Yeah, being thrown on the floor = bouncing.

Thats what kills me. Is that we didn't have a chance to be fully compe ive against the Lakers. It was basically Tim and Tony and role players.
Sasha is a very marginal defender and a streaky shooter.
Not only does his man get around him at will, he also commits more stupid fouls per minute beyond 40 ft from the basket than any other player in the NBA.
Basically, him and Walton inserted at the start of the 2nd quarter is like just putting the other team into the bonus right away, they both just clutch and grab for no reason when guys aren't even in scoring position to show to Phil that they are "scrappy"
Remove the letter s from the word scrappy and you have an accurate description of both of them
LakerLanny you are a big pile of crap and your opinion means nothing, because you don't have an opinion.
You was ting all over Sasha at that LG board of yours when it was popular to bash Vujacic.
When Sasha became popular with majority of that board, you turned your tune and became one of his butt kissers (especially after that 20 points game). Now when he ed up a game you turned your tune again!
Blyack....I wouldn't touch you with the stick...OK, I would touch you with the baseball bat.
All this talk about the Spurs not being healthy being the reason they lost........newsflash NO TEAM IS FULLY HEALTHY during the playoffs. Be glad Manu was at least able to play, the Lakers had to go forward without Bynum who was projected to make it back during the 1st round of the playoffs.
Spurs without Ginobili = Lakers without Bryant
Lakers got lucky and beat an injured Spurs and now playing an injured Celtics Squad.
a big * to their season
The fact that Manure was injured is a bunch of bull . Manu hasn't done against the lakers all season, so Sasha should be credited for playing him well.
In december's game against the lakers he was 5-17, 1-7 3 pointers. In January he was 3-16, 2-7 3 pointers. The one good game he had in November and he was 6-12, 2-4 3's that only netted 17 points. The Lakers were playing manu well all year and Sasha did have something to do with it. The Lakers just defend him well nicked up or not.
If I could of would of, blah, blah, blah... If Kobe were not injured, If Fisher were not injured, If Bynum were not injured, If Ariza were not injured, The Lakers would have Swept the Spurs. What's funny is that All of these players have or had injuries that requires Surgery. Did Manu have his surgery already?
No, Spurs without Duncan = Lakers without Bryant. Just because they play the same position doesn't mean they have the same impact on their relative teams.
Like I said, any team can sit here and whine about injuries and what could have been. The Lakers lost Magic and Byron Scott in the '89 Finals against the Pistons, happens. It's how your team perseveres in spite of injuries that determines who the NBA champions are each year. This year the Spurs just weren't good enough, the sooner you accept that the easier it will be for you to look forward to next season.
The reason Manu played bad against the Lakers in the begining of the season was because he was injured in the begining of the season. Just like Tim and Tony, Manu was injured for part of the season and he had to play injured because both Tim and Tony were out. Know the context of what you are posting please.
Well if Manu is this prone to getting banged up maybe you should look into trading the guy. His body clearly does not seem to be able to keep up with a full NBA season.
You don't reall understand the Spurs. Pop usually always rests Manu in the begining of the season so he is fresh for the PO's. Look at the 05, 06, 07 playoff runs and he was fresh. This year Pop tried to avoid falling in the seedings so he had to play Manu a lot in some games w/o Tim or Tony to win games.
So far we have won 3 championships with Manu coming on the Spurs, so I think the Spurs will keep him.
So far the Lakers have won 0 championships by trading Shaq and keeping Kobe, so you guys should look into trading Kobe. The "MVP" has flaked and disappeared when it has most counted.
If you're playing, you're not injured! Know what injuries mean, please! No way in if he had a serious injury would he have played in December and January.
This is a pretty fail post.
Of course to those looking for excuses in being defeated 4-1!
So I guess Willis Reed was not injured.
Neither was Chauncey Billups after he messed up his hamstring.
Also Laker fans should stop talking about Bryants and Fishers 'injuries' because they were playing.
Also in 2005 I guess Duncan's Plantar Fasciites wasn't considered an injury either.
You are an idiot. Depending on the severity of the injury one can play, but not perform at optimal strength.
What are you? Stupid, Simple or Slow? Willis didn't play but a couple of minutes the game he was injured. Duncan was hurt and still played, don't remember if they still won or not.
Never used the Fisher and Kobe injuries as an excuse, just using it now to be factious on your claims of Manu being injured as the reason that you lost. Idiot!
Just for the record, Duncan dealt with Plantar Fasciitis in the '05-'06 season.
In the '04-'05 season, when he won it all, he was on 2 bad ankles for most of the season.
You said it yourself if you are playing then you are not injured. Willis Reed still played.
No one is the idiot here except you. Claiming that you are not injured if you are playing is an incredible ignorant and idiotic statment that only a Laker fan could come up with.
Hey dumb , he made an appearance and sat. If Manu was injured he should have sat too. You don't have a great game one game and say everything is fine and when you get shut down say you're injured. That's a bunch of crap, just like your argument!
Thanks, I wasn't sure about that. One question; did Manu have surgery after the playoffs to take care of his injury?
I haven't heard anything about Manu and surgery. It was being reported that he would play for Argentina this summer, so I would think that means he didn't have/need surgery.
