Spurs vs. Lakers Game 4 - Game Blog

[Whisky Dog]

Losing on the boards and on hustle plays is not a good sign. Either the Spurs were conserving energy for a second half burst, or they're so low on energy already that they can't get the hustle up.

[ballhog]

I wouldn't say lucky shots, because that could be said for the spurs as well.

I think it's just the Lakers working harder for the rebounds and running for loose balls.

It's the 17/17 FT's for the Spurs that are keeping them in the game.

Being aggressive doesn't mean you're not going to committ fouls dumbshit.

[Spurs3000]

Why does everybody keep claiming that Walton "outhustled Manu Ginobili for a rebound" when it was clearly Finley's ancient ass??

[DazedAndConfused]

This series is over, no matter if the Lakers win or lose this game.

They can bring this kind of energy every night, they are young and in great shape. The Spurs can't, and as this series goes on it will get worse. Right now Barry, Manu, and Finley are huge defensive liabilities.

[Septic]

Will the laker fans just stop bitching, go make another ref thread with the 14 others you have.

[lefty]

it just makes me want to hit Pop in the head with a baseball bat on steroids

Fixed

Agreed....and this is comnig from an objective Spurs fan. Lakers taking jumpers and getting offensive put-backs, Spurs are driving to the bucket and missing their jumpers. There's your game thus far. Glad SA is only down by 6 at half.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well, hope the half time ass chewin, pep talk will get them going
As if goig 3-1 won't do it.

Someone needs to chew Pop's ass as well, Finley is redefining the term scrub.

[Canuck]

-Thank the basketball gods for Brent Barry.

-Thank the basketball gods for these refs.

-Please get a damn rebound.

-Please get a !@#$ing rebound.

-If Manu is going to score or defend, at least rebound. Thanks in advance.

-Duncan has to take it up stronger.

-Horrible first half.

Gotta pull this out.

1.

Believe.


As a Laker fan you have to be worried because Tim has 14 points playing poorly. Also leads the team with 4 rebounds and only has 2 fouls.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

The Spurs are playing a horrible game, they are only in this because of the free throw line. And they only got to the free throw line because the refs decided to call ticky tacks on the Lakers and let everything else slide on the other end.

It's almost not worth getting out to a big lead early against SAS. The refs will always let the Spurs back into the game.

not gonna find much sympathy on ST douche. the excuses are flowing and ya'll are UP 6???

[ballhog]

Manu and TD have got to get going or the season is over.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT SHAQ? How does that have any impact on THIS game you dumbshit motherfucker?

The calls are finally starting to even out, so I'll shutup. But that lead should be at least 15-20, and not 6.

Okay, fuck Shaq. The Lakers wouldn't even be here if they weren't shooting 40 free throws a game against Utah in the semis.

Suck on that, Louis.

[nfg3]

LAL interior D is much better tonight. Those long arms are getting in the way. Having said that we just have got to make those shots and take care of the ball. Too many foolish mistakes tonight. If we don't clean this up in the 3rd Q we could be looking at a 10 point deficit. Or more.

The Laker energy and defense are making them play the way they are playing. Jackson is right, refs got the Spurs back in the in the first. That was clearly a travel by Duncan.

Go play in LA traffic now

[TampaDude]

The Spurs better win this 2nd half by 7 points or more. If they don't, their season is over. Kaputz. No repeat. You gotta' repeat at least once if you want to throw the word "Dynasty" around.

http://www.lakersbrethren.net/files/LetsGoLakers.gif

Oh, STFU about the "gotta repeat" crap...if the Spurs get the repeat, you'll just say, "Oh, but you didn't get a THREEpeat"...whatever, pogue...

[NewJerSpur]

WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT SHAQ? How does that have any impact on THIS game you dumbshit motherfucker?

The calls are finally starting to even out, so I'll shutup. But that lead should be at least 15-20, and not 6.

Again, the Lakers' last 3 rings came in large part due to the league's love affair with Shaq...he fouled entire teams out. You said Spurs fans should never complain about fouls going forward...Laker fans shouldn't be bitching either given their recent history.

[Canuck]

Being aggressive doesn't mean you're not going to committ fouls dumbshit.


Huh? All Im saying is the Spurs seem to be more aggressive on the offensive zone but not in their own zone. If Finley or Horry could make a shot to save their life it could be a different game.

[VinnyTestesVerde]

note to self: post in signature if the lakers wind up losing :eyebrows

[Mavs<Spurs]

Very depressing half!


