Spurs @ Lakers Game 5 - Game Blog

[Avitus1]

Got 1 Timmy!

[turiaf for president]

lol collins knocks duncan on his stare too

[VaSpursFan]

tim has such a fucked up pigeon toed, too long of a wait, foul shot. he needs to correct that shit in the offseason.

[trueD]

Within 3, WHAT THE FUCK IS 3 POINTS? Nothing. Do it.

[Don Quixote]

I am totally proud of my Spurs, for their effort against this vastly superior team. They should have been swept.

[phxspurfan]

LOL touch foul on Ginobili bc Bryant flopped

[koopa]

i think it's manu that is a cuse

04- he is the one that was closest to fisher with the .4, so he wasn't playing good defense cause fisher broke lose from him

06- retarded foul on dirk at the end

08- single handedly loses us the series by using all his energy trying to win the sixth man award in the regular season

[spurscenter]

Doug Collins Hate Spurs Success

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

LA playing great ball, Spurs hanging in by scratching and clawing. Got to give them props for that.

Too bad Tony went 5-30 tonight.

[AstroCowboy]

If there is a game 6, we gotta start BARRY!!!

[Al13]

what a shot by the MVP

[lefty]

Did you hear that Spurs ????

Lakers in the penalty

Attack the rim !

[Bob Lanier]

Goddamn.

This game is pick-and-roll.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Gasol mauls TD, another no call.

Fucking refs.

[turiaf for president]

damnnn that was on duncans mouth!

go lakers!

[mVp]

We're done... fuck this shit.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They piss me off even more than watching the Spurs lose. We just got to admit when we are outplayed. Don't blame the refs, the game has been pretty fair.

Amen, brother. :toast

So many fans are fairweather - part of the value of sport is behaving with dignity when you lose, getting up again, and fighting for the win next time.

[spurscenter]

Where




Is





The





Foul

[VaSpursFan]

game over...

[Radiosparks]

Timmy pass it or go strong. You are not going to get the call.

[lefty]

If there is a game 6, we gotta start BARRY!!!

Game 6???

[phxspurfan]

Kobe unstoppable, LA by 7

[Critter]

bryant shuts down the spurs

[acidsmoke86]

Kobe with his SHOW, too bad Spurs are the ones getting killed :downspin:

[WildcardManu]

It's not over yet

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop's going to ride 4down right into the off-season with Brent Barry shooting threes like they're layups.

[noles1983]

thats all folks.. thank god.

[UCantHandleTheTruth]

Tim Duncan is choking. FT brick, brick in the post and then PATHETIC help D on Kobe who cruises in for a layup. This game is over, Kobe is just too much.

[DespЏrado]

Good Job Spurs...It was a good season. Get younger and get rid of Finley.

[Deb]

Turn out the lights, the party's over

[turiaf for president]

FACE. game over

[Juanobili]

*sighhhh*

[Septic]

Up by a lot in the begining and spread our legs in the 2nd half. Season over, dump the oldies get some ATHLETES on the squad and just maybe we can get to the finals next year. Enjoy the offseason.

[Al13]

Mvp, Mvp, Mvp

[stxspurs]

ive never seen duncan get blocked so many times in the playoffs

[ballhog]

What the every loving fuck is Duncan doing out there??????

[kcalb abmam]

God has to come down to stop #24, not happening for the spurs

GO LAKERS GO

[Spurs Brazil]

Kobe is fantastic

[nkdlunch]

Spurs playing their hearts out. I am damn proud

[dbreiden83080]

Game over

Good Job Spurs gave it our best shot with what we had

Onto to next season

[trueD]

Pop needs some fresh meat, errrrr.....fresh legs NOW! Your team is tired.

[gilmor]

I am totally proud of my Spurs, for their effort against this vastly superior team. They should have been swept.

Man.. Fisher > Parker..?

FUCK U man..

Go FUCK yourself!!

[Bandwagon Fan]

Looks like I may cash in on my vBookie I had LA +8 :toast

who else was smart enough to recognize this?

