Spurs @ Lakers Game 2 - Game Blog

[lefty]

What's with all the Pop sub-ins?

Too much Chardonnay before the game

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, Manu was wide open. Brick.

[ATXSPUR]

manu...please...stop shooting.

[Tradition]

:lmao:lmao Keep shooting 3's spurs. You are already giving up!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Where the fuck is TP? We need him to show up.

[ATXSPUR]

gasol with 3!!

[Capt Bringdown]

FUCK THESE 3's

[Death In June]

Were not going to win with both PARKER and GINOBLI playing like shit. Hopefully one of them wakes up real soon.

[Fundamental]

Vaughn is a good sub. He'll hustle on defense, and thats something parker isn't doing.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

What's with all the Pop sub-ins?

You've got to realize that Pop thinks he has to get creative and out-create Phil as far as coaching goes. Basically it leads to a lot of stupid substitutions and play sets.

[lefty]

Vaughn :lmao

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Vaughn's done more in 30 seconds to help this team than Parker did in the first 8 minutes.

[1Parker1]

No shots by Parker or Ginobili and the Spurs only down 1. I guess I'll take that. Defense is starting to get better at least.

[dbreiden83080]

Laker bigs piling up fouls

[Fundamental]

I enjoy Pop's "head-game" style of coaching, myself.

[lefty]

Vaughn and Finley making their shots.

Expect our key players to have a shitty game tonight :bang

[ballhog]

Vaughn's done more in 30 seconds to help this team than Parker did in the first 8 minutes.

:flag:

[1Parker1]

gasol with 3!!

I think that was only his 2nd foul....

[duncan228]

Vaughn's done more in 30 seconds to help this team than Parker did in the first 8 minutes.

My God that just sounds so wrong. :lol

[1Parker1]

You've got to realize that Pop thinks he has to get creative and out-create Phil as far as coaching goes. Basically it leads to a lot of stupid substitutions and play sets.

Actually I think Pop is trying to make sure his main players are fresh in the 2nd half/4th quarter when it appears they always tire out.

[ballhog]

When I watch Gasol play, it doesn't look like such a lopsided trade w/ Memphis after all.

[T Park]

So far so good.

Memo Lakers and Laker fans.

These aint the Suns.

[Allanon]

The Spur subs are working pretty good right now. Lakers had to time-out to adjust.

[1Parker1]

When I watch Gasol play, it doesn't look like such a lopsided trade w/ Memphis after all.

:lol Let's hope it continues...

[01Snake]

Play just hard enough/aggressive enough til half and then come out and play Spurs ball in the second half. Need to keep players fresh for the second.

[Fundamental]

fucking lame. SHOES you idiots. did NIKE make him do that? why wouldn't he already be wearing the stupid mamba's...

[lefty]

Vujacic is the next Beno

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I'm all for JV as long as he distributes the ball.

He can make open 17fters now if the Fakers leave him open.

[GopherSA]

Play just hard enough/aggressive enough til half and then come out and play Spurs ball in the second half. Need to keep players fresh for the second.

That's all they need to do...maturity and experience will set in by game's end.

[Deb]

Damn announcers almost swallow their tongues when Kobe makes a shot

[SAtown]

WTF Horry? :lol

[1Parker1]

Oh god that was an ugly possession

[lefty]

Horry

WTF ???????????Q!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MoSpur]

please insert Barry

[Fundamental]

yikes!! haha keep'm coming Horry...we love you anyways

[1Parker1]

Does Horry need glasses/contacts?!

[lefty]

Duncan to the bench

ugh

[milkyway21]

The spurs also have shown to blow a 20 point lead....nothing more nothing less.

You're right though...the series is over in 5.

Believe.

2.

I cant' really see why the Lakers can beat the Spurs in 5. Maybe if you're lucky 7.

Let's get it real-WE HAD BEATEN PHOENIX W/ SHAQ IN 5 and obviously he is a better defender on Duncan than Gasol. And those guys had sent your team fishing 2x in the the last 2 post seasons..

[Fundamental]

no no no nonononono

[1Parker1]

I hate Kobe Bryant.

