Spurs vs. Lakers Game 4 - Game Blog

[TampaDude]

PJ bitching about the refs already...Spurs got this...

[Pistons < Spurs]

HOLY SHIT. someone PLEASE create a gif from the clip of gasol stickin' his ass out after a whistle. it happened right here toward the end of the first quarter. he imitated getting bumped into with his ass underneath the basket. anyone know the clip im talking about???? :lmao

Yeah, I saw it too! That was pure hilarity!

It might have been right after the missed lob dunk pass from Kobe

[Septic]

Phil blaming the refs already LMFAO He looked pissed, not so mch zen now.

[EscaladeSteve]

Phil Jackson is such an a$$...blaming the game on the refssssss????? Loser

[sedale threatt]

hate to say it, but phil is right about the refs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

TNT going off on Tim's three steps, yet no replays of Kobe taking three steps :rolleyes

[SpurAddict561]

After further review it was a walk but only 2 1/2 steps

not 4-5 like CP3 is famous for

[drunkendan]

Phil is a little pissed

[koopa]

fucking phil, now stern is gonna call and tell the refs to make calls for the lakers cause his lover phil is complaining

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

message to pop: give finley's minutes to barry

Yeah, um, you're a little late to the party on that one. :lol

[peskypesky]

Bowen taking it to the hole!!

[AztecPrincss]

hahaha guys on the whistles jajaja how does it feel to have them under your skin fukrs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO SPURS GO

[hitmanyr2k]

They're doubling the hell out of Ginobili. Smart move by Phil.

[ballhog]

Zen Master sounding like a Zen Douche.

[L.I.T]

Bruce?

[lefty]

Duncan

The new Lebron

And you are witness :toast

[Kamala]

It's amazing Doug Collins can even speak with all of that Laker cock in his mouth!

[turiaf for president]

ronnnnny!!

[koopa]

why the fuck can't we play defense, and why the fuck does bowen shoot?? fucking bum

[NZHayden]

whats going on guys fuck i hate these close games and why are they playing solja boy

[Bob Lanier]

Uuuuuuooooooooof!

[peskypesky]

Joey Crawford is reffing....and Jackson's complaining about the refs????

[VinnyTestesVerde]

cry vujacic, cry

[Radiosparks]

Finley better knock some shots in.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

After further review it was a walk but only 2 1/2 steps

not 4-5 like CP3 is famous for

No, it was two. He caught it, then one big step, two big step, Statue of Liberty.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

FInley back in. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

[turiaf for president]

manuuuuuu

[ballhog]

Sasha out of control there.

[Septic]

No good shots being taken last few positions.

[lefty]

Finley in

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[EscaladeSteve]

Anyone see Manu getting hacked to crap in the corner on every posession?

[L.I.T]

*sigh* Finley in the game and Manu still sucking.

[peskypesky]

man if we would just make a few more of our open shots, we could tie this shit up

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LMAO at any Laker fan with Kobe Bryant on their team crying about Tim taking three steps.

[LakerRings]

hate to say it, but phil is right about the refs

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gotta get Manu the ball in space, or at least give him a pick to work with.

[koopa]

why the fuck can't we be consistent, they ain't that old, playing every other day shouldn't be that bad, especially since pop doesn't even allow players to play big minutes, fucking bums

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

C'mon Manu, why are you going baseline? Of course they'll trap that. Get TO THE MIDDLE.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Opinions:

1. Is Tony better than Tim at this point?

2. Can we win like that?


I know that Tony was the Finals MVP, but I still wonder?

I think Tony is now better than Tim.

I don't know if we can win like this.

[peskypesky]

manu sucking

[turiaf for president]

mannuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Septic]

WOw throwing this catch up we had going

[lefty]

Thanks God for Spurstalk !!!

I would be depressed otherwise

[VinnyTestesVerde]

LMAO at any Laker fan with Kobe Bryant on their team crying about Tim taking three steps.

:rollin

[Bob Lanier]

Walton made a layup?!

[L.I.T]

Manu is in Game 1-2 mode. Mother fucker.

[sedale threatt]

no answer for walton

[Radiosparks]

Garbage!

[peskypesky]

Lakers thank Finley

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Don't the refs realize this LA? We don't foul, the other team fouls us every missed shot we have, and any time the opponent scores it should be a travel

fify.

[duncan228]

Duncan on the player cam for the second quarter. (Sorry if posted already.)