[IllegalAmigo]

Fuck YEAH!! KOBE!

[turiaf for president]

http://garyhoeffler.com/images/spursfshing051706.jpg

[Quiet Strength]

Duncan is choking bad and kobe is playing awesome.. sucks

[pooh]

Suddenly....all is right with the world. :)

[Diehard Longoria]

Not looking forward to all the fucking trolls rubbing it in

[Don Quixote]

It's over. Like I predicted.

Kobe wasn't going to let this one get away.

As great as Duncan is, Kobe is worth 2 Duncans.

[Emanuel20]

Fans, I can't believe this is over!

[lefty]

Good Job Spurs...It was a good season. Get younger and get rid of Finley.

And Oberto.

And Eva.

[timmydidit]

Game Over cant wait till draft

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Tim Duncan is choking. FT brick, brick in the post and then PATHETIC help D on Kobe who cruises in for a layup. This game is over, Kobe is just too much.

He's not choking. He's out of gas and Pop is such a stupid fuck he thinks he needs to keep going to Tim, tiring him out even more.

[boutons_]

Spurs are clearly the vastly inferior team.

Their shitty season road record was a good indicator of their playoff road record.

Spurs are still shooting better than Lakers, but Lakers are +14 FGA

[ballhog]

Fucking trolls. I won't miss them.

[koopa]

we need young american players from here on out, no more foreigners

[IllegalAmigo]

Pop needs some fresh meat, errrrr.....fresh legs NOW! Your team is tired.

What are you doing here, Queens Queer?

[Indazone]

Only thing that Pop can do now is make Brent Barry shoot 3's from here on out. He should have been the go to guy all night long. He was on fire!

[noles1983]

fuck you lakers..that is all

[Bob Lanier]

The Lakers are beating the Spurs the same way the Mavericks did in '06 - run the pick-and-roll to death, get Duncan isolated against a guard and Parker or Ginobili on a big.

The Spurs' switching defense is what allows the Lakers to score.

And Gasol is simply a beast on defense. Unexpected, to say the least.

[lefty]

Oh well.

Lakers NBA finalists.

Who will kick their asses in the Finals ?

Boston or Detroit ?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We go away from stupid ass 4down and get a layup :lol Pop you stupid son of a bitch.

[spyder]

at least laker trolls will be gone they are annoying as fuck

[Quiet Strength]

Fuck still cant rebound

[Admidave50]

Fuck you, GAsol is all his way fouling Duncan and no call? BS

[Bob Lanier]

MVPau!

[lefty]

Rebound anyone?

[turiaf for president]

Pau!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Duncan has nothing left, he couldn't even jump for that rebound. Fuck.

[timmydidit]

damn offensive rebounds

[thewatcher]

:worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy::worthy:http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r23/lacesinuse/kobe-dunk.jpg

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

I am totally proud of my Spurs, for their effort against this vastly superior team. They should have been swept.

Absolutely not.

The Spurs have been fatigued all series after that draining Hornets series and no rest. Manu has been a shadow of himself due to injury.

This would've been a great 7-game series but for those factors.

I'm always proud of them though.

[Radiosparks]

Foul the shit out of him!

[Quiet Strength]

Figures

[phxspurfan]

refs finishing the game for the Lakers

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Kobe gets the foul call on the verbal flop.

[VaSpursFan]

how can we give up 20 and 17 point leads and lose??????

[Bandwagon Fan]

Kobe with free throws? Unbelievable!

[koopa]

wow, tim didn't even go for that rebound

next year lets not even make the playoffs, it's pointless if you ain't gonna win it all, just get good draft pick...........oh wait, we wasted it on old cross eyed

[trueD]

What are you doing here, Queens Queer?

Hey, I'm totally legal and root for the winners off the court.

[IllegalAmigo]

[florige]

Dammit its over~~~:bang

[mVp]

Well, that's all, it was a nice season.

Fuck the Lakers.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker finishes it off with his billionth brick of the night.

