its that ING schedule.
its that ING schedule.
and the celtics are fully heathly..
We wouldn't beat the Celtics anyways
One more win in L.A. should seal it....wonder what Phil's excuse will be for this embarrassment.
if our team was 100% its tough to say.
Man, the Celtics are having a "good, old fashioned time."
Total meltdown on Lakersground.net. Laker fans have a million comments complaining about the refs.
Celtics defense is amazing.
Spurs made the Lakers bench of Sasha Vuijic, Farmar, and even Luke Walton look like amazing players. Celtics are making them look the way they really are; Inexperienced, streaky shooters, who bring energy but not much else.
No... even at 100% our offense wouldn't be good enough to beat the Celtics Defense
Funny, it's always about the refs with those s. On to the Galaxy, I guess.
Breen hoping for a Lakers comeback.
Because the Spurs got old, Manu was hurt, they played two tough tough series prior to meeting the Lakers, and the Lakers played better D.
And yeah, we wouldn't have beaten the Celtics anyway, even with an easier schedule and no injuries.
Because the Celtics play better D too, best in the league this season.
We lost to THESE Lakers ??????
Man, 1 injury and we are not the same team
I was thinking the same thing. But I have to agree, we may not have made it past Boston. Manu's injuries would have caught up to us by then for sure. With a healthy Manu, we would have won it all.
Have the Fakers been EXPOSED or what ? When we were losing to them, I wrote that thread that said "The Lakers are Awful" and got thrashed for it. I meant what I said. Just because the Spurs were busy blowing leads and turning the ball over and Manu was hobbling, it didn't take away from the fact that the Lakers remain a one-man team. It's Kobe, Odom and Gasol and a washed up Fisher who can't stay in front of anyone anymore. The bench is decent but that's it.
, I knew the playoffs were going to be a tough stretch when the Suns gave us trouble. They suck out loud too. They are worse than the Lakers. As you can tell, I was thrilled that we beat the Hornets.
That was a tougher team than the Lakers. Results be damned.
Healthy, I like the Spurs against the Celtics. It'd be a low scoring series but that'd favor the Spurs. The Celtics only clutch player is Pierce ... and he's not amazingly clutch. I'd take Ginobili or Duncan in the clutch over Pierce. , Parker has developed into a clutch player too.
Spurs vs. Celtics would be like 74-71 type games but I'd give the Spurs a slight edge. It'd be a lot like Spurs vs. Pistons 2005 ... except the Celtics don't have the same clutch players that the Pistons had.
Interesting.
I would rather lose in the WCF than losing in the Finals.
Celtics defense is for real. I didn't think the Celtics could win against LA, but looking at them, I don't see how the Celtics DON'T win it now. Lakers bench which was a big edge for them against the Spurs, Jazz, and Nuggets is not a huge edge against the Celtics. Their bench is coming up huge, not only that but the Celtics have a more experienced bench. Vuijic, Farmar, Walton, Radmonvic (not really a bench player), are not overly impressive. Spurs just had a ty bench this season.
Do they ban Spurs trolls over there? I feel like a little revenge.
I think that is true.
even years =eastern champs
odd years spurs champs
Yeah, I think so too. We are 4-0 in Finals appearances. The Fakers will have lost to the Pistons and Celtics (most likely). Losing sucks..period but being in the Finals and losing ? That's gotta really suck. Of course, as Spurs fans, how would we know what that feels like ?
this almost sums it up. although the celtics played two tough series too.
but more than anything, it was the spurs pathetic, atrocious offense that was responsible for the loss to the lakers. no athletic big men for the spurs = the guards have to make jumpshots.
We have a few answers here. One that stands out at this very moment is scoring droughts. Each time the Lakers started cutting into the Celtics' lead, Boston replied with a run of their own. They can put the ball in the basket when needed, and the Spurs couldn't. That's just one reason, of course. Defense is another.
The way the Spurs were playing, they weren't going to win this year. But at their best, I'd pick them against any team.
im watching the game, i dont see that many bad calls. i think if anything the refs are favoring the celtics based off of normal home court favoring standards, but nothing more.
The Lakers really don't have that great a squad. They were playing above their heads against depleted teams.
Plus, Phil Jackson seems to bomb in Finals now. We'll see if that lasts. 2004 his team got destroyed. So far he's getting killed again.