[01Snake]

Weak

[DazedAndConfused]

That was perhaps the worst reffed 1st quarter I've ever seen in my life.

The Spurs should be down 20 after all those BS calls.

[thekingrobert]

Finley straight suckin ass

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shit, Manu is a worry. Pop needs to run something to get him in the game.

[Deb]

Manu needs to be more aggressive

[mystargtr34]

:lol fuckin Manu gonna cost us another game

[L.I.T]

Oh ok, good job bench players. Way to fuck up and let the lead get bigger with Duncan and Kobe out.

[dbreiden83080]

Get Duncan back in this game.

Our D sucks, We need another big one from Manu, come on MANU

[SpurAddict561]

wow...we're gonna lose this one badly if this pace continues...

[acidsmoke86]

WOO LUKE WALTON !!! KEep it up bench ! :downspin:

[sedale threatt]

duncan needs to outrebound walton or it's turn out the lights

[lefty]

We are making Turiaf and Walton look like Parrish and Walton

:bang:bang:bang:wow

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu is in Game 1-2 mode. Mother fucker.

Manu is getting doubled every time because piece of shit Michael Finley is on the court and LA isn't even bothering to guard him.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley in = instant Lakers run

[dbreiden83080]

Oh ok, good job bench players. Way to fuck up the lead with Duncan and Kobe out.

Their bench really is better, sadly

[koopa]

this is so embarrassing, we should have just lost to the hornets, they at least have respectable players, but losing a series to a bunch of scrubs like walton, radmonovic, sasha, and old ass fisher with a fucked up foot is just embarrassing

[SpurAddict561]

Manu is back to game 1 Manu

fuckin pathetic...come on GINO?!!?!?!?!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Need to play Barry and Manu together to jump start Manu.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

no answer for walton

:lol

[TampaDude]

It's still early...the Spurs got this...don't worry... :toast

[Bob Lanier]

Machine is shutting down Manu as per usual. No surprises.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Manu needs to just take it to the rim, stop dishing it.

[Kobulingam]

How da frig did the MAVs give Finley a bazillion dollar contract at such an old age?

[peskypesky]

will Manu or Finley score tonight? inquiring minds want to know

[ballhog]

That was perhaps the worst reffed 1st quarter I've ever seen in my life.

The Spurs should be down 20 after all those BS calls.

What was that lane violation call? Gasol over the back on every play?

[hitmanyr2k]

You have to love how LA's players cut to the rim off doubleteams for easy shots. I remember a time where the Spurs players USED to do that.

[dbreiden83080]

Finley needs to sit the rest of the game

[VinnyTestesVerde]

this is so embarrassing, we should have just lost to the hornets, they at least have respectable players, but losing a series to a bunch of scrubs like walton, radmonovic, sasha, and old ass fisher with a fucked up foot is just embarrassing

boo this man

[aka_USAPA]

:lol fuckin Manu gonna cost us another game

This game IS the series. If the Spurs lose, it will be on Manu but the Lakers know that. That's why they are taking away his moves. Figure out Manu, figure out the Spurs. That's simple enough.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Why are we doubling on the block? All double teaming does is give LA easy hoops, their whole offense is predicated on double teams.

Pull your head out, Pop (oh, and get your super scrub Finley back on the bench).

[DazedAndConfused]

The lane violation call was LEGIT moron.

Gasol hasn't gone over the back of anyone. Spurs just aren't hustling for the ball.

[Deb]

Finley such a friggin liability - why is Pop continuing to stick with him?

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

will Manu or Finley score tonight? inquiring minds want to know

Manu will score soon.

[ballhog]

Spurs need some big 3's.

[Admidave50]

stupid defense and bad offense, Manu's not playing good!

Fuck -9

[NewJerSpur]

So far, the shots aren't falling and the ball isn't moving. Must move the ball to get easier open shots and MUCH earlier in the shot clock. Good adjustment by Phil on Manu...figured after the last game he'd start quadruple teaming him, so now the game falls to the bench.

[Bob Lanier]

Phil Jackson has really gotten fat sometime in the last few years. You'd think he were the Spurs coach and Pop the Lakers coach at first glance.

[GrandeDavid]

What Fucking Bullshit This Effort Is Thus Far!!!!!!!!!!!! Fuck This Shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[peskypesky]

anyone else think Thomas should get a few minutes?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Machine is shutting down Manu as per usual. No surprises.

