Spurs @ Lakers Game 1 - Game Blog

[David Bowie]

Question:

Is Kobe injusred? Why does he have so few points?

(I haven't been following the Lakers and don't have cable to watch the game)

[MONTENEGRINO]

TD 18 11 1 so far... Uh-uhhh ;)

[ballhog]

Not a walk at all. Stupid call.

[Radiosparks]

Nice defense.

[ATXSPUR]

Spurs need to capitalize damnit!!! Parker fouled.

[ballhog]

Tony holding his head again. Funny.

[mVp]

Timeout... Spurs up 15

[marini martini]

great game

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm surprised Phil hasn't gone to his bench yet. They have been better than his starters.

[boutons_]

keeping it up.............

[alon504]

Woooooooooooooooooo!!! New Orleans Here....GEAUX SPURS....Beat the living shit out of the Fakers!!!!! Wooooooooooooooooooo!!

[01Snake]

We need to start making some shots!

[Lakers_55]

Man your Spurs are kicking our asses seven ways to Sunday. Well played so far. Tonight, you are the better team. Not giving up hope tonight or in the series, just calling it like it is.

[ballhog]

Barkley still hanging of the laker's collective nuts.

How much on the Lakers for this series?

[dbreiden83080]

Suddenly with Kobe not playing well this is a huge game right here for the Spurs.

[td4mvp21]

The Spurs defense has been very good, but the Lakers are a little rusty. That's helped us a bit. But for the most part we've forced a lot of bad shots and mistakes.

[YODA]

can anyone tell me how to get into bonner chatroom...seems i keep going into other room

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense look very good

[bonesinaz]

:lol
Phil still takes TO in between FTs. I had forgotten that little trick.

[ballhog]

Lakers and the crowd look like they're sleepwalking.

[mystargtr34]

Woooooooooooooooooo!!! New Orleans Here....GEAUX SPURS....Beat the living shit out of the Fakers!!!!! Wooooooooooooooooooo!!

:lol thanks

[PlayoffEx-static]

There's a reason we get TOs against the Lakers: We KNOW that fucking offense. Four of our guys have at least three playoffs against them and Horry played there for 6 or 7 years. We know the cuts, the picks, and the passes.

[Avitus1]

LMAO at Pops!

[01Snake]

Help China. We are already owe you enough money as it is. :D

[Rummpd]

Piss on the Lakers mystique - Roll Spurs!

[YODA]

The Spurs are playing exactly like Game 7 in NO. SWEET

[marini martini]

:greedyManu needs to step it up:greedy

[resistanze]

Damn Tony had TD for the layup

[Avitus1]

Timmy is making Gasol his bitch!

[mVp]

Imeeeeee

[Avitus1]

Ime!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I'm gay for Udoka

[ballhog]

Time for Laker run.....Gasol owned. hahah

[Rummpd]

Kick Laker ass.

[mVp]

Tony to the stripe.

[Killakobe81]

Great job so far Sperms ...
Im not happy with this game Kobe is settling for jumpers ...

[mystargtr34]

Nice D Tim

Well done Tony

[Radiosparks]

Good job TP...keep taking it to the hoop.

[MoSpur]

I knew Kobe would start taking all kinds of Js

[mVp]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[4001 STEREO SPUR]

This is fuckin' awesome!!!

[mVp]

20 point lead!!

[Radiosparks]

All night Timmy.

[MoSpur]

Staples crowd booing

[ballhog]

Gasol....no D at all.

[MONTENEGRINO]

+20 :d:d:d

[resistanze]

Damn Gasol really has Duncan in chains!

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MONTENEGRINO]

Timmy & Tony ... Kobe :D

[lefty]

Lakers making a run

Good time out Pop !!!

[MadDog73]

Manu.. WTF?!?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Now THAT is a left hook!

PS I can do that, and I'm a righty... ;)

[mVp]

Fuck... take care of the ball!

[MoSpur]

Manu stinks 2nite

[lefty]

Pop mad at Manu

[MaNuMaNiAc]

Notice how Laker fans are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!

[dbreiden83080]

GOtta keep the pressure on Kobe is going to get hot only a matter of time

[td4mvp21]

Notice how Laker fans are NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!

Yep. Hopefully it stays that way.

[dbreiden83080]

Manu.. WTF?!?

He's been awful tonight

[lefty]

Still a 16 point lead.

Barkley in gamble mode again

[Spurs Brazil]

Wake up Manu

[ATXSPUR]

Kobe is about to go beserk! I can feel it...the Spurs are gonna let kobe sucker them into trying to 1 up his great plays. This will result in the Spurs taking ill advised shots and letting the lakers get right back on the break and into this game. Pop better chew ass NOW! And taking manu out at this point might help too. We don't need any bonehead plays right now.