[Deb]

Several ugly possessions now - change it up Pop

[lefty]

Horry SOB

[MoSpur]

I want Manu to take Sasha to the hole

[Capt Bringdown]

You've got to realize that Pop thinks he has to get creative and out-create Phil as far as coaching goes. Basically it leads to a lot of stupid substitutions and play sets.

It's called panic.

[Sigz]

Does Horry need glasses/contacts?!

lol that was a wack shot.

[1Parker1]

What kind of lineup is this Pop?

[ATXSPUR]

fucking spurs....

[Death In June]

What The Fuck Is This Shit Lineup? Pop is pissing away the game.

[Tradition]

:lmao:lmao The Spurs are settling for jumpshots. I love it! Vaughn for 3!!!:lmao:lmao

[MoSpur]

Why is Vaughn in and not Barry?

[1Parker1]

OH MY GOD, Vaughn just attempted a 3 pointer in that sequence.

[Fundamental]

god dammit....that was suppose to be bowen

[lefty]

Horry open and you pass it to JV for 3?



Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!

[Phil Hellmuth]

is this preseason?

[1Parker1]

Why is Vaughn in and not Barry?

Exactly.

[Deb]

Manu still too tentative

[MannyIsGod]

Wtf With This Lineup?!?!?!?

[Radiosparks]

Pops, why not Barry?

[ATXSPUR]

Several ugly possessions now - change it up Pop

yea right...watch pop run this shit lineup for half the second quarter until we get down by about 17 :bang

[Capt Bringdown]

I see...were going to shoot 3's all nite.

[phxspurfan]

Pop toying with lineups in WCF like it's January

[1Parker1]

Spurs down 5. :pctoss

[Tradition]

I hate Kobe Bryant.


You dont hate him. You think he is a great player who you would love to have on your team.

[milkyway21]

oh no, JV early sighting.

sigh:cry sigh:cry

[MoSpur]

How does Kobe get away w/all those fouls?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Fuck me. Horry 3 miss. Horry 3 miss. Play for Bowen jumper, miss. JV 3 miss.

:pctoss

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Edward Scissorhands? :rolleyes I hate TNT.

[lefty]

Pops, why not Barry?

"Because I hate back-to-back titles ! "

http://i.a.cnn.net/si/2005/players/06/28/wine0705/t1_popovich.jpg

[1Parker1]

Wtf With This Lineup?!?!?!?

I can't even explain that. Vaughn attempting a frickin 3 pointer is what the Spurs offense has now come to.

[Spurs3000]

You have to love those perfect Ginobili feeds inside the key from the middle - and the bricks that follow when Oberto/Duncan refuses to shoot and passes the ball to the corner for a worse look. :bang

[MannyIsGod]

wtf man. This lineup has me on total tilt. Can I get some Brenty fucking Barry?

[ATXSPUR]

I just don't understand this bullshit!! DAMNIT!!! THE FUCKING JUMPERS!!!

[MoSpur]

Photoshopping Bruce? LOL

[1Parker1]

How does Kobe get away w/all those fouls?

Cuz it's Kobe.

[Fundamental]

not sure if ya remember but first halves don't really say much about who ends up winning the second halves.

[Deb]

wtf manu?

[lefty]

Good call

[MannyIsGod]

Pop is being really fucking stupid.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Actually I think Pop is trying to make sure his main players are fresh in the 2nd half/4th quarter when it appears they always tire out.

We've seen this before in the playoffs against Phil, it's not about resting guys, it's panic substitutions trying to find 'the right fit'. Meanwhile, the constant shuffling kills anyone from getting in a rhythm.

[1Parker1]

Game 1 is looking more and more like it's going to come back and haunt the Spurs this series.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

None of the big 3 have shown up but we're still in the game, so I'm okay at this point.

They'll need to turn up soon though, or it's over.

[MoSpur]

Pop is smoking. There is no offense. end of the 1st. What an ugly start

[MannyIsGod]

The Spurs squandered mometem there. It was 17-11, they scored 5 quick points, then didn't score for the rest of the quarter.

that line up at the end of the quarter was fucking trash.

[Deb]

I'm just glad we're only down 5 after that stupid lineup

[lefty]

" Muahahahaha "

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/topstory/sports/popovich_gregg030428.jpg

[ballhog]

Playing like shit and down by 5. Could be worse.