With a double team helping his ugly ass out. :lol

Take off the homervision goggles.

[L.I.T]

Manu is getting doubled every time because piece of shit Michael Finley is on the court and LA isn't even bothering to guard him.

I'm more pissed by that idiotic turnover on the drive.

But yes, Finley = KT last series.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Tighten up the rotation, Pop! The only bench guys who should see the floor are Barry, Udoka, Horry and occasionally Thomas. NO MORE FINLEY.

[lefty]

Sasha on Manu

Yay !

[Spurs Brazil]

TD from Manuuuuuuuuuuuu

[Pistons < Spurs]

Timmmy!!! nice pass by Manu!

[peskypesky]

manu FINALLY did something

[Septic]

w00t

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Barry in, Spurs offense opens back up with an easy layup to Tim.

I'm shocked.

And now we get Finley on Odom :rolleyes Great.........

[koopa]

why do these quarters feel like they are taking forever???

[lefty]

I counted 5 seconds

[L.I.T]

Hmmmmm...I'm going to bitch some more abotu Manus passing.

[lefty]

Finley on fire

[turiaf for president]

finley!!!

[peskypesky]

Finley misses again. Way to go, Pop.

[Spurs Brazil]

Make a damn shot Finley

[Bob Lanier]

Walton is unstoppable!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley in, Manu out, Horry not shooting. Lame brick by Finley.

Popdamnit, get Finley out of the game. He sucks.

[Septic]

Finley blew the shot and gave the ball to them for the rebound lmfao

[Radiosparks]

Finley...hit your shots!

[Pistons < Spurs]

rebound the damn ball..

[Deb]

They are outrebounding us badly , what the shit?

[hitmanyr2k]

The Lakers are daring Barry and Finley to shoot the ball. Pull the fuckin trigger Brent.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

our rebounding really SUCKS TONIGHT! :pctoss

[Spurs Brazil]

Shot the ball Brent

3PF on Odom

[peskypesky]

fucking spurs have no balls. everyone passing up wide open shots. even barry!!!!

[L.I.T]

Jesus, with Horry and Finley its basically 3 on 5.

[DespЏrado]

Got Damn Spurs play some good ball.

[remingtonbo2001]

Please sit Finley

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I never wish injury on anyone, but it'd be nice if Finley would sprain something so Pop couldn't screw up and play him anymore.

[Bob Lanier]

Refs have been pretty good tonight, but that was just an awful call.

[sedale threatt]

lakers extending the lead with kobe on the bench--not good

[lefty]

Luke Walton >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Bill Walton

....against the SPurs only

[acidsmoke86]

walton already looking like a all-star thanks spurs.

[baseline bum]

Fuck. We're playing 3 on 5 with Horry and Finley.

[remingtonbo2001]

Please take Finley out of the game.

[Spurs Brazil]

Finley out Bruce in

[SpurAddict561]

Nice to see Rob hit some FTs, maybe it'll wake his shot up...SHIT

[Mavs<Spurs]

Five rebounds through the first 16 minutes?

Not even one rebound every three minutes?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Shrews play by Horry.

[baseline bum]

Jesus, with Horry and Finley its basically 3 on 5.

:lol


Fuck. We're playing 3 on 5 with Horry and Finley.

[Septic]

Barry Barry

[SpurAddict561]

goooooood

let's go

only down 5, AGAIN!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Finley and Horry in. 3 on 5? Maybe Pop can put in Damon so it's 2 on 5 offensively.... :rolleyes

[turiaf for president]

vladeeeeeeee

[peskypesky]

god damn it

[SpurAddict561]

fuck...can't leave 3 pt shooters open

damnit boys

[Mavs<Spurs]

Bruce is the better shooter.

Good substitution!

[lefty]

What do we need the most ?

1. a gut check

2. a hip check

[hitmanyr2k]

Horry is dead weight out there right now. Won't shoot. Can't defend, can't rebound. WTF. Where's Thomas?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This lineup is shit. Fuck you Pop.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

radmonovic look like he's wearing a wig made of black dryer lint

[Septic]

My God Fucking Rebounds

[lefty]

Farmar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Michael Cage

[Bob Lanier]

That should've been an over-the-back on VladRad though.

[turiaf for president]

el gringo got a board. nice jordan!

