too many turn overs at the wrong time and crappy defense,

[DesignatedT]

duncan played solid defense, but this game is on him tonight.... he has to step up when manu is out of the game.... either way, just another example of why we need tony back... immediately

[Libri]

Wow, how did Kobe get so open?

Ask Jefferson.

[anonoftheinternets]

Wow, how did Kobe get so open?

hill and RJ miscommunication. I think pop belives its RJ's fault. Hence his absence out there.

[jimo2305]

screw it how about we go for a lottery pick? good draft class comin out this year eh?

[Amarelooms]

Spurs played some good defense, but LA hit a lot of 3's with the shot clock winding down and Kobe hit a lot of crazy shots. They weren't bad shots, but shots that most other players cannot make.

if that makes you feel better....

[ElNono]

LOL Mason on Kobe...

[qiuyizeng]

duncan is of gasol ,lmao!

[Death In June]

How many games is pop gonna play hill for 40 minutes?

[Shastafarian]

Can Hairston really be worse than this Pop? Really?

[carina_gino20]

Sigh...Even Manu can't save this one. It's sad when the Spurs depend on just one player too much.

[AnthonyM]

And he won't get a contract extension and will leave. Cool Story Brah.

You're out of place. This has nothing to do with what Manu will do. According to some people...he deserves better.

Two different things brah. Reading comprehension 101.

Brah.

All in all I am not too upset at this game. This might be the best game I have seen Kobe play this year and Tim played absolutely terrible and the Spurs were still close with 4 minutes left.

[alchemist]

Ron Artest's defense was HUGE against Manu and Hill, his defense on them plus doubling Kobe was the turning point.

[TampaDude]

Can't beat good teams unless Parker, Ginobili, and Duncan are all healthy. It's that simple.

Exactly...I'm surprised it was close for so long...Manu was carrying the team tonight. Even he can't win 1 on 5, though.

[Ginobili2Duncan]

The truring point of this game was when Manu went to the bench with under 7 min to go.

[mingus]

Guys, it was clear the Spurs weren't anywhere close to being contenders - at least with Parker out - when they lost to the Magic. Duncan couldn't (not didn't) bring it then against Dwight, and he can't now, either. he isn't the same player he once was. he used to be automatic 25 15 4blk in big games. he's at best a 3rd fiddle rat this point in his career. the Spurs need Parker back.

[Spursox]

Tim sucked tonight..

[ElNono]

They're a team that can get stops when they need them. We haven't been that kind of team all season long...

[DubMcDub]

hill and RJ miscommunication. I think pop belives its RJ's fault. Hence his absence out there.

I think RJ's absence has much more to do with his general worthlessness the entire season than one particular play. Plus they needed to get Gino back out there since he's the only good basketball player on the Spurs, apparently.

[Allanon]

Ask Jefferson.

Thanks for the info guys, I didn't know RJ was on him.

[nbaman99]

Tim just need to retire, he is done. KObe almost the same age, and he is still the best player, becuase he never gives up on the game. Duncan has no fire.

[024]

i don't understand how hairston doesnt get a shot. mason and bogans aren't doing . popovich should be benching them the rest of the season.

[Killakobe81]

Wow I trreally thought we might lose ... i know we could and should beat the spurs but i did not expect it ...
i blame this on pop and Im one of his BIGGEST supporters ...

by doubling Kobe the scrubs got off ... and now kobe is killing them late anyways ...

[dbestpro]

There are more players that Spur fans do not like on the Spurs than I can ever remember.

Bogans, RMJ, Bonner, RJ are truly hated for their choke level play by close to half of the fan base. Dice is not far from joining the group.