[Budkin]

Tim needs to take this game over. Especially with Pau in foul trouble.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I really liked the Manu, Vaughn, Bowen, Horry, Oberto lineup, particularly with Vaughn spotted up in the corner to shoot a three. I can't fathom how LA was able to send three guys at Manu in that set....

We need to lock Pop up in a room far away from the bench for the rest of this series, it's our only chance.

[lefty]

http://www.gazette.com/db_images/1083_grown.jpg

[ATXSPUR]

Game 1 is looking more and more like it's going to come back and haunt the Spurs this series.

I said game 1 was a MUST WIN! Now we are totally out of sync and rattled. Hello to another 0-2 hole :bang


how the fuck did pop ever win 4 rings with such dumb shit decisions?

[MannyIsGod]

I thought he might be trying to keep people fresh but you don't do it at the expense of a building run. Pop is out smarting himself at the moment.

[GopherSA]

Did the Spurs not play like complete garbage against NO last round?

Come back from the ledge...this isn't over just because of one poor quarter, half, game or pair of games...

...and NO is a better team than LA.

[boutons_]

35% FG, horrible start. can only get better?

Manu's 3 are way too flat.

[MoSpur]

Why did Pop go to the bench so early? I mean its the Western Conf Finals

[Kobulingam]

It would have been better to give Manu the day off and make sure we win 2 at home.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

http://www.cbc.ca/gfx/topstory/sports/popovich_gregg030428.jpg


Phil promised he'd bring the vaseline tonight

[Capt Bringdown]

Another terrible offensive quarter from the Spurs.

This is starting to look like were just up and quitting.

[Budkin]

Spurs need to treat this game as a must win... coming back again from 2-0 is going to be very difficult.

[Fundamental]

damn, it feels like halftime already.

[polandprzem]

Tony and Manu are horrific !

It's not Pops fault

damn

[SAtown]

Spurs need to treat this game as a must win... coming back again from 2-0 is going to be very difficult.

Yep, considering LA is slightly better than NO, and beating NO didn't seem too easy

[Allanon]

...and NO is a better team than LA.

That is the problem with a Spur comeback, the Lakers are much better than the Hornets. The Hornets have no depth, the Lakers use all 11 players well.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I thought he might be trying to keep people fresh but you don't do it at the expense of a building run. Pop is out smarting himself at the moment.

Yep, he's picked up where he left off from the last game.

This team is fucked unless Pop can get over his Phil Jackson fetish.

[Death In June]

Tony and Manu are horrific !

It's not Pops fault

damnThey're all three doing their part to lose the game.

[1Parker1]

Lakers defense is exposed by good ball movement. They're not good at shuffling and reshuffling with mismatches. This is why it makes sense to put Brent Barry in the lineup. His defense and shots can't be any worse than Finley/Vaughn.

[itzsoweezee]

damn, it feels like halftime already.

i know what you mean. this is getting hard to watch.

[ballhog]

damn, it feels like halftime already.

Feels like the 3rd quarter drought.

[lefty]

Pop : " I don't know why L.A restaurants are offering me free wine, but hey, what the heck ! "

http://www.sugarloafridge.com.au/ee/images/uploads/04-chardonnay.jpg

[milkyway21]

good steal there Mike or we're down 7.

looks like TP/Manu hadn't found a way to counter-act Phil's defense

34 % FG Spurs
50% FG LA :cuss

0-2 FT Spurs
5-5 FT LA

[ATXSPUR]

Pop is out smarting himself at the moment.

George Karl and our old friend Mikey are the only two coaches I think pop can outsmart :bang

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tony and Manu are horrific !

It's not Pops fault

damn

Can you explain what we're trying to do on offense? Because it's pretty obvious our team doesn't have a fucking clue. And that's on Pop.

Seriously, Horry's shooting off the top of the backboard, Vaughn's spotted up for a corner three, what the hell is Manu supposed to do with three guys on him?

[Allanon]

Spur 3rd quarter drought starting a bit early tonight.

[lefty]

Finley ????

[PumpUpTheJam]

Ouch.