[peskypesky]

if pop doesn't play thomas, we have no chance

[SpurAddict561]

this is fucking pathetic

no hustle what so ever

by ANYONE

jesus fucking christ

[Deb]

Friggin rebounding is killing us

[koopa]

oh my fucking god, every time we get close we leave some bum open and they make a 3 pointer.......

oh my fucking god again, rebound the fucking balls you fucking faggots

[DespЏrado]

back to a ten point lead got to turn this thing around soon

[acidsmoke86]

WOO do MACARENA dance RAAAADMANOVIC FOR THE 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Pistons < Spurs]

BB from loooong range!! Should give him 4pts for that one!

[L.I.T]

:lol


It's so obvious, only Pop could miss it. :lol

[Radiosparks]

Barry..gotta love him!

[lefty]

Barryyyyyyyyy

[hitmanyr2k]

Keep pulling the trigger Brent.

[ballhog]

Barryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Bob Lanier]

Barry for MVP.

[DespЏrado]

Wtg BArry

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Horry is dead weight out there right now. Won't shoot. Can't defend, can't rebound. WTF. Where's Thomas?

Finley and Horry have been a part of past title runs. Who cares if they're 800 years old and haven't given me anything, I'm going to play them. It worked out great when I went with Porter against LA back in the day.[/Pop]

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tim has the same number of turnovers as he does rebounds.


Spurs can't win if that remains true and it has lasted the first quarter and a half.

Not good.

[lefty]

Parker SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOB

[Bob Lanier]

What the bloody fuck? When has an NBA team EVER been given that call?

[peskypesky]

why does pop not want rebounding?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

TOTALLY different team with Barry out there. He has to play as much as he can for the rest of this series.

[SpurAddict561]

wow@ the blatant push off

rookie move lmao

[koopa]

omg, tony is a fucking bum, this fag needs to just sit his own ass down...

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop must be trying to lose this game, Horry and Finley are sucking dick. Get them out of there.

We are getting killed on the glass and Kurt Thomas is growing roots on the bench.

:td

[lefty]

Parker can't throw his floater ?

Dumbfuck

[hitmanyr2k]

Way to go strong there Tony. You think if you turn your back on the shot they're going to bail you dumbass?

[Whiteguy]

lmfao refs handing them the game

[peskypesky]

this is fucking pathetic

no hustle what so ever

by ANYONE

jesus fucking christ

bullshit.
barry is hustling his ass off.

[Popo>Phil]

Finley and Horry in. 3 on 5? Maybe Pop can put in Damon so it's 2 on 5 offensively.... :rolleyes

No big shot bob anymore... hate Bonner in pop's doghouse:bang:bang:bang

[DazedAndConfused]

This inconsistency with calls is maddening. Just fucking let them play. Stop calling this ticky tack bullshit.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lakers making stupid violations, SPurs need to capitalize damn it!

[dg7md]

Pop is probably scrambling to try to find Tony Massenburg or Glenn Robinson on the bench.

[dbreiden83080]

Reb Reb Reb, this is all about Reb, the season is on the line and we are getting owned on the glass

[Deb]

Barry has been the one friggin bright spot so far - things can only look up from here

[itzsoweezee]

rebounding is killing us.

[ballhog]

hahahahahahahaha...........Farmer pushes off on a breakaway.

[01Snake]

Michael "Mason" Finely

[DespЏrado]

Tim has the same number of turnovers as he does rebounds.


Spurs can't win if that remains true and it has lasted the first quarter and a half.

Not good.


Jesus that's a bad sign.

[SpurAddict561]

and ya, Barry needs big minutes from here on out

this is probably his last season anyway, let's put some more wear on that old guy!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF is with our rebounding???

[baseline bum]

It's time for Kurt Thomas. We're losing this game because we can't grab a fucking defensive rebound.

[koopa]

i've always thought pop was teh most over rated coach in the nba, and he proves me right every other night

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

19-8 rebounding for LA, and the big man averaging six boards a game in the playoffs (Thomas) can't get off the damn pine.

[lefty]

WOO do MACARENA dance RAAAADMANOVIC FOR THE 3 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As we speak, Lebron James is drilling the whole Washington Wizards team @ Rucker Park.