[Spurs Brazil]

Rebs killed us

[Septic]

how can we give up 20 and 17 point leads and lose??????Start by being the Spurs.:wakeup

[Don Quixote]

Looks like I may cash in on my vBookie I had LA +8 :toast

who else was smart enough to recognize this?

I did.

[spurscenter]

What












The











Fuck





Was





That







Tony





Parker

[01Snake]

We need a 3 and parker shots a jumper

[WildcardManu]

In the end you have to be proud of this "old" squad, there were low expectations and they overachieved this season.

[pooh]

it looks like the lakers let the Spurs jump out to the big lead as if to allow them to expend all their energy, then just slowly reel them in. nice strategy and good job. whooped their ass in FIVE and no FIVE this year....woohooo

[Admidave50]

And Gasol is simply a beast on defense. Unexpected, to say the least.

You gotta be kidding, he's been fouling Duncan all series. He just gets away cuz he's a soft bitch.

[spyder]

Guilty #24

[kcplayboi26]

Figures

hey bud u still believe???? HAHAHAHA BUMS

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Parker: 9-20. :tu Good job taking all those jumpers when your shot wasn't falling.

[Bob Lanier]

Sasha has courage, I'll give him that.

[Radiosparks]

Great game and good luck Laker fans. See ya next year!

[boutons_]

No repeat, EVER, for Tim and Pop

The season predicted the playoffs.

[Bandwagon Fan]

Come on, lakers +8 i want my vbooke buckes :D

[VaSpursFan]

i fucking hate the lakers and their fairweather fans. they need to thank stern for gifting them gasol...that trade was such bullshit

[Deb]

Still love my Spurs, and are proud of them. Just ran out of gas. Now, get the shit out of here,Lakers fans

[Indazone]

fuck!

[koopa]

well what a waste of a season

[lefty]

Too bad the Lakers won't win a title.

i don't see them beating Detroit or Boston

[Quiet Strength]

hey bud u still believe???? HAHAHAHA BUMS

I believe you're a loser lol stupid fuck face :downspin:

[florige]

Well, that's all, it was a nice season.

Fuck the Lakers.



I hope Boston kills these fuckers!!!

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Good luck, CELTICS.

:toast to the SPURS. You gave it all you had, it just wasn't quite enough this year.

[VaSpursFan]

i hope the lakers get blown out in the finals

[ballhog]

Now to hope Lakers get swept in the finals.

[iflyabeech]

Still love my Spurs, and are proud of them. Just ran out of gas. Now, get the shit out of here,Lakers fans

x2 bud

[tlongII]

The Spurs lost this series with their choking dogs routine in Game 1.

[lolz]

i fucking hate the lakers and their fairweather fans. they need to thank stern for gifting them gasol...that trade was such bullshit


Getting a gift (Gasol) or tanking (Duncan). Whatever, pick your poison, faggot.

[Radiosparks]

hey bud u still believe???? HAHAHAHA BUMS

Bums? Spurs own the Suns chump!

[Indazone]

Celtics have to beat Detroit first

[Spurs Brazil]

Thank you San Antonio Spurs for another great season

We're back next year

[Emanuel20]

I better see changes to this team....
Spurs why the hell did you lose?

[koopa]

david stern just blew a load, he's gonna make a shit load of money, lakers vs celtics

[timmydidit]

well you know good times you can't beat the lakers and the league

[Deb]

Go, Celts or Pistons, Beat the Fakers

[florige]

Parker: 9-20. :tu Good job taking all those jumpers when your shot wasn't falling.



He is what screwed us in the first half. Pop didn't mean shoot up illadvised jumpers when he meant you were not being aggressive,,,,,:bang

[lolz]

Go, Celts or Pistons, Beat the Fakers



Now to hope Lakers get swept in the finals.


i hope the lakers get blown out in the finals

Suns fans :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Suck. Thanks for leaving it all on the court tonight, guys :tu

[Bandwagon Fan]

LOL DUncan with a three? Who does he think we are the Suns?