[lefty]

Walton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Larry Bird

[1Parker1]

Finley ur defense is heinous. Luke Walton frickin just blew by u for a reverse layup. :pctoss

[ATXSPUR]

What The Fuck Parker?????

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Good lord Pop, they've got Gasol and Odom inside. They're mental midgets defensively. Run them through the ringer with a motion offense, not this predictable shit you're running out there.

[1Parker1]

And they're missing FT's.

[PumpUpTheJam]

Beautiful, Tony.

[lefty]

Spurs basketball!

Finally !

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp!!!!!!!!

[Spurs3000]

They're all three doing their part to lose the game.

Manu's threes have been flat but he's been very good at creating shots for others today.

[spurscenter]

Spurs defense is horrible. Horrible

[lefty]

Vujacic >>>>>>>>>>>>>. Jerry West

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn Manu, even if you're hurting, take it to the rack. The three ain't falling.

[ATXSPUR]

Manu is becoming HUGE liability.

[Capt Bringdown]

Did the Spurs not play like complete garbage against NO last round?

...and NO is a better team than LA.
You ob-vi-ous-ly don't know the Spurs history against PJ and the Lakers.

We've got that deer in the headlights look.

They are totally in our heads.

[1Parker1]

Lakers offense is so smart. Just give the ball to whoever Finley is guarding and they can score.

Ginobili meanwhile needs to stop with the 3 pointers.

[Slippy]

Manu settling for the 3 too often.

[Spurs Brazil]

wake up Manu

You're fucking us

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fucking TNT. If Manu flops they show 8 different replays and call him the biggest flopper in the league. Vujacic flops and he's playing great D and using his quickness.

Assholes.

[Admidave50]

FUCK Manu, I'm tired of seeing him scoring lameass 3 pt!

Another turnover caused by Vujacic!

Wake the fuck up Manu!!

[Deb]

Get horry out of there please

[MoSpur]

Horry needs to quit shooting

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Manu, DRIVE. Get your drive going and the shot will come.

Manu is really off again. :depressed

[peskypesky]

bench Manu for the rest of the game, please!

[Phil Hellmuth]

did they really just call a foul on oberto?

[Capt Bringdown]

We're shooting 36%...

[peskypesky]

where the fuck is Barry? he can't possibly play worse than Manu

[ATXSPUR]

We need Horry out...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

It's great watching Horry shoot us out of this game. If there's one thing you can count on it's Pop relying on his old role players to bail his ass out against LA and failing miserably.

[MoSpur]

Why not insert Bonner instead of Horry?

[lefty]

Message to the Spurs

http://fotograf.turkcebilgi.com/d/53008-4/64-Never+Give+Up.jpg

[Radiosparks]

Ime....with a 3!!!!!!!!

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime 3333333333333333333333333333

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why not insert Bonner instead of Horry?

They said Pop said before the game he was going to go to Horry early and give him more minutes than we're used to seeing. True to his word, the stubborn son of a bitch is following through with that plan.

[SAtown]

Ime!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Another terrible offensive quarter from the Spurs.

This is starting to look like were just up and quitting.

Yeah, they're quitting in game 2 of the WCFs. :rolleyes

STFU, seriously.

We're playing poorly, not quitting.

[PumpUpTheJam]

Shouldn't Odom be dead already? How old is this guy?

[MoSpur]

As bad as we're playing, we're down 3

[peskypesky]

great 3 by Ime :)

great alley-oop by Odom :(

[Deb]

Whats the foul stats? Fakers have a bunch

[1Parker1]

That was a nasty dunk :(

[Tradition]

Manu is playing like a pussy. Even I find this shocking. He is not even trying to drive.

[lefty]

Finley thinks he is Jordan

:flipoff

[Spurs Brazil]

WTF was that shot Finley. You're not even hitting the open ones.

Pass the damn ball

[ATXSPUR]

It feels like the Spurs are down 23 instead of 3. Udoka has been wonderful lately and i'm sick of these fucking LOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dbreiden83080]

We can't beat this team if Manu is playing like this because he is hurt. He plays better or forget it

i know. ridiculous. we've been playing like absolute shit, and we're still so close! how is that possible?

