I'm just saying that we still had a great shot to win by sticking to our original gameplan... if we could have just rebounded the ball, and if Manu would have showed up to play... both of which were consistently there for us this season.
Hindsight is 20/20.

Except for that game plan has resulted in 3 losses.

3 losses not because of the game plan, but because of a lack of execution.

The only chance you have at winning tonight is if your shooters are hot from 3pt land. It's the only reason you beat NOH in NO, everyone was red hot from 3pt land for pretty much the entire game.

If I recall correctly, that was the lineup that had brought the Spurs back to within 2 points last game.

I actually think this is probably what Pop is thinking as well.

You guys have gotta be kidding me. Small ball against the Lakers? They have a much higher FG% and a much higher ppg average. This is literally the last time you'd want to do that against. The only reason SA has stood a chance in this series is because of the slow games. Before you played LA, you won every time you held an opponent to less then 100 points and lost when you didnt with one lone exceptions (game 1 vs. suns with OVERTIME). Small ball is exactly the way LA would have liked to have played it in the first place, the only hope you'd have of winning is if you somehow confused them by switching things up. But I wouldnt count on it with Phil J on the bench, and if it doesnt work you're looking at a blowout the size of or greater then Game 2.

Also, Gasol (and even walton and sasha moreso) would be a real offensive threats this way as he has been in just about every other series and every other game. You'd see Kobe drop much more. Seriously, what are you guys thinking?

I just don't know how the rebounding would go.

They SHOULD rebound, but WILL they is another story.

I hope your being sarcastic?.

Manu gets posted up like hes not there by 6-7 forwareds like Luke Walton.