[spurscenter]

now they call a foul on the 3

[phxspurfan]

Spurs take a well-deserved vacation.

[trueD]

Spurs did a great job keeping the Lakers at bay this game. Lakers had a tough time putting Spurs away in their house during an elimination game when Ginobili and Parker were both struggling.

Good job Spurs, your team rocks.

[DespЏrado]

Manu broke my heart this year. It's not as hard to take as the dirk foul, but I am close to suggesting we trade him. I just don't know how the Spurs should use him, is his career going to be limited to 6th man from now on? They need another consistent star, and Manu might be getting to the point where he is going to go down hill fast.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Kobe is such a freakin lucky little bitch.

If he had had his way, the team would've been DISMANTLED before the season. Then he got Gasol in a deal that should've been nixed by the league. Then he got a fatigued Spurs and Manu on one leg. LUCKY FUCKER.

[kcalb abmam]

the look on pop's face is priceless

[SpurAddict561]

oh well

that fuckin can't repeat bug is kicking our ass

I'm beginning to think it's ALL ABOUT MANU more and more

He plays great we win, ie 05 & 07

He makes mistakes, we lose ie 06 & 08

[Don Quixote]

Fans, I can't believe this is over!

Well ... I hate to say I told you so ....

Los jugeros, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, han vencido!

[Bob Lanier]

You gotta be kidding, he's been fouling Duncan all series. He just gets away cuz he's a soft bitch.
Every big man in the league gets away with a ton of contact that could be called for dozens of fouls every game - and Tim Duncan, my favorite player or not, gets away with more than most. It takes those who are NOT soft to play through it.

Gasol has defended Duncan like very few in his career have. In addition, his hep defense on the pick-and-roll has been absolutely superb - credit him with shutting down Parker when it needed doing.

He's played very good defense.

[Lakers_55]

Too bad the Lakers won't win a title.

i don't see them beating Detroit or Boston

I look at it this way, if Boston or Detroit beats LA they would have beaten SA. However, we will never know. Appreciated your wit here lefty, you are a good guy and a great fan of the Spurs.

[mystargtr34]

BTW, howabout Manu blocking Gasol?

I thought he had no lift.

He just sucked this series... Lakers forced him right.. and he burnt himself out playing 30 minutes a night in the regular season. He was a liability to the team this series... you could never say that for Tim or even Tony.

I guess we can put all that 'franchise player' talk and Kobe and Duncan comparisons to rest.

Im disappointed in Manu... really am.

[florige]

:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang
DAmmit why can't we ever repeat!!????!??!?

[acidsmoke86]

At least you Spurs fan won 1 game, you should be proud of that :downspin:

Go LAKERS GO!!!!!! BELIEVE. just 1....................................... minute :downspin:

[timmydidit]

haha nice foul

[Admidave50]

It was impossible to win with an injured Ginobili, his stats are pretty horrible in this series despite of having his Best NBA season.

Great job guys, you fought throughout the end.

I just wish that Pistons can go to Finals and win it all.

[WildcardManu]

I could careless what other people think or say about these Spurs. They played their hearts out, didn't go out like chumps.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

:lmao

Now the commentators suck the Spurs' cocks.

Disingenuous fucker, Collins.

[Don Quixote]

Kobe is such a freakin lucky little bitch.

If he had had his way, the team would've been DISMANTLED before the season. Then he got Gasol in a deal that should've been nixed by the league. Then he got a fatigued Spurs and Manu on one leg. LUCKY JERK.

You're right. There is no justice in this.

But the Lakers ended up far better on the court.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Yeah, fuck it, make them earn this shit.

[Deb]

Well, I definitely think Pop had some role here.

[turiaf for president]

oh sheit ! 8 point win!!

[Red Hawk #21]

It sucks to see you guys go down like this, don't worry you'll make a comeback. And by the way that Bob Lanier dude is a bandwagon fan

[mystargtr34]

Vujacic piece of shit

[spurscenter]

Wow He Shoots A Three


Wow

[Whiteguy]

Good series guys. You have a very good team, it just wasn't your year. I respect the Spurs and their fans.