[GSH]

Donde esta los Laker trolls?

[hater]

the bad thing about this lead is that if Spurs were to lose tonight, it would hurt a lot and be a momentum builder for Lakers.

come on spurs!!!!

[pbandjnocrust]

GOtta keep the pressure on Kobe is going to get hot only a matter of time

+1

[DudleyDawson]

cant you just feel when Manu is about to do something stupid? I can see it about 3 seconds before it happens.

[Killakobe81]

YO this Lakers fan is here what?! WHAT?!

[MaNuMaNiAc]

I don't know what the fuck is wrong with Manu now, but he's hurting us. Take him out for the rest of the game. Maybe he'll get the fucking point!

[Avitus1]

Gotta put D on Kobe, and get the extra pass.

[mystargtr34]

Now THAT is a left hook!

PS I can do that, and I'm a righty... ;)

:lol same... im Timmy Duncan during my shootarounds

[Killakobe81]

Bring it ... i give you guys mad props right now ...

[ManuAddicted]

Please Pop, send Manu to bed right now! :sick

[resistanze]

Odom: 2-9 FG, 4 points.

Welcome back.

[GSH]

YO this Lakers fan is here what?! WHAT?!

It's just important to us to feel you here right now.

[Avitus1]

http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r269/nottombosley/GIFs/hallgiant.gif

That just cracks me up... :lmao

[smeagol]

If Manu starts playing decent ball, this game is over.

TD is back to his old self, TP is playing great, Udoka is a beast . . .

C'mon Manu, wake the fuck up!

[ATXSPUR]

wtf ginobili???? lakers are getting back into this.

[resistanze]

Honestly, Manu GTFO. He's not right tonight.

[mVp]

OMG... WTF was that?!?

[Killakobe81]

[it's me]

WTF sit manus ass the rest of the game

[boutons_]

[mVp]

9-0 run Lakers

[ballhog]

Udoka with nice block. MVP call there.

[Red Adept]

[Radiosparks]

Timmy draws contact and no call?

[mVp]

12-0 run....

[lefty]

Bring back Bowen and Horry !!!!

:bang

[MI21]

I was angry when I saw Pop take Bowen out.... this is why....

[ballhog]

Nice block Tim.

[L.I.T]

Weather the storm.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fark.

Get to the rack.

[Killakobe81]

BS call Freaking Manu knocked Gasol in to Duncan !!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Great job TD

[naico]

Well, Spurs are fuckin' up huge now..

[ATXSPUR]

The Spurs are such a fucking dumb team.

[mVp]

14-0 run... this is getting awful.

[L.I.T]

Damn it Duncan!

[01Snake]

Fuck!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lol same... im Timmy Duncan during my shootarounds

Me too. I modelled my game on Hakeem, then TD. :)

[ballhog]

Spurs ain't hitting shots and playing bad D.

[resistanze]

Wow get Bowen back in.

[DudleyDawson]

This is pathetic..I've seen it a lot this year. Mostly after getting a big lead.

[hive_attack]

Vamos Gasol

[hump]

We fed the beast and they responded!

[ATXSPUR]

Kobe is about to go beserk! I can feel it...the Spurs are gonna let kobe sucker them into trying to 1 up his great plays. This will result in the Spurs taking ill advised shots and letting the lakers get right back on the break and into this game. Pop better chew ass NOW! And taking manu out at this point might help too. We don't need any bonehead plays right now.

I called it...fucking spurs. CAN NEVER DO THINGS THE EASY WAY CAN YOU??? :bang

[Avitus1]

Damn 14-0 Run....

[mystargtr34]

Ah well... back to square one

Play like its an even game

[naico]

damn i thought this one was in the bag..

[hump]

WE have just had a big let down, Get going Spurs

[Avitus1]

Stupid foul.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

What a shitful run. :rolleyes

Better find their game and soon.

[Biggems]

udoka got all ball on Kobe...that was a horrible call....and then Duncan gets hacked by Gasol and no call.

I mean if Kobe is gonna get the call when there is no contact.....Duncan should get a call when he is hit.

[Sigz]

Damn.

[Spurs Brazil]

Bruce to the bench and Lakers made the run

[boutons_]

3rd qtr collapse

[GrandeDavid]

Absolutely f-ed up effort. Ginobili sucking, the team sucking. Ugh.

[Avitus1]

Manu!

[lefty]

33333333333

[ballhog]

Manu for 333333333333333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Freakin 3rd Q again.

Get Manu off the court. he's a liability tonight.

[kevm2]

Awesome coaching decision by Popovich to take Bowen out and allow the Lakers to cut a 20 point lead to six.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone tell Pop to take small ball and shove it up his ass.

14-0 run in the third against small ball.

Good call you dumb son of a bitch.

[hump]

Friggin Retard Gasol

[DudleyDawson]

these lobs looks familiar. Paul & Chandler

[sprrs]

Where the HELL is Bruce Bowen!

[mVp]

Timmy banker

[lefty]

Banker!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Wow. Huge 3.

[naico]

Cmon Timmy, keep it goin'!

[mVp]

Tony!

[Avitus1]

Spurs waking up a bit...

[lefty]

Tpppppppppppppp

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Are we saving Bowen for October or something? Sit him down in the third, Kobe goes on a one man run, we try checking him with Udoka, that doesn't work, so we go to Manu.

While Bowen sits. Are you shitting me?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

CP3 to Chandler.

Now it's Kobe to Gasol.

[Rummpd]

Survive this run and it is over.

[DespЏrado]

Chill people the Spurs are just toying with the Lakers.

[lefty]

Gasol >>>>>>>>>>. Kareem

[ballhog]

Trading baskets now.

[mVp]

Up 7 after 3...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I hope Pop learned a valuable lesson tonight in the third.

Fuck small ball

[lefty]

Good clock management :flipoff

[hump]

Marv salivating all over the Lakers

[Killakobe81]

Yall be SCARED here we COME!!!!!!

[Avitus1]

Time to bring in Bruce...

[Radiosparks]

I hope Pop learned a valuable lesson tonight in the third.

Fuck small ball

Indeed! :bang:bang

[GrandeDavid]

F-, put Bowen in, Pop!

[boutons_]

enough of that shit, turn up the D and hit some fucking shots, 7 pts/3rd?

[Quiet Strength]

Parker should of given the ball up

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

"Hmm, Kobe's going off. Bowen's on the bench. Udoka's in foul trouble. Time to bring in Barry and move Manu over to Kobe"

[/idiotic Popobitch thought process]

[Allanon]

7 point game and the Lakers are coming to life. Not bad considering how crappy they were playing.

Spurs in drought mode.

Let's take of bidness.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Gasol is a sweet offensive player, and with Kobe there all he has to do is hang around near the hoop.

Can't guard a fire hydrant though... :lol

[pbandjnocrust]

Well...we survived the drought for now. Now we'll find out how tired we are after that 7 game series

[Killakobe81]

Look even IF we DONT win ...expect more of this going forward ...

[ballhog]

Withstood the run for now. Don't care if Kobe has 50 points as long as Spurs win. He's gonna get his points. Hate those fucking lobs though.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs up 7 after the 3rd

Bruce to the bench = Lakers big run

[Biggems]

actually in the 3rd we only lost by 1 pt....

it only looked like a bad 3rd quarter cause the Spurs outscored the Lakers by 12 during the first half of the quarter....but then were outscored by 13 in the second half of the quarter.

[TampaDude]

20 point lead!!

That didn't last very long, did it? :bang

Thankfully, the quarter ended...saved by the buzzer.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Someone tell Pop he has the lead tonight. Save the experimenting with personnel and lineups for Friday night. Get this one.

[lefty]

"Hmm, Kobe's going off. Bowen's on the bench. Udoka's in foul trouble. Time to bring in Barry and move Manu over to Kobe"

[/idiotic Popobitch thought process]

Yeah I hated that

[DudleyDawson]

This lead should last for about 1:34 seconds into the 4th quarter. Maybe after they tie or take the lead we'll decide to get serious again.

[Avitus1]

Just gotta hold it down.

[01Snake]

That Yellowbook chick is hot

[ballhog]

Must be saving Bowen for later in the game.

[Biggems]

Doug Collins is annoying the hell out of me.....he is always wrong with his commentary. He always talks like he knows what is going to happen, but the players never actually do what he says they are going to do. Just call the game Doug and stop trying to analyze it.....he has been wrong for 15 years....what a tool

[MI21]

Pop should of known better than to take Bowen out. Sure he had 3 fouls, so what. Let him play the game out. if the Spurs stay up 20 and Bowen fouls out with 5 minutes left, that's all good. You don't play with fire like that, now Kobe has his rhythm, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if he scorches Bowen in the 4th now he has some rhythm to his game.

[resistanze]

What was up with Manu on Kobe??

[TampaDude]

Someone tell Pop to take small ball and shove it up his ass.

14-0 run in the third against small ball.

Good call you dumb son of a bitch.

Yup...Spurs were in control and had the Lakers reeling...then that dumbshit move taking Bowen out...that may cost us this game. :bang

[Avitus1]

Phil Jackson sounds likes hes got a concussion.

[Biggems]

Spurs need to make their open shots and FTs here in the 4th......every point will be vital right now.

[DoubtingThomas]

Just 12 minutes to go guys.

[Avitus1]

Good job Bruce.

[Biggems]

why wasnt that traveling? oh wait, Kobe did it, Nevermind.

[td4mvp21]

Fucking travel!!!!

[BiZNicK]

yes, use up a timeout

just like the suns did way back then...

[ballhog]

Bowen did the old "pull the chair out" move.

[still.focused]

Pop messed up by not going back to Bowen earlier
Kobe sees Ime and Manu and his eyes light up
Now we gotta deal with a very aggressive Kobe in the 4th
Manu should sit to start the 4th for sure

[hater]

Bowen finally back in. WTF Pop?

[ballhog]

why wasnt that traveling? oh wait, Kobe did it, Nevermind.

:lmao

[lefty]

Bowen pulled that trick on Kobe in game 6, in 2003

[DespЏrado]

Yup...Spurs were in control and had the Lakers reeling...then that dumbshit move taking Bowen out...that may cost us this game. :bang

Cost us the game? :lol Just a bit premature...The Spurs will weather the storm. Bowen will be well rested.

[Spurs Brazil]

That was a travel

[resistanze]

Finley...NO.

[Radiosparks]

Finley off tonight.

[GrandeDavid]

Beat this team. Spotted 7 points with 12 minutes to go. If you're destined to be a champion, you should be able to finish this and get the W, Spurs.

[DoubtingThomas]

Spurs just need to weather the storm.

[lefty]

Finley FUCK !!!!

[resistanze]

I hope to God the Spurs lose...dumbass lineup.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley's the 2008 version of Terry Porter. Old and useless.

[MadDog73]

can Spurs rebound from this?

[Killakobe81]

No travel foul!!! he grabbed with his left hand

[lefty]

Bring HORRY !!

Pop fuuuck !!!

[mVp]

FTs for TD

[alon504]

The Spurs can do it...listen at the end of the season the Hornets were down by 30 against the Lakers in the second half and the Hornets went on a run and lost by just 3. If we would have had another minute we would have won that game. All the Spurs have to do is turn it on, baby, and the Lakers will fold. GEAUX SPURS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

[GrandeDavid]

Hit em both, Timmy.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Phil Jackson sounds likes hes got a concussion.

Pop is coaching like he has one.

[Avitus1]

Good job Timmy...

[ballhog]

Just stand there Tony.

[BiZNicK]

barry should have dunked that ball

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

For everything Pop did right in the first half, he's been Zen's bitch in the second.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Vaughn in? Someone tell Pop maybe now isn't the best time to get everyone in the game.

[lefty]

Good Job Bruce

[Spurs Brazil]

Play smart Finley

[lefty]

Vaughn ???????????//

[Spuradicator]

shit, Vaughn

[alon504]

Come on Spurs...take it to the paint.

[Radiosparks]

Take it to the hoop Manu!

[lefty]

Horry

Put him in Pop !!!!!

[BiZNicK]

and 1!!!

[resistanze]

Fucking TD..

[lefty]

And 1!!!!

[mVp]

Fuck yes! Tim and 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!

[AstroCowboy]

That Yellowbook chick is hot

Wish my name with either Mike or Tom too :lol

[duncan228]

Duncan will not go down without a hell of a fight.

[TampaDude]

Pop no wanna lose game...Pop wanna win game...c'mon, guys...nut up!!!

[MadDog73]

Thank God for Timmy

[alon504]

Yes!! Lakers always foul in the paint.

[ballhog]

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

[lefty]

And 0 !

[Spuradicator]

Awesome Tim

[alon504]

Shit.

[DudleyDawson]

oh god, not jacque..dear god, anyone but Jacque

[lefty]

Vaughn and Finley.

Sure

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tim has made some tough shots tonight!!!

OMG!

[mVp]

TD to the line again.

[alon504]

There's your foul again in the paint.

[lefty]

Duncan abusing Turiaff

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I don't think Pop could mismanage the second half of this game any more if he went to lakernet and asked them for advice during the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Td!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Biggems]

Duncan needs to make his FTs....he is gonna be shooting a lot of them this quarter.

[Killakobe81]

WOW give himm the call wow ...

[boutons_]

Tim's FT misses are adding up

[Spuradicator]

Sweet Tim

[hater]

damn this is going down to the wire.

[dbreiden83080]

If we are gonna win it has to be Tim Tonight, he needs to hit his FT's and stay aggressive, Kobe is going to try and take it over late

[td4mvp21]

Well, Lakers made a run. Let's counter Spurs.

[T Park]

Nice of Ginobili to show up tonight....

[lefty]

WOW give himm the call wow ...

:rolleyes

[AstroCowboy]

Spurs, please go on another run!!

[mVp]

Please take out Vaughn after the timeout.

[hump]

Go Spurs Go