[1Parker1]

As bad as we're playing, we're down 3

Yea, but Spurs aren't getting any stops. Lakers are just missing open shots. It's not cuz of their defense the Spurs are only down 3. And they still have not taken the lead. Every time they get it to 3, it goes back up to 5 or more.

Kobe is getting a lot of rest right now and Spurs weren't able to capitalize thanks to Finley's shit defense.

[pawe]

Horry and fin sucking ass right now

[nikegirl]

JESUS CHRIST STOP TAKING JUMPERS.

god what is up with them?? take it to the hole get fouled even if you don't make all free throws it'll put them in foul trouble.


oh and ginobili, please stop taking contested 3pters. PUT BARRY in come on now! finley and vaughn?? are you kidding me?

Too many jumpshots from the Spurs.

Ime has been awesome in the playoffs. He's a keeper

[lefty]

i know. ridiculous. we've been playing like absolute shit, and we're still so close! how is that possible?

The only answer is : Spurs basketball

But I don't know what that means

[peskypesky]

Manu is playing like a pussy. Even I find this shocking. He is not even trying to drive.

if his ankle is hurting, i can understand. but then he needs to tell pop to put barry in. we can't afford to be playing 4 on 5.

[ATXSPUR]

It really really really would be nice to have Jax right about now.

[dbreiden83080]

Come on spurs

[Allanon]

i know. ridiculous. we've been playing like absolute shit, and we're still so close! how is that possible?

The Laker starters are still resting. Phil will ride the bench until the Spurs get hot I think.

[nfg3]

It's a reverse from game 1. We suck in the 1st half only to take the game in the 2nd.

I'll take it. :)
'
:flag:

[1Parker1]

I think I just saw Kori behind the Spurs bench!

[lefty]

Pop : "We're doing a good job penetrating "

WTF ???

[MoSpur]

I too want the Mango Tree inserted to see what he brings to the game. He is a better option as the backup PG than Vaughn

[abelle23]

barry in

[Capt Bringdown]

Barry sighting!

[lefty]

Barry in !!!!

[Spurs3000]

if his ankle is hurting, i can understand. but then he needs to tell pop to put barry in. we can't afford to be playing 4 on 5.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but Barry's no Ginobili. Even when Manu's playing hurt.

[1Parker1]

On cue, lead back up 5.

[lefty]

Farmar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kidd

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK you Finley

Make a dakmn shot

[pawe]

fuck finley

[Radiosparks]

Lets go Spurs!!!

[lefty]

Ime WTF ????????????????

[MoSpur]

Why isn't Bowen in to guard Kobe?

[Slippy]

The Shooting is getting ugly for the spurs

[milkyway21]

down 5 again.

where's TONY PARKER, the best player in D world, BTW?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Hell yeah!

http://www.bijlmakers.com/fruits/mango/Mango%20trees%20with%20hanging%20fruits.JPG

[ATXSPUR]

Udoka just got tayshauned!

[1Parker1]

Oh my god. Udoka u suck.

[lefty]

Ime Wtf 2.0 ?????????

[PumpUpTheJam]

He's 28

You're joking. It seems like he's been around forever.

[DubMcDub]

What the hell is with the Spurs shooting so many 3's? They look like the freaking '06 Suns out there.

[lefty]

Feed Duncan !!!!!!!!!!

FUCK

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

3-12 on threes. Can we quit friggin' shooting them already?

[MoSpur]

I see Bowen ready to check in. Maybe Pop did watch tape of the 3rd qtr

[Radiosparks]

Dunk that shit!

[dbreiden83080]

This is just bad bad bad Spurs

[Deb]

Kobe in, Bowen out WTF Pop?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I can't believe y'all are mad at Udoka on that. He has as much of a vertical as Tim.

[Spurs Brazil]

Ime pathetic, Finley terrible

We're in trouble

[pawe]

they should change the team name to SA Bricks

[lefty]

You know what the bad news are ?

Kobe has not taken that many shots in the 1st half :bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang

[1Parker1]

Spurs are making me want to cry. After all they've gone through this postseason, with the Suns series and the Hornets series, this is how they are looking?

[Anti.Hero]

Jesus Fucking Christ Udoka. Quit getting your shit blocked you dumbass!