We must limit those second chance points for the Lakers!


Manu must be productive.

No more Finley or Horry!


Keep Brent out there more, play Thomas Udoka off the bench!

Tim must hit the defensive boards and finish off defensive possessions!


Gotta be aggressive, nothing soft or weak!

Attack the basket!


This next half is our whole season if we don't win it by at least 8.


Even if we win this game, we're still underdogs in the series and deservedly so.

But without this game, our season is for all practical purposes dead.

Let's go Spurs!

[boutons_]

Spurs fans, quit quoting the laker motherfuckers, I've got them all ignored so I don't have to read their trash

[Kobulingam]

Finley should retire at the end of the 3rd quarter.

[ballhog]

Go play in LA traffic now

:rollin

[mystargtr34]

That was one of the most frustrating halfs ive ever watched.

If the lakers can come back from 20 and beat us at home... then we surely should be able to come back from 6.

If not, we dont deserve to win the series, i dont care how we lose.

[ballhog]

Why wait?

[heymanooh1]

Holy shit...total rebounds: Lakers-28, Spurs-14 :wow

[1Parker1]

What to Fix at halftime:

1) Rebounding, Rebounding, Rebounding
2) Manu Ginobili's shots
3) Parker/Duncan playing more aggresive and stop going for that soft layup and looking for the contact crap
4) Finley/Oberto/Udoka ANYONE from the Spurs bench making a shot
5) Pop reminding the Spurs that THEIR SEASON IS ON THE LINE. They seem to have forgotten.

WERD...if the Spurs can't take the lead from only 6 points down, then they deserve to go fishing...3-1 wouldn't be the end yet, but it would be an awfully deep hole...

6. Ship Finley to Siberia

[Mavs<Spurs]

We're not worrying about repeating right now.

We're focused on taking care of the defensive boards, one possession at a time.

We're focused on winning the second half by at least 8 points.


1/2 believe!


Tim, Tony, Manu, Bruce, Brent and Thomas need to step up this second half!


Are you Gloucesterman?

Now is the time to prove it!


Go Spurs!

[Kobulingam]

Why wait?


Because Finley needs another quarter to give Lakers more of an advantage.

[pawe]

damn manu you gotta show up on the 2nd half

[imtehma]

Holy shit...total rebounds: Lakers-28, Spurs-14 :wow

LoL, you would think with all the complaints of how the Spurs are playing from spurs fans, they'd be losing by like 20. You guys are only down by 6.

You guys should be thankful of the refs.

[DazedAndConfused]

First of all Shaq fouled other teams out single-handedly because NOBODY could stop him. He legitimately got fouled on just about every play.

[TampaDude]

Holy shit...total rebounds: Lakers-28, Spurs-14 :wow

Yup...that's the difference in this game...if that shit continues in the 2nd half, it's gonna be a blowout.

[TDfan2007]

Manu playing like ass again. He's been so inconsistent it's scary. Maybe his inconsistency takes the right turn and he starts hitting.

[Deb]

I think it is all about how bad the Spurs want it. We have the team, but do we have the drive?
:lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2:+:lobt2:

Got to love Chuck's pick... go with the YOUNG guys!!!! ;)

[pawe]

Lets go Spurs!!!! No more 3rd q droughts!

[polandprzem]

Spurs got the first possesion so they'd better score of that

[NewJerSpur]

Have to give the Lakers credit for putting forth a very active defensive showing. Their hands are busy and they aren't letting SA get to the rim at will....speaking of will, this is what the game will come down to for SA because right now their intensity is seriously lacking.

[peskypesky]

Does anyone here think Bonner could possibly be less productive and useful than Finley? I mean seriously.

[dbreiden83080]

24 min for the season guys

[Canuck]

Kurt Thomas: 00:57 seconds of playtime

Michael Finley: 06:60 minutes of playtime, -14

Fabricio Oberto: 08:19 minutes of playtime, -14

Robert Horry: 07:32 minutes of playtime

Bottom 3 combined for a nice 2 points.

[1Parker1]

6. Ship Finley to Siberia

:lol That also.

[2centsworth]

damn manu you gotta show up on the 2nd half

he will move into immortal status for me if he can find a way on one ankle.

The drive is there.

It's just being fucked away by Pop, Finley and Oberto

[MadDog73]

If fucking Luke Walton ends up winning this game, I'm gonna puke.

GO SPURS GO!