Good luck next year.

[turiaf for president]

http://garyhoeffler.com/images/spursfshing051706.jpg

[Bob Lanier]

Machine!

Classless, but I love it.

Good game. Both teams played hard. God bless and good night.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Vujacic... I hope he dies in a car wreck tonight.

Spurs need to take a photo of that shit and put it in their locker room for over the summer.

[Critter]

lol sasha

[Emanuel20]

Well ... I hate to say I told you so ....

Los jugeros, de cuyo nombre no quiero acordarme, han vencido!

:bang

[Nocioni]

Sasha for 3!

[Bandwagon Fan]

Hahaha, oh sasha you kill me! Man, I wanted +8 whoever went for 8 exactly is getting some serious odds those were the lowest ones, congrats to you!

[WildcardManu]

Good season San Antonio looking forward to the offseason moves. :toast

[koopa]

how could anyone thank them for a good season??

this season was a waste, like ricky bobby says, if you ain't first, you're last

this was just another wasted year in tim's career all thank to peter holt, waste all his money on booze he can't afford to bring actual talent to put around tim and manu, because of that manu has to kill him self long before the playoffs start just to keep in the playoff picture

it's rebuilding time, if we have the same starting line up i hope we don't make the playoffs cause fab is a bum, can't rebound for shit so he plays vollyball

we need a legit guard to either start or back up manu...............

oh well, that'll never happen, we'll just draft and stash again

and probably won't make it out of the first round next year

[Deb]

Lakers fans this is your sign: EXIT

[Quiet Strength]

Cant win them all. It was nice seeing the spurs beat the suns and hornets though. That first game against the suns was the best game I have ever seen. I'm proud of the spurs and I cant wait till next season.

[21_Blessings]

lmao the Machine is cold blooded

[acidsmoke86]

http://www.garyhoeffler.com/images/spursfshing051706.jpg

SPURS GONE FISHIN' :downspin:

[boutons_]

Spurs can play Championship basketball, but they just couldn't do it for 48 minutes.

[Natural Science]

I wasn't sure before, but that sums it - rooting for Det/Bos winner... Totally classless to shoot at the buzzer.

[WildcardManu]

Good luck in the Finals.

[Nocioni]

lol sasha

shasha game wnningng 333

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

All this hugging makes me want to puke.

Sure, if two guys know each other and have a relationship off the court, all fine and good, but most of it is just for show.

Fuck shallow displays of bullshit.

[turiaf for president]

sasha just pissed on the spurs lol

[Bob Lanier]

I thought he had no lift.
:lmao

:tu

[Emanuel20]

Now that I think about it it's kind of embarrassing…wining only 1 game against a young faker team.

[kcplayboi26]

Suns fans :lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:lol:


lol exactly thats how we ALL felt

[WildcardManu]

that 3 at the buzzer was classless

[Allanon]

Great series Spur fans, some of you guys have some great knowledge and call the game like it is.

Much respect, good luck in retooling, get some young legs. The writing's been on the wall, don't waste the rest of Duncan's career. Enjoy the offseason and too bad about Splitter.

:toast to the Spurs and their good fans.

[trueD]

:lmao

Now the commentators suck the Spurs' cocks.

Disingenuous fucker, Collins.

:lol Think you meant Lakers, right?

Collins disingenuous ... Dayum!

[Deb]

http://www.garyhoeffler.com/images/spursfshing051706.jpg

SPURS GONE FISHIN' :downspin:

Again, Lakers fans this is your stronger sign: Get the Fuck out

[ballhog]

lol exactly thats how we ALL felt

You losers in first round.

[Red Hawk #21]

Fuck Sasha Vujashit

[Mamba24]

The Spurs gave it all they had, but in the end, the Lakers were like Daft Punk....Harder, Better, Faster and Stronger.....we are going to the Finals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Manu20]

I'm still proud of my Spurs.

