The Spurs had a ton of open shots, especially from beyond the arc, they just couldnt get em to drop in. no team is going to win if they live by the jumper and those jumpers dont fall.
You didn't sound so confident yesterday. Typical, fairweather Laker fan.

Half right. We're not at Orlando's level right now. But the Lakers are darn impressive.
And the Spurs ARE capable of beating the Lakers -- once in a while. Maybe 1 out of 5. But not 4 out of 7.
i guess the beat down you got today wasnt enough to impress you?
or how about the 4-1 series win during last year's playoffs?
lol the lakers are not better than the celtics or cavs.
The Spurs cannot improve over the course of the season to be on the Lakers level internally, I hope people realize that. Roster acquisitions would have to be made.
Lakers seem head and shoulder above west as is though. Any series they enter they can say "we have the best player", "we have the best frontline", "we have the best offense", and perhaps even "we have the best defense" along with bench.
They're 5.5 games ahead and we're barely halfway through the season. They'll probably be #1 by 7-10 games.
aj thinks spurs have a chance
if manu and the rest of the spurs are healthy
but you know more then anyone
Last year was last year.. its over and both teams are different. The season series is 1-1 this year with one more to go. Yeah the lakers won big today but its still only one win.
Spurs need another Big.. a backup pass-first PG....
Right now the Spurs dont really have any trade pieces besides TD, Manu, or TP... no other team wants any of the Spur's roster.
The only thing Spurs have to trade with is.. the rights to that guy from Argentina .. Tiago Splitter
Every time I see the Lakers play...I swear I curse the Memphis Grizzlies.
Right now the Lakers are obviously better. But the Spurs aren't built to be at their best at this part of the season.
That said, I don't think a time will come when the Lakers aren't the favorites in the West. The Spurs will have to improve greatly and then need to play very good basketball to beat the Lakers in a seven game series. Especially considering the fact that the Lakers will have the home court advantage.
SA has a chance. Every team has a chance. But probability of SA beating LA with both teams healthy? 25% 40 at most maybe? No way its a coin toss.
lol, scared of trolls attacking you.
BTW no way can we get past this Lakers team. They're too big and too athletic for this team.
Lakers Big men >>>>>>>>>> Spurs big men.
boston also wants another big
all le contenders have weakeness and want to improve
agree both teams are different this year! Today both teams were at Full strength even though Manu is still hurting.. and Kobe playing with 3 fingers on his shooting hand
Scenarios where the Spurs get to the Finals:
-Bynum and or Gasol gets hurt
-Spurs acquire a solid big
-Lakers get knocked out of playoffs early
pick spurs fans.
that might be true...what was the outcomes of the games the Lakers played against Boston and Cleveland?
Difference between last year and this year besides health is LA is over the Spurs reputation. There isn't a mental edge that I believe the Spurs had last year and would have exploited if fully healthy.
Spurs shooting 21% from 3 and the refs sending LA to the line 32 times is never going to end well. I thought we executed our gameplan decently in the first half, but some of those whistles have got to be embarrassing for the NBA.
We definitely need a better big, better execution on D and for Manu to step up his overall level of play to match up with any of the contenders.
I agree...the spurs should get more freethrows...maybe they shouldnt settle for jumpshots and actually drive in or pass it to TD.
Scenario 1 has some hope. Is Tonya Harding available? What about Plaxico?
2 won't happen. We don't have any bargaining chips. Who would want that motley bunch we put on the floor today?
3 won't happen unless 1 happens (a ton of injuries).
we obviously aren't going to beat them with how we're currently playing, but most of your are ing idiots(you should know who you are)..
is somebody going to acknowledge the post from the guy with the Bachelor's and the hot girlfriend? he said that Farmar and Fisher are better than Parker and Ginobili..somebody ban this clown..he won't care though, since he'll be with his sexy girlfriend and chilling in his mansion, right?..
I don't understand these comments of "we aren't even on Orlando's level"..we aren't right now, but LA is barely better than the Magic..the Lakers are great, but they definitely aren't as good as Boston(there's no argument IMO), and they aren't better than a healthy Cleveland team..I think that's pretty obvious..
we need to get better defensively, we need to get healthy(Ginobili), and we need another player(hopefully Ian) if we want to beat them in a 7-game series..
regardless, I would be surprised if the Lakers win the le this year..if the Spurs don't win it, I'll be happy with anybody other than LA..I can't imagine how bad it would be for the NBA to have a rapist holding the Finals MVP trophy, it would prove the theory that the NBA is a "thug league"..
Yeah you all beat boston last game but didn't the lakers lose the first one? And wasn't cleveland missing a couple of big players last game?
Its obvious because....?
yes, you won a game vs. Boston, that's nice..but the Lakers beat Cleveland without their 2nd best player and only post presence, which clearly had a significant impact in the game..not to mention their starting SG..