[Mavs<Spurs]

Not all Laker fans are posting garbage. Some however..

True, Canuck, you've been very fair to us!


Thanks!


If you've read my posts, you know that even if we manage to win this game, I would still consider us underdogs to win the series.

And right now, our chances to win this game aren't exactly great.

This is a great Lakers team. Once you all got Gasol, I figured that this would be the best team in the NBA!

You all are a lot better than Boston!

The way I would rate the last 4 teams:

1. Lakers
2/3 Detroit/Boston
4. Spurs.


That's my take from what I've seen.

I hope that I am wrong since I am a Spurs fan!

[2centsworth]

Does anyone here think Bonner could possibly be less productive and useful than Finley? I mean seriously.

he would be better right now.

[TDfan2007]

LoL, you would think with all the complaints of how the Spurs are playing from spurs fans, they'd be losing by like 20. You guys are only down by 6.

You guys should be thankful of the refs.

Refs have been good to us by actually calling a fair game. They've missed a couple on both sides and are allowing contact in the paint.

If the Spurs rebounded the ball then this would be a near-blowout in our favor. Unfortunately for whatever reason the Lakers seem to want it more.

[NewJerSpur]

First of all Shaq fouled other teams out single-handedly because NOBODY could stop him. He legitimately got fouled on just about every play.

Shaq ravaged through the league and the higher ups let him do it. The series against PHX was the first fairly refereed one he's played in in some time.

[Spurs3000]

Manu playing like ass again.

How come getting double teamed is a legitimate excuse for Duncan but not for Manu?

Not saying Ginobili hasn't played bad, but come on now... the more Finley and Horry spend time on the court, the more LA can focus on Manu.

[peskypesky]

If Spurs lose, it's squarely on Pop's shoulders. He's getting paid millions of dollars to realize which players have something to offer and which ones don't. Yet continues to play Finley and bench Thomas.

[ballhog]

All the media love the Lakers. 'Nuf said.

[Canuck]

True, Canuck, you've been very fair to us!

Spurs > Boston tbh. I find Boston to be overrated, especially on the road with all their "talent". Just my opinion.

[TDfan2007]

Alright guys let's have another solid home 3rd quarter!

:flag::flag::flag::flag:

[mystargtr34]

Manu to start?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manu playing like ass again. He's been so inconsistent it's scary. Maybe his inconsistency takes the right turn and he starts hitting.

Watch him shoot, he has no lift in his shot.

[ducks]

Lets Go

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu starting the 3rd

[peskypesky]

Please tell me Finley and Horry are gone after this season!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan goes weakly at Gasol, no call and no basket. :pctoss

[Mavs<Spurs]

May have to change my name since being better than the Mavs no longer carries much meaning!

In any event, Spurs > Wizards!

Spurs better than all but the other final three teams!

Go Spurs!

Let's see a repeat of our first game in this year's playoffs against the Suns!

[dg7md]

Our rebounding numbers should average out.

[Spurs3000]

Duncan with a weak ass layup attempt after a great Manu pass.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Nice forearm shiver on Tim there, Kobe.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD and one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lefty]

Finley out and we score :lmao

[JohnnySixString]

Aren't we supposed to be surprised the Spurs even got past the Hornets? All the inconsistencies are still there. Hey, if they ain't got it in them or they don't want it as much, what's the point of getting pissed at them? We can't do shit but watch anyway. They either step it up or their season is over. No fucking way they come back being down 1-3. They know that. All we can do is watch how they handle that fact. They want to go on vacation instead of winning another championship, I'm not kicking my TV over it. And...................

............Always look on the bright side of life........

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

3rd quarter is the game.

We have to ratchet up the D, control the boards, and our guards have to get to the rack early and often. TP and Berry need to keep it going, Manu needs to wake up.

[AstroCowboy]

As the great George Strait once said,

"You gotta have an :ace in the hole"


:flag:

[MadDog73]

Good start.

Oberto's in!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, what the hell was that Tim?

[lefty]

Fuuuuuck

[peskypesky]

Duncan sub-par. :(

[Canuck]

Fisher has to get going and stay out of foul trouble.

Kobe HAS to drive to the rim every chance he gets for the Lakers to win.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan's shots look like garbage right now. It's like he's rushing every damn shot.

[peskypesky]

Does Tim realize this is the season right here?

[lefty]

Missing a good shot >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. missing a bad shot

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fisher and Odom with 3 fouls, gotta go at them and put them in more foul trouble.