[polandprzem]

Lakers demolishing the spurs

20-8 glass


:pctoss

[ballhog]

lmfao refs handing them the game

Douche

[peskypesky]

TOTALLY different team with Barry out there. He has to play as much as he can for the rest of this series.

absofuckinglutely.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

lmfao refs handing them the game

excuses already? sad...

[dbreiden83080]

Manu has yet to score

[thekingrobert]

let's just stay close Manu and Duncan havent got going yet

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Barry showed up..

Everyone else all did not... :lol

[peskypesky]

Lakers demolishing the spurs

[dbreiden83080]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop is probably scrambling to try to find Tony Massenburg or Glenn Robinson on the bench.

http://www.nba.com/media/act_kurt_thomas.jpg

[lefty]

rebounding is killing us.

Oberto : " Aaaah, my legs "

[Budkin]

Still not worried. Whatever adjustments have to be made... we are winning this damn game!

[dbreiden83080]

let's just stay close Manu and Duncan havent got going yet

Duncan has, Manu not

[Septic]

Pop is probably scrambling to try to find Tony Massenburg or Glenn Robinson on the bench.:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin

[peskypesky]

Pop has got to shorten the rotation. no more finley. no more horry.

[LakerRings]

refs keeping spurs in this game. pathetic.

[boutons_]

14 2nd chance laker pts,
destroyed on the boards (spurs not hustling)
Manu 0 pts

[Spurs Brazil]

We must play perfect to finish this quarter

[DazedAndConfused]

Seriously, this ticky tack BS has got to stop.

[GT1]

lol @ the refs.

[mystargtr34]

Get Horry out of the fuckin game he cant hit a shot... he cant do anything ... really.

Got is it that ard to find a big man in the NBA who can at least put back an offensive rebound...

[Mavs<Spurs]

We need rebounding.

It looks like that means Kurt Thomas.

And that responsibility first off belongs to Tim Duncan!


Go to Work!

[peskypesky]

Has anyone seen Tony Parker? Did he suit up tonight?

[koopa]

i don't get how you go from having 21 rebounds to only having 2 rebounds.......... tim is falling off

[polandprzem]

betcha Kurt Thomas would've grabbed a few boards by now

He's been awefull this series

I said about rebs in the keys to victory


:depressed


And Kobe still did not took off

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Doug Collins bringing up the asterick.

I really wish he'd eat shit and die.

[boutons_]

LAkers +8 FGA

[Septic]

Wow no call.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gasol hacks DUncan, no call. Kobe bumps Bowen, foul on Bowen.

[lefty]

Duncan you were double teamed you stupid dumbfuck !!!!!!! :flipoff

[Sway]

Finally, no Finley or Horry on the floor! Maybe now we can do something...

[sedale threatt]

duncan lucky he didn't pick an offensive foul

[Bob Lanier]

PAU blocks Duncan!

This Duncan-Barry-Ginobili strong side triangle is about as good as it gets, though.

[Spurs Brazil]

2nd on Bruce

[peskypesky]

refs keeping spurs in this game. pathetic.

by not calling fouls when duncan is hacked?

[ballhog]

Duncan can't buy a call.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan going soft and wants to be bailed. STFU Tim. Take that shit hard and stop going up pussified and you might get a call.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Barry, Udoka and Thomas off the bench.


Can't try and relive the glory days!

[Pistons < Spurs]

Nice play Tony!!!!

[lefty]

TP nice hustle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1


3 on Fisher !

[peskypesky]

Tony finally did something

[Septic]

Way to go fish!

[Bob Lanier]

:lol at the dumbass goaltending that shot. It was about to rim back in.

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on Fisher

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The difference in this game is offensive rebounds by LA (14 second chance points), yet Thomas sits on the pine while Horry and Oberto have combined for two rebounds in 16 minutes.

:pctoss

[boutons_]

Tony crashing the boards, give Fish his 3rd PF

nice hustle

[GT1]

yay more freethrows for the spurs!

here come the refs!

[Mavs<Spurs]

I don't like starting the game by spotting them a 14 point lead (22 to 8)!

[VinnyTestesVerde]

refs keeping spurs in this game. pathetic.

no. your post. that's pathetic.

excuses in the 2nd = :lol

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Shout out to MANU - WHERE ARE YOU???

Time to play!

[koopa]

i'm surprised tony is actually making his free throws

[Spurs Brazil]

Defense Now!!!

[Radiosparks]

[Septic]

Rebou... fuck never mind

[turiaf for president]