Good luck to Kobe and the lakers in the finals.:toast

[Radiosparks]

sasha just pissed on the spurs lol

I bet he gets it next year. Count on that!

[Don Quixote]

:bang

No te enojas a mi español ... no es fuerte

[Emanuel20]

Suggestions on what to do tonight?

[Lakers_55]

Triple double for TD. He's unstoppable.

[AstroCowboy]

It's now how your win our lose, it's how you play the game.

The #1 reason I love the SPURS if coz of there class. They show in even in a loss. You know most teams wouldn't do the same.

Glad they didn't make excuses for injuries or no-calls etc.

Thanks for another exciting year, I'll have your back again in 09.

[lolz]

Fuck Sasha Vujashit

A hawks fan? :lmao

[Spurs1234]

nba got what it wanted

[spurchamp]

Congrats Lakers you just achieved another series with an *.

[Deb]

I'm still proud of my Spurs.

Good luck to Kobe and the lakers in the finals.:toast

Piss on the Lakers. Go Celtics/Pistons

[turiaf for president]

I bet he gets it next year. Count on that!

he might be on your team lol.

[spurscenter]

Jerry West< = Gasol

[WildcardManu]

lol exactly thats how we ALL felt

How does it feel every time you played the spurs it was one round below the previous time you played them?

2005 - Defeated by the Spurs WCF
2007 - Defeated by the Spurs 2nd round
2008 - Defeated by the Spurs 1st round

2009 - Suns Forfeit the playoffs?

[rayray2k8]

Good luck in the finals, lakers.

[spyder]

Suggestions on what to do tonight?

get shit faced

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Well done Lakers. You took advantage of a tired Spurs team and played a good series.

I think it would have been different if Manu weren't banged up, and the team wasn't fatigued, but you did what you needed to do to win. You'll have to play better to beat the Pistons/Celts though - can't give up 20pt leads like you did to us.

GO CELTICS! It's time KG and PP got their rings.

[Bandwagon Fan]

My God, even the Utah Jazz put up a tougher fight then the Spurs. Are these really the defending champs? Hornets would have been a better fight methinks spurs didnt even look like they belonged here.

[DEVILS SON IN LAW]

Kobe is such a freakin lucky little bitch.

If he had had his way, the team would've been DISMANTLED before the season. Then he got Gasol in a deal that should've been nixed by the league. Then he got a fatigued Spurs and Manu on one leg. LUCKY FUCKER.

Dude, don't make excuses...u guys won 4 champoinships, you should be proud of your team. you can't win every year. you guys have a top organization, you'll be back:toast

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Machine!

Classless, but I love it.

Good game. Both teams played hard. God bless and good night.

Typical Lakers fan. "Classless play by my team, I love it."

[Mamba24]

I agree Sasha shouldn't have taken that last shot but he's young and excitable....he will learn never to do that again.

[Don Quixote]

Great series Spur fans, some of you guys have some great knowledge and call the game like it is.

Much respect, good luck in retooling, get some young legs. The writing's been on the wall, don't waste the rest of Duncan's career. Enjoy the offseason and too bad about Splitter.

:toast to the Spurs and their good fans.

Dang straight. I'd still love for the Spurs to make a few deals for some of that Laker talent. Not that the Lakers will EVER give up Radmonovich, Odom, or Vujacic for Ginobili or Parker.

But yes, we'll waste the rest of Duncan's career with this motley bunch.

[Bob Lanier]

Wait, Sasha's three made it an 8-point final?

Fuck you Sasha, you dirty classless piece of shit. :lol

[Red Hawk #21]

Im guessing this means the Celtics will win tommorrow

[sedale threatt]

nice of the league to bring out jerry west--great symbol of Laker Class.

[ballhog]

I'm still proud of my Spurs.

Good luck to Kobe and the lakers in the finals.:toast

Fuck that,I hope the Lakers get swept. No homecourt if they play the Celts.

Good job Spurs, you gave it all you got and that's what counts.

[kcplayboi26]

http://garyhoeffler.com/images/spursfshing051706.jpg

[Emanuel20]

Spurs looked confused.....they could not sustain a big lead.

Spurs fan caught bashing other team, too bad they just got destroyed, demoralized raped, by the LAKERS :downspin:

[WildcardManu]

Fuck that,I hope the Lakers get swept. No homecourt if they play the Celts.

I don't think the West has HCA

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Lakers were the better team.

Fucking Bench sucks ass.

[TheMACHINE]

Mitch and Jerry....interesting...LOL

[Bandwagon Fan]

Jerry West, thanks for Gasol by the way :D He really did hand the trophy to the Lakers!

[florige]

Great series Spur fans, some of you guys have some great knowledge and call the game like it is.

Thanks.

[Deb]

We all know the Fakers are going to lose against the Eastern Conf. Champs, whether it is the Pistons or the Celts

[Don Quixote]

Suggestions on what to do tonight?

Cry a little.

And get back to life as normal. I don't watch basquetbol after the Spurs' season ends. And I don't post at ST until at least February. I will return at that time, with my sanity.

[AztecPrincss]

Good Game Guys!! Dont be playa hating on the Lakers they are a great team and kobe bryant deserves our respect...they did wat they suppose to do! went 4-1 then 4-2 and now 4-1 ..Hope lakers win championship not celtics they dont deserve to win after going 7 games with the lowest team on the east..Good games after all ! peace out yall.. im out for good..Cya laterz next season Hopefully spurs dont kill themselves on the bus way bak to S.A. hehe..

[Diehard Longoria]

I agree Sasha shouldn't have taken that last shot but he's young and excitable....he will learn never to do that again.

Will he?

Once an asshole, always an asshole

[Bandwagon Fan]

LOL, Collins - "How does it feel to dethrown the defending champions?"

man, and that big ol grin on Koby's face

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Dang straight. I'd still love for the Spurs to make a few deals for some of that Laker talent. Not that the Lakers will EVER give up Radmonovich, Odom, or Vujacic for Ginobili or Parker.

But yes, we'll waste the rest of Duncan's career with this motley bunch.

Check your head, Don.

Duncan+Parker+Ginobili=3 rings!

All we need to do is put some youth beside them.

You think Radman is a better player than TP or Manu? :lmao

Seriously dude, I hope it's the delirium of losing talking right now.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Allanon - later, all the best. You're a good guy and know your shit. I still hope the Celts win though... ;)

[Deb]

Kobe, such a gansta speech.

[Bob Lanier]

Cry a little.
Join Kobe. He's crying now.

And he deserves it. He's now as good an off-guard as this league has ever seen.

[Don Quixote]

We all know the Fakers are going to lose against the Eastern Conf. Champs, whether it is the Pistons or the Celts

I disagree. The Lakers will embarrass the Celtics with their depth, athleticism, shooting, and the fact that they have a REAL clutch player in Kobe. And the Lakers just ate the Spurs lunch -- how much harder could Detroit be?

Spurs looked confused.....they could not sustain a big lead.

Oh fer crying out loud, work it out - they were dog-tired throughout the series! They were drained from playing 7 against that athletic Hornets team and never recovered as they only ever got a 1-day rest on old legs. It was bloody obvious the whole time.

How's understanding the NBA going for you?

[dav4463]

Spurs finish the season in the top four. I don't think all is lost. A few new faces, some re-tooling, and Spurs are right back in the hunt next year. It's what the Spurs do.

He's better than Manu. If we traded Parker for Vlad, we'd be left without a PG, so I would not advise it. But an average Laker player is, in general, better than any of our stars. I'm on record already for offering any of our players (outside of Duncan) for any of their players at the same position (except Mihn and Mbenga).

[KHRIS]

Too bad they will lose in the finals! Kobe will cry again!

GO LAKERS!! :lobt2: :lobt2:

[Killakobe81]

Im not a bandwagoner been watching the Lakers since 1980 ...
And though there not as talented as those teams i actually enoy the way thi team plays together more than all the 3 peat Lakers EXCEPT the 1st one ... when Shaq was motivated and in shape ...pop the champagne we are going to the FINALS!!!