[peskypesky]

Duncan's shots look like garbage right now. It's like he's rushing every damn shot.

he's just trying to flip them in, like he's freaking Gervin or something

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damnit, dumb pass Manu.

[MadDog73]

spurs trying too hard...

[lefty]

Manu Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

[Bob Lanier]

Thank God for Vlade.

[Spurs Brazil]

DAMN Manu

WAKE up

[peskypesky]

Oberto is in? Why?

[hitmanyr2k]

Ginobili WTF? CMON!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Bowen! Fuck yeah!

[SCSnare]

Bowen for 3!

[koopa]

we fucking suck, why didn't we even come out this half

[Pistons < Spurs]

Bruuuuce!!!

[MadDog73]

whew, Bruuuce!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

"Inconsequential"??? You mean "incomprehensible" Sager you dumb fuck.

C'mon crowd, ON YOUR FEET!!! This is the season right here!!!

+1 I'm not even gonna worry about it anymore...if the Spurs make the Finals, great...if they win it all, even better...if they get eliminated by the Lakers, well, life goes on...it's all up to the Spurs, not me...I have far more important things to worry about right now...

[lefty]

Tks God for Bruce !

Bring Barry !!!

[Spurs3000]

The Spurs HAVE to involve Manu in the game more. Please give him a ball screen or something.

[duncan2k5]

no...we gotta concentrate on finishing...not getting them to foul. dont put game in the ref's hands

[Canuck]

Jeez! The Lakers have to know that Bowen can actually score, not just defend.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Well the Faker fans should be happy, Fisher went vintage Chris Paul and got a foul on Manu.

[Radiosparks]

Manu attack the board!

[Spurs Brazil]

Big shot Bruce

3rd on Manu

[lefty]

BArry in please

[Deb]

What in the hell is going on with Gino? Not the best time to have a really sub par game

[hitmanyr2k]

Kobe's mid-air flops are sickening. Play like a fuckin man and stop flailing you bitch.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Wow, Odom just hacked the shit out of Tim, no call.

WTF, Joey....

[Mavs<Spurs]

Tim leading scorer in the game with eighteen.

[Spurs Brazil]

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

[Pistons < Spurs]

Tony's running all over the place!

Timmy!

[peskypesky]

I know most if the Spurs are sucking tonight, but I must give props to Bruce Bowen. He's playing his heart out.

[L.I.T]

At least with the second effort.

[peskypesky]

Put Barry in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

There you go Manu!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hitmanyr2k]

Fisher and Oberto are getting into it :lol

[Mavs<Spurs]

five point game, Tim with twenty.

[koopa]

i wish we could play defense

[lefty]

Oberto on Odom?

Sure

[Radiosparks]

Manu launch that shit!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damn, we took our sweet time on that possession. Spurs just can't seem to get over the hump.

[Mavs<Spurs]

down three, 61 to 58

[MadDog73]

pull it together Spurs...

[lefty]

Fuck Kobe

aaaaaaaaaargh

[ballhog]

How good could Tony be if he had a 3 pt game?

[koopa]

fucking shit, i hate kobe, he's to damn good, i wish we had a shooting guard anywhere near his level

[Canuck]

"Kobe Bryant has had the beautiful touch all night"

Especially when he missed 5 shots in a row last quarter.

Hahaha, I love it!

[DazedAndConfused]

This game has proven to me that the Lakers are the better team.

Without Ginobli @ 100% the Spurs cannot beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

[Bob Lanier]

Kobe hits and the entire arena goes silent.

:tu

[timmydidit]

im going crazy here

[dbreiden83080]

Just feels like we are never getting the lead

[rolled up $20]

Come on SpursTalk show your support, and make some noise!

[01Snake]

Can Manu score? Jebus!!

[L.I.T]

Damn, Kobe is looking smooth tonight.

[lefty]

Manu needs to reat at least 2 minutes.

Replace him with Brent

[SpurAddict561]

wow if only some other players other than TP or Barry can show up, we'll be in good shape

jesus christ Manu, you look like Ray Allen out there!!

[mystargtr34]

Kobe is too good...

Without Manu... its over.

[Septic]

Can we make a god damn run already shit, we get so close then go back down by 9 again and again and again.

[GT1]

Wow, still Kobe can't get a call, and the Spurs are going to line for everything. Sooooo lucky that we're at home and getting all the calls.

