine he will be out for a long time. Go Spurs Go!!!

I am damn happy about their performance tonight. They hung in there, and competed like true champions. They could have easily layed down tonight, but they didnt.

[Kori Ellis]

I think Tim will be back next game and Tony the game after that.

I'm just guessing.

[E20]

Y'all some tattle tales.

the passing game horry and brent played were great. parker's injury seems a bit serious (irritation caused by the bone rubbing against soemthing, i heard). hopefully duncan gets to play for the nuggets game. i miss the big guy. had he played tonight despite manu's performance, we have given ourselves a bigger chance at winning. of course, the lakers would also try to play better with him on the lineup. he wouldn't have let odom, ariza and turiaf look like all-stars.

Who do you think they need more against the nuggets??? T-Dun (dang thats horrible lol) or Parker? I am guessing Duncan...

[BonnerDynasty]

They said for Parker, a bone was rubbing something? That doesn't just heal in a couple weeks does it?

[missmyzte]

I was at the game tonight, funny moment at the end:
With 32.7 seconds left in the game, Finley was right in front of my section getting ready to inbound the ball. The fans around me were yelling at him things like "You suck" (real original), "You're too old Finley", etc. They even started a "Finley sucks" chant.

He turns around and calmly (but loudly) says, "God loves me and that's all that matters." We all were rolling laughing ...
Then he inbounded the ball and ended up getting a shot (with 2 seconds left).

[fred33]

how was tony and eva?

duncan. its always duncan. we got washington and vaughn to back up parker. manu and brent can even give the point a spell. but the spurs doesn't have anyone to replace duncan's presence at the post and on defense.

[m33p0]

They said for Parker, a bone was rubbing something? That doesn't just heal in a couple weeks does it?

i'm guessing it was a misquote by the courtside reporter or that its the swelling that's causing it instead of vice versa which would be bad.

With 32.7 seconds left in the game, Finley was right in front of my section getting ready to inbound the ball. The fans around me were yelling at him things like "You suck" (real original), "You're too old Finley", etc. They even started a "Finley sucks" chant.

He turns around and calmly (but loudly) says, "God loves me and that's all that matters." We all were rolling laughing ...
Then he inbounded the ball and ended up getting a shot (with 2 seconds left).

kewl retort!

Well, we still have the best record in the west for now. Shows we clearly need Tim back though, but nice effort.

I was actually encouraged by the game.
We were very short-handed, and we had our chances to actually win.
Granted, the Laker played rather poorly, they took the night off just like the Spurs sometimes do when the other team is missing star players. The Lakers should have won by a bigger margin, but didn't.