[DazedAndConfused]

Get off this fatigue excuse.

This is the fucking playoffs. If you can't handle 7 game series then you don't fucking belong in the playoffs and you don't deserve to win.

No, I'm a real Spurs fanatic, and hate the Lakers. Just stating the facts, like I predicted the Lakers winning tonight, the Lakers winning Game 4, and the Lakers winning the series. But I would love to have been proven wrong. But I was right.

Correct! It was obvious!

[Admidave50]

Despite of Manu's great game 3 (30 pts 9/15FG) here are his other stats:

Game 1: 10pts 3/13FG
Game 2: 7pts 2/8FG
Game 4: 7pts 2/8FG
Game 5: 9pts 3/9FG

which is an average of 8,25 pts with 26,3% (10/38) while Manu had his best season (19,6pts 46%FG).

With a healthy Manu it would have been a totally different story. It was a great run, Lakers played good and Kobe was amazing.

Well damn, it wasn't our year (even year), next year is ours!

[carina_gino20]

Congrats to the Lakers. The Spurs couldn't hold on to the lead.

But as badly as they played, I'm still proud of my Spurs. They gave it all out tonight. It just wasn't enough.

[MONTENEGRINO]

Congrats to the next champs.

[Don Quixote]

Well, if what the Spurs have to count on is a healthy Manu, then we won't win too many more titles! Players over 30 don't tend to get over injuries any better as they age. I'd package him now for somebody like Trevor Ariza or Ben Gordon, while he still has some value. Begin the rebuilding process.

I'd like to keep Tony, but let's not pretend he's a great, great PG. He's very good, that's all. But it's obvious that we need bigger, stronger, younger, more athletic, better shooting players. In short, like what the Lakers have.

At least we've seen the last of Finley in a Spurs uniform. And Horry. And maybe Thomas, Stoudamire (what a pickup!) and Barry. Bowen will be gone soon enough. And then we can rebuild the team for another dynasty.

[Mamba24]

I disagree. The Lakers will embarrass the Celtics with their depth, athleticism, shooting, and the fact that they have a REAL clutch player in Kobe. And the Lakers just ate the Spurs lunch -- how much harder could Detroit be? I like you! :downspin:

This will be a fact you will see! Nothing to be sore about! You have not won the big one and you more than likely won't. Great season though you should be proud!

[MONTENEGRINO]

I'm proud of Timmy and Brent. None else.
I'm proud to be fan of team where Tim Duncan played so long. Timmy, thank you.:)

[Borosai]

The Lakers were the better team: they were far more consistent than the Spurs, from top to bottom. They did what they had to do, while the Spurs couldn't.

There are no excuses for their performance. The Spurs just didn't have what it took to win, and didn't even make it very interesting to boot. They rolled over at the worst time, being so close to another finals appearance.

[themvp]

Timmy with a tripple double to end a season! Something at least! :spin

[Spurtacus]

Lakers fans on this forum combined with Sasha's unsportsmanslike play...I will be rooting for them to lose.

Most of you Lakers fans are just as classless as your organization. Go to hell.

Those are the breaks...Spurs have been lucky to have been healthy for those 3 championships with Manu, seeing how risky he is already.

[200 miles]

At least the Spurs went further than any other year after winning a title and for that I commend them.

:toast

Timmy gave his all, but made mistakes. (FT's were huge) Story of the night.

All the Spurs tried to fight, but they just were gassed.


I think I'm going to be officially depressed for the next two days....:depressed

Kinda like in 2006.

[nobodi_home]

It's a game of mistakes. The team that makes the most, loses.

Why didn't they try to get the ball to Barry, who's got the best
3-point numbers on the team?

Duncan putting up 3-pointers? What kind of insanity is that?
Guess it goes hand-in-hand with all his missed free throws.

Mistakes, does it every time.

[themvp]

Cheer up Spurs fans!

Next year in an odd year! :blah
