And after many of the wins as well.

Theyre also calling the Spurs classless because Elliott called Odom Mr. Kardashian![]()
I read the thread majority of lakers fans disagreed with the OP.... so yeah
Nothing to enjoy over a loss even without the injury situation but I agree that there will be more of them coming. Good thing for you that the spurs wont lose another regular season game.

Yeah, I'm real hurt over a loss with injuries to the Spurs in January.

Good win for the Spurs but let's not get too excited about it. This team has a long way to go before they are true contenders for another ring. But it was another step in the right direction. As it stands right now I still believe that the Lakers are the team to beat. Gasol will be back and their starting five are the best in the league IMHO. A big weakness is their bench which at one point in the game had only scored 4 pts in 24 mins.- That's really weak and will cause them problems. How severe depends on how well the starters are playing. If the Lakers had our bench then you might as well mail it in. They would be almost unbeatable.
Anyway the refs blew calls on both sides and this usually is the case in all NBA games. Another point is that most home teams get more calls in their favor than road teams. When we go to LA the same will most likely happen - Lakers get more calls than the Spurs. I believe that Pop has always said that you don't blame the refs. You play the game and find a way to win. Don't leave the game in the refs hands but control it yourself.
Now on to OKC and another horrible b2b. Four games in five nights in four different cities!!! Damn this league's pursuit of $$$ is killing the players. And ultimately the quality of play. Imagine what will happen if Stern gets his wish and puts teams in London, Paris, Moscow and/or Tokyo?
But that's another thread.
If you let the zebras makes the calls in order to determine the outcome more than likely you will lose.
Lakers fans can't deny that a big part of the loss was due to their weak bench play. Our bench destroys any other on a nightly basis.
The Spurs (Pop and RC and Holt) learned a lesson the last two seasons about having all yours eggs in one basket. Last night demonstrated it's brilliance and their foresight. We busted the lux cap, have a very deep bench of better than average bargains, vets, competence and the planned ability working for a end result in April.
It's not cheap to do this but it's going to pay dividends in the future, Tony now has plantar yet Hill and crew is there to share the burden and provide the crutches. Pop is watching minutes like a mother hen.
He's trying to get seven new guys integrated and working like interchangeable parts on a assembly line and because of this we put a few lemons out as products which is to be expected. Injuries have caught up with many teams yet the Spurs appear so far to weather them pretty well because of our depth they put into place while the others cannot or did not.
I suspect this season to be a "Last one standing wins the battle" kind of season. I think it will be our salvation and come the second half which the Spurs have always been to shine and advance. How they play and integrate defense is the key for them. Defense wins championships. That's our Achilles heel but it's slowly improving and getting better.
The Lakers have no real bench depth, mostly scrubs, hanging on to the rep and their headline beliefs that they are an en led "defending champ" team and we're barely at the half way point in the season. They can't afford to R and R Kobe, Gasol, etc for weeks. Fisher is a liability. Their problems I suspect will only compound until they implode which is their natural nature. Last night was the first indication of that, Dallas is going to mop the floor with them for payback tonight and then the best record Lakers will soon go on long road trip of games and will undergo a reality check.
Just my .02 It's why the Lakers suck.
actually for me it did, because when kobe's losing and is scared of being beat, he pusses out just like lebron james does when he knows he cant hang with the team, im not saying kobe's 100 percent but i dont see him walking out of lets say a utah or bucks game! regardless we were beating the piss out of kobe before he left, and you guys had been beating the piss out of other teams w/out gasol, so let me just say "ouch" and call it back spasms, yeah that's what ill do to get out of this one!!! eat my kobe reflects the character of 90% of l.a's fan base PUSSYS!!!!!
That limp Kobe walked away with last night was eerily reminiscent of the fake Ray Allen sprained ankle when he was facing Bruce Bowen in the playoffs.
Whatever makes you sleep well at night.![]()
Uhh we have 2 main players injured also...
That's what I say whenever I wonder why you guys are so concerned about what goes on in a Spurs forum.
I'm not concerned at all, I just thought since it is a rainy and slow day in cali to read how spurs fans claim greatness over a regular season win. I find that amusing.![]()
Agree. But I'm talking about even when its obvious there team was not the better team on the floor that night they try to justify having there asses handed to em. For the most part us spurs fans get pissed but we don't pull the wool over our eyes.
Just as I find amusing rain in southern California as your excuse for one of over three thousand posts on a Spurs message board.![]()
See Spurfan posts about the 2006 Western Semis.
Don't count yourself out of the loop, everything a Laker fan rationalizes on a Spurs forum after a beat down is amusing.
Those came when you were relevant. Haven't posted here much in awhile.
You do?The best player in the league, The second best player on the team and a couple of Role players trumps 2 role players any day.

Yet here you are after a beatdown looking for the how's and why's of a Laker team on the verge of its fifth road loss, a Dallas beat down forthcoming and road trips from in the immediate future annoucing and parading my injured players as excuses in advance. So Lakerish.
I'd look elsewhere as well on other team forums for 'relevance'.![]()
Beatdown? I repeat, whatever makes you sleep well at night.
Who is claiming greatness? We are not the Mavs, we do not care about being the RS champs! We will claim greatness if we are the last team standing.![]()