[dbreiden83080]

Without Ginobli @ 100% the Spurs cannot beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

Agreed

[gaKNOW!blee]

fuck manu, just try shooting it.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Damn, we took our sweet time on that possession. Spurs just can't seem to get over the hump.

that's the danger when we spotted them a lead of fourteen.


Huge mistake.


Energy/Effort wasn't there for defensive rebounding.

That's why gave us this deficit and now trying to make it up and get over the hump requires so much energy, execution, no margin for error.

[VaSpursFan]

manu better show up soon

[lefty]

This game has proven to me that the Lakers are the better team.

Without Ginobli @ 100% the Spurs cannot beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This game has proven to me that the Lakers are the better team.

Without Ginobli @ 100% the Spurs cannot beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

I'm guessing if Kobe wasn't 100% the Lakers wouldn't be shit either.

Pathetic logic for a Rockets fan... err Suns fan.... err Hornets fan... err Lakers fan.

[dbreiden83080]

Kobe is too good...

Without Manu... its over.

Manu plays well and what Kobe does means so much less but we can't win when he has zer pts and Tony isn't playing great

[nkdlunch]

this is the most frustrating close game I've seen Spurs play

[timmydidit]

ginobili needs to be in this game

wow if only some other players other than TP or Barry can show up, we'll be in good shape

jesus christ Manu, you look like Ray Allen out there!!

spurs can still do it if the bench steps up

[pawe]

cmon Manu, the season is on the line here!

[boutons_]

Tony hustling and winded,

Spurs can't over the hump with worse RB and horrible shooting, 40%

Lakers have +12 FGA and 50% shooting, clearly the better team tonight.

[Mavs<Spurs]

Manu has more fouls than he has points and rebounds combined!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Everyone's just waiting for Manu to catch fire.

Looks like that will be our fate tonight. If he does we're close enough to win. If not, hello off-season.

[hitmanyr2k]

Wow, still Kobe can't get a call, and the Spurs are going to line for everything. Sooooo lucky that we're at home and getting all the calls.

If Kobe would stop flailing and acting like he's getting shot in mid-air he might get a call. It's the same shit Tim Duncan was doing in the first half instead of going up strong and I called him out on it. Nice to see the refs aren't bailing out either player.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we win this, it's going to be through pure grit and nothing else.

Shitty rebounding, terrible 3-pt shooting, no Manu. In most games we'd be gone.

From here on out it's got to be TP and Barry creating and scoring, and hope someone can step up... ANYONE! No other choice.

[Deb]

This game has proven to me that the Lakers are the better team.

We can break that hump... we have to get within 1... then take the lead... god they just keep answering us.

Well, so far we haven't put together enough of a run to show we deserve to win this game...but neither did L.A. in game 1 and we all know how that ended. Don't give up hope.

[MadDog73]

fuck Manu.

Bring in Barry.

fuck.

You've got to be shitting me Pop, may as well put Finley back in and finish off your team.

i hate oberto, hoe ass only plays vollyball with the ball, splitter better fucking be a good rebounder

[Bob Lanier]

Odom still can't finish.

The Lakers' defense has adjusted to take away Brent Barry. Who are they doubling off of now? Bowen? Parker?

[Spurs Brazil]

3rd on TD

Defense is terrbile again

[boutons_]

Tim's bricking some gawdawful shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

This game has proven to me that the Lakers are the better team.

Without Ginobli @ 100% the Spurs cannot beat the Lakers in a 7 game series.

Yeah, because the game is already finished. :rolleyes

I hope that comment bites you in the arse.

You are winning this game through loose balls and rebounding.

[polandprzem]

season pretty much over

[nkdlunch]

unforunately this point in the game is where Lakers take off.

[Popo>Phil]

sh*t which laker would hit Manu's eye and get him back to rhythm

[Spurs3000]

[DespЏrado]

Spurs just look horrible. Manu looks like freaking weak out there. We can't rebound. Our transition D is piss poor. Spurs just don't look like they have what it takes to get lead. Prove me wrong Spurs.

Barry you are the best bright spot!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pick and roll to TD for the dunk!

Hell yeah!

[MadDog73]

[hitmanyr2k]

[rolled up $20]

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

he's a great shooter, better passer than parker or manu

[Spurs Brazil]

Tp Jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

[JohnnySixString]

Barry's keeping ya'll in this thing. I don't know why pop yanks him around so much.


Because he's really not as smart as everyone makes him out to be.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Joe Forte strikes again :rolleyes

Has Forte even called a single foul on the Lakers today?
