Remember the 2005 Finals series against Detroit? The Spurs lost Game 3 by 17 and Game 4 by 31...then took the series...
This game mattered more to the Lakers than to the Spurs and it showed...Spurs got hammered in the first quarter and never recovered...
I think this was good lesson for the Spurs...helps to keep perspective...don't get too high after the Heat win and don't get too low after this loss...
In the first game against the Lakers, Spurs outscore them in the 2nd half 57-38.
Last Easter, Spurs won in Staples 100-81. Lakers might have dominated today but so can the Spurs in the future.
It's one game.
After the 1st quarter the game was close, If the Spurs would have played better in the
1st the outcome could very well have been different.
I also believe the lack of bench for the Lakers will be their undoing in the long run.
Interesting comment by van Gundy about Novak being the best 3 point shooter in the world.
looks like Novak was playing the SF position. I think he'll do better once he knows the system.
We definitely need length to play the Lakers. blair has trouble with tall teams. I would prefer to see Duncan, Splitter and maybe even Novak to start against the Lakes.
spurs suck on early games
Oh yeah, I those sunday games on TV! I knew it was trouble when I saw the damn schedule. This is one of those games that makes me wish there were not more early games! I hope they have none in the playoffs.
I think all the games in the playoffs are in the evening.
Another positive: I was able to nap through half time and most of the 3rd period, without missing anything I would have liked to have seen.
Sunday games tend not to be, especially in the later rounds when you only have 1-2 games per day.
Still, most playoff games are at night.
Really? I live in DC and vaguely recall Wizard/Celtic games in later afternoon... Might be east coast only though who knows.
They can play their 7, 8 man rotation and they are fine with that
I endorse this thread - said the same things as the first 3 posts in the game thread.
the only reason for the loss was cause lakers were well rested and spurs weren't....thats the reason why the lakers had more energy and the reason the lakers were making there shots...even ron artest lol...spurs just were tired...they missed easy open shots
Have the Spurs ever, EVER won an afternoon game on ABC? Against anyone? I saw the schedule and pretty much knew the game was lost and mentally prepared for it, took a nap, recorded the game on the DVR just in case and will now avoid the media more than usual until the next game.
I agree that we should only look at positives and the most important one is that it is only one game and the Spurs are still number one. It's unfortunate that this loss had to be against the one team we didn't want this to happen against on national TV so the casual viewer continues to think the Spurs suck all the time and have no clue how they came to have the best record in the NBA and agree with ESPN that it's a fluke and they're overrated. But if this loss was against anyone else other than say the Mavs it wouldn't be such a big deal. It's also additionally embarrassing because of the large number of Laker fans in SA who like to rub crap like this in our faces, especially during the games on national TV in the crowd who seem to outnumber the Spurs fans. That's really freaking aggravating. Really. No, really.
So just shake it off. They lost. They're still #1 so don't panic. Have more faith in your team that they will get the job done in the end.

Aside from no injuries, this is by far the best positive. I think this butt kicking will strengthen their resolve.
And remember, the Lakers lost by 22 at home to some weak team, can't remember who...sure it was earlier in the season, but in the regular season you're gonna have a few sucky games to forget. the Spurs weren't assembled this season. They've been doing this a looooooong time, so they'll adjust and be fine.
And they won that game without Tony Parker.
Lakers needed this win and I think we needed this loss. With the playoffs coming up and the potential of home court advantage, we CANNOT slack off and this showed. SPAM all the way baby!
I taped the game and will not bother. Question. Did Bryant try to head butt Manu on the drive where they gave out a double technical? I know he threw an elbow to Manu's back as well.
Sometime kobe needs to get Kermit Washingtoned - another low life Laker who enjoyed taking cheap shots.
If only we'd signed Brewer none of this would have happened.
Neal with it bro
ESAD Troll. Go watch your gay porn.
why so hostile mon frere?