[ballhog]

Why are so many guys afraid to dunk it? Jeez.

[Tradition]

if his ankle is hurting, i can understand. but then he needs to tell pop to put barry in. we can't afford to be playing 4 on 5.

But he seems healthy enough to be playing. I think he is favoring it not wanting to risk making the injury worse. If that is the case then he needs to not play because he isnt helping the team any if he is hesitent on driving to the basket.

[dbreiden83080]

Feed Duncan !!!!!!!!!!

FUCK


Phil is not fucking around he is getting doubled a lot more and we are missing every open shot

[Deb]

Nut it up, and drive it in.

[Emanuel20]

I can't believe we keep on turning the ball...Put some glue boys and stick to your hands!

[Admidave50]

Duncan needs to be more aggressive, damn it!

Gasol has already 2 fouls and won't do anything, yet Tim is passing the ball!!

It's time to man up, Manu is sucking and Tony doesn't have a great game!

[MoSpur]

The Lakers are playing smarter and with more energy. That goes for coaching too.

[Allanon]

Udoka just got tayshauned!

That single Tayshaun block was one of the best ever. Reggie's never going to live that one down :D

[Slippy]

Aside from Tony , no-one wants to take it inside. Lakers daring spurs to shoot jumpers.

[nikegirl]

Please feed Duncan and stop shooting 3's if you can't make them! Or if you do please make sure you're open!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We're on pace to shoot 32 three pointers. And make 7.

Stupid.

[ATXSPUR]

If we continue to play this way I honestly don't see us winning one game this series. Fucking Spurs and their offensive droughts!! And Pop's shitty lineups aren't helping.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Ginobili is so fucking worthless out there he doesn't even NEED THE BALL IN HIS HANDS to turn it over.

[pawe]

keep it close and we'll survive in the fourth q

[milkyway21]

if the Lakers are so good why we're only down by 5? :p:

[1Parker1]

Spurs need to know, the Lakers aren't the Hornets. Coming back from 0-2 against them is a daunting task.

[Anti.Hero]

These Spurs do not deserve to even be playing in the WCF with such shitty offense.

[Emanuel20]

I have to admit Sasha is outplaying Ginobili

[dbreiden83080]

Please feed Duncan and stop shooting 3's if you can't make them! Or if you do please make sure you're open!

Lakers are going to cruise to a blowout if the gameplan is Double Duncan and Spurs miss wide open anything

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Spurs are missing open threes, the lakers fucking suck, seriously

we have everything we want in this game to win. It'll just take us making open shots. Ginobili is also a fucking bum ass loser out there, so that doesn't help things.

[MoSpur]

Please put Ime on Odom and Bowen on Kobe.

[E20]

We're only down by like 5 and we're playing like shit. I'm not that worried.

[1Parker1]

Spurs going away from Tim Duncan. He needs to assert himself in this game.

[lefty]

You guys realize that the Kobe show has yet to start

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Phil is not fucking around he is getting doubled a lot more and we are missing every open shot

Phil is using the same defense (packing the paint on Tim) that he used back in the day to smoke our asses. After all of these years Pop still hasn't figured out how to deal with it other than attempt to get cute with substitutions.

[Whisky Dog]

Nut Check Time.

[1Parker1]

I have to admit Sasha is outplaying Ginobili

Understatement of the night. :lol

[timmydidit]

pathetic

[timmydidit]

thats how its dun parker

[Borosai]

It's painful watching these guys on offense: no flow, no control, no confidence.

[Capt Bringdown]

Game one appeared to have ripped the living guts out of the Spurs.

They're playing like pussies and Pop is in micro-management, second-guessing mode.

This is what the Lakers do to us.

[Emanuel20]

Understatement of the night. :lol

I was gonna say Bonner is outplaying Manu but that just seemed mean!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gasol's got two fouls and Tim's shooting jumpers. Unreal.

[lefty]

Duncan take it to the rim!!!

C'mon!

[Spurs Brazil]

Be agressive Td

Gasol has 2

[MoSpur]

Memo to the rest of the team: look at what TP does and copy cat. Even you Duncan

[pawe]

TD wtf is that shot????

[duncan228]
