what bs?
Why, why does there always have to be one single play to stew over all offseason that dooms us in our le defense years? .4, Manu's foul, and now this BS.
what bs?
Because they are a great team and a tough out, they don;t roll over and die
2001, they lost pretty damn good.
This isn't BS. The Spurs lost this game because they were destroyed on the glass tonight.
And the Spurs got a HUGE amount of calls go their way in the first half. If the Spurs lose this series, it's because of their own play - no because of any fluke.
I think we are losing a series...
That wasn't a le defense, moron.2001, they lost pretty damn good.
Spurs had about 10 chances to get over the hump tonight, and came up short every time.
Grab 6 more rebounds and this series is tied 2-2. Brent Barry was our second leading rebounder with 5? Nobody else had more than 2 defensive rebounds??
Duncan played great tonight, but 10-26 is not going to get it done. Some of his post moves were very weak tonight.
Just play better and win game 5
I blame the 20+ second chance points the Lakers had in the first half.
Who else is with me??
No contest.2001, they lost pretty damn good.
4-0
That was brutal
the spurs deserved to lose tonight they played like in the first quarter, no rebounds and missing shots
Ill go a step further and blame the crucial second chance points in the 4th quarter as well.
Would've been nice had Oberto and Horry rebounded.
Another class poster on this board, understands that the lakers got a lot few calls, and they out hustled the Spurs the whole game......
Props again for this post....
It just shows what fate can hand a team... any team. The Spurs had numerous opportunities to take control of Game 4 in both halves but never could. If the Spurs would've just capitalized on ONE of those opportunities, this discussion of whether Joey Crawford is a ing blind salamander wouldn't even be taking place. Now can the Spurs win three in a row? Mathematically, yes, but probably not likely. But then again, stranger things have happened in the world of sports.
Look at what happened to the New England Patriots.
I couldn't sleep
Last night could've been our chance to give them the .4 business (even though there was way more time), but Brent just didn't get it done.
Brent said the play was originally for Manu and they were trying to get it to Manu in the corner. Which seemed the right play since he had already hit the three and has made gamewinners before. Guess it wasn't meant to be and it went to Barry. I was really hoping Manu or Horry would take the shot, because I had a good feeling they could have willed it in...
Could be worse though...that final play with the fisher foul could have ended our season on that note..Maybe the Spurs will win game 5 and go from there, take a second crack at controlling their fate.
If they learned anything from 2004, they better take advantage of at least keeping the series alive. Unlike that miserable performance after the .4 heartbreaker.
Maybe but I think our offense sucks when we more need points.
Not score Not win.
Finley 0 Oberto 0 Udoka 0 Thomas 0 Horry 2 Ginobili 7. Really it sucks.
The Spurs do "just plain" lose series, but a large amount of the Spurs fanbase is delusional and thinks nothing could beat the Spurs, and that there must be some excuse or reason they lost, other than the obvious--and realistic: they just got outplayed.
Stop looking for an excuse and it will be obvious.
Fouls or any other basketball plays shouldn't be arbitrarily and subjectively waived off by officials or anyone else.
Sure, the Spurs got beat on the glass, but Fisher's play still happened. He put the Lakers in a position to lose the game despite all of what happened before. Why should this play be ignored?
It shouldn't. That's why we have a clock and a scoreboard, supposedly to keep things honest.
The real question is, Why is this crap ALWAYS against the Lakers?
If Spurs had got 15 from Ginobili (or ANYTHING from Finley or Horry), then we aren't having this conversation.
Lakers controlled that entire game. Nothing to about. It only makes you madder and doesn't change the outcome.
Bring on game 6.
sometimes i think this team is too corporate. we need a firecracker, an outwardly emotional person that will rally the troops. during these playoffs, we have lacked that killer instinct since the Suns series. we laid an egg in game 5 of the NOH series and game 1 of this series.
last night we were outplayed. our back is now against the wall so we've got to fight, claw and scratch like our lives depend on it. no slow starts, no lapses. We need 100% focus for 48 minutes. the margin for error is certainly small now but i still believe. hopefully, everyone steps up and plays out of their minds in next game. win 1!!!
Go Spurs Go
If the Lakers controlled the 'whole game' the Spurs wouldn't have been in a position to tie it in the end....true the Lakers did a better job than the Spurs on the boards and that was likely the difference in the game....but this Laker team is not unbeatable, it's just that the Spurs haven't been able to get 48 consistent minutes from any group of players....
