Let's show these clowns Tuesday wasn't the exception; it was the rule.
I think the spurs win this one in a blowout
Go Spurs.
Go Spurs Go!!!!!
FTL.
'Spurs Win!' girl posted? Spurs will win this.
Hope the Spurs come out with the same energy and aggressiveness they did in LA.
Would feel a lot better about the game if Pop were to start Splitter again but I have doubts about that. I fear we'll see Blair again.
FTL though. Go Spurs!!
I'm putting my bets on Duncan/Diaw as the starting lineup.Quote:

Likewise. I'm hoping the offense can be extra sharp tonight because I don't think Diaw is quite long enough to stop Gasol.Quote:

I though diaw did a really good job on gasol he didnt let him post him up very much or give him much room to do so, dude really knows how to use his weight.Quote:

How confident are you the Spurs will pull out the win?Quote:

I definitely agree that the extra weight has helped Diaw in post-up situations. I thought he (along with TD and the wings) did some good work on Bynum as well at a few points last game. :lolQuote:

That said, Diaw definitely> Blair on Gasol but I still think that the value of starting him is going to be more on the offensive side of the ball. Don't know if that makes sense...
CHI has DAL and @IND. IND is 9-1 is Last10.
OKC has @LAL and DEN
Spurs have a good a chance as anybody to take overall best record.
Would love that as well. So long as Blair isn't starting I like the Spurs chances.Quote:

Any word on Ginobili's status? I'm sure Duncan and Parker will play for sure.
Im in love with the Spurs win girl. Like cereal.
Random question..
Is that Spur win girl still a cheerleader for them? I'd marry her. :D
Can't wait for this game. I hate late starts.
Who is the lady in your sig?Quote:

God I hope we don't see more Lakers bandwagoners in the building... that's straight up embarrassing.

On tonight's roster sheet, DeJuan Blair is printed to start. But we won't know for sure until Pop indicates during his pre-game interview

Tiago Splitter will start in place of Blair as the #Spurs face the #Lakers tonight.
Paul Garcia PS @24writer
Coach Pop says nothing has changed as far #Spurs preparation for #Lakers except one thing, "we'll have a tougher time guarding them" #Bean
"He's a competitive young man," said Pop of Kawhi Leonard, "seeing Kobe is good for him." #Spurs #Lakers
Go Spurs Go! :flag:

FTL. Lets run 'em out of the building.
Guess it was foul trouble why Splitter didn't start that second half :smokin
for some reason I never saw this before, lol
Thanks for the updates. :tu
Happy to hear Splitter will start. It will be interesting to see how Leonard does on Kobe.
To be honest, I thought the foul trouble might've been part of it but I also thought that he might've also just been playing Blair's shift.Quote:

I wouldn't mind starting diaw or splitter based on who we are facing based on matchups while keeping blair stuck on the benchQuote:

Hell yeah, Las Palapas is awesome. Bean and Cheese tacos ftw.
I was sure of that.Quote:

That'd be greatQuote:

I will get the ESPN feed, fuck.
Don't see why he would guard Kobe when we don't have anyone who can guard Metta in the first place including Kahwi. If Kahwi was guarding Kobe I would imagine that Sjax would start at the 3.Quote:

Jon Barry: I have tremendous respect for Tony Parker.
Uhh???
lmao yeah I highly doubt that. :lol:lolQuote:

What the fuck is "flying beneath the radar"? What is the radar? Isn't the media the radar? Why does the media act surprised that they haven't spent much energy reporting on SA, and then act like it's this separate entity that no one understands? You ARE the radar, ya dumb fucks.
But then "they like it like that", as if the media does what teams like. Why not insert a tad of honesty: "because we make no money reporting about them".
For supposedly respecting the Spurs, Jon Barry sure does hate on them a lot.
At least Jeff VG is there.
oh man you know its a big game:
the guy who always sits behind the announcers popped his collar tonight!!
So many LA fans there
That didn't take long.
I'd say let Leonard get 2 early fouls on Kobe than switch
Yes TD!
Nice D
Ugh bandwagon crowd again.
Great move Danny
Green still not scared of Lakers
Kobe with early airball, I like it.
TP moving fast and TD getting it goin
Td j!
Tony with the J
Spurs looking solid early. Wide open shots.
Td!!!!!!!!!!!
Timmy on fire
TD looking good. :tu
TD again!
Defense looks good
all day TD
TP off nice D by Timmy and Splitter rebound, outlet!!!
Duncan tapping det Bynum's ass
Tim and Tony look great.
Fuck yes, great start. Parker and Duncan on fire.
That's a rebound ONLY Splitter would have gotten after Duncan contests the shot.
the brilliance of Pop saving the TD TS connection just for the Lakers, so no one has a time to study and prepare for it.
Great start. Defense looks much better with 2 bigs.
Look how fucking nice it is having 2 dam near 7 footers in there!!! Excuse my french but dam those guys are solid defensively.
