If you play a team too close on their home floor, whether it be the Blazers or the Kings they will always have a chance to have the bounce fall their way one too many times.
On another note, Did you see how impressed everyone was with the victory? Sac fans didn't look like they had seen a team win a playoff game in a long time.
The best thing for the Spurs is to have these mistakes in games like this, in a series with a 2-0 advantage, and against a not so dangerous team. An early wake up won't harm, and I hope that it will serve to avoid this in more critical playoff series that will come ahead.
Not a big deal. The Kings won the game, and props to them, that was good defense on Manu, and they knew exactly what to do with the basketball after they forced the turnover.
Everybody kept saying how the Kings can upset the Spurs, yada yada yada, guess what, the Spurs are up 2-1!
And again, kudos to the Kings for not folding after a blowout, a suspension, and a last second heart breaker.

There is nothing to be upset about, except that we didn't play Spurs basketball for 48 minutes. Spurs will win on Sunday. No doubt.
Me too. This wasn't going to be a sweep.Quote:
Re: I'm over it already
How can Spurs fans call Martin's LAYUP that bounced around and went down lucky after Barry's 3 pointer in game 2?? There was no "lucky" talk on that shot, and the odds of a 3 going in like that are probably 1 in 20...
Bottom line, based on 2 bounces which nobody has control over, the series could be 3-0 Spurs or 2-1 Kings....
don't know if it was already stated, but this is just the basketball Gods evening out Barry's bouncey shot.
Manu will bounce back. it's 1 vs. 8 for a reason.
Leonard... Nobody said Barry's shot wasn't luck we just enjoyed it. As for the quote
"Not a big deal. The Kings won the game, and props to them, that was good defense on Manu, and they knew exactly what to do with the basketball after they forced the turnover."
It looked like Bibby (aka Mini Me) was trying to intentionally foul Manu to put him on the line and there should have been offensive goaltending called for Bibby grabing the net on the layup. Watch the Video on spurs.com and you'll see what Im talking about. Just my opinion but I really don't mind because the Spurs have not shown the kings their best game yet. Yes including Game 1.
I don't know...I read a lot of "clutch" talk after Barry's shot...Quote:

Look on the brightside guys, the Kings need to win 3 out of the next 4 in order to advance and we all know it IS NOT gonna happen!
I still think Spurs in 5 (maybe in 6 but thats pushing it!)

True, the execution and drawing up of the play was great, but the shot going in as it did was just lucky...Quote:

Thats just it I did watch it in slow motion. Oh well who cares it was yesterday anyway, and the fact that the spurs didn't complain only means that.... they don't complain.
It was one of many times Tony and Manu went in, got hacked, and didn't get the call.
It is just how they were calling them.
For that reason, it might have been better to try to post up Timmy, since he had the hot hands anyway.
Wha????Quote:

Maybe you were being sarcastic :lol
Every team complains man...that's just the way the NBA is...
Thats true, I didnt even think about that. Tim probably would have gotten that call but I bet Pop was thinking if someone does get fouled then I want my best freethrow shooter with the ball. I think Manu should have just kept the ball when he drove the lane and jus thrown it up on the rim just to take time off the clock or maybe a foul, who knows. Hey is this the 2-2-1-1-1 format or the 2-3-2 format in round one?

Those are from Yahoo.
Hey Leonard you are a cool Mavs fan bro. You don't dog the Spurs like other Mav Fans do.
Hey NCALI fan are you anywhere near Sac town?
Did you remember the game 2,Quote:

Manu did a lot of mistakes, he is a HUMAN, he can do it. As you, i criticized manu as anyone here maybe. But we have to understand that sometimes things doesnt go as you want.
Thanks...I have a lot of respect for the Spurs (as should all Mavs fans IMO). I like seeing the fan reactions to each game here. It seems like some people live and die with each game. "Manu is the man" one game and "Manu sucks!" after a loss, etc etc.Quote:

He is telling the truth :lol .......But this is part of an aspect that all human beings have.Quote:
