    We'll be in LA in a couple of weeks. That game will tell us if this loss was an outlier.
    That game won't mean anything unless we choke the rest of the way. Rest time.

    It's not hard to see how the Lakers could impose their will on us in a 7 game series. As others have mentioned, we're kinda stuck against them. They can take away what we do best, inside & out.

    What conclusions can be drawn from the Spurs previous 2 wins? That we'll need a monster game from Blair and a tip-in from our oldest player? It's gonna take more than "better energy" to get past them.
    Might as well stop watching then. The trade deadline has passed, and they aren't going to make any changes. Better pray for an injury to Duncan so you have an excuse for failure.

    By the way, if the first quarter hadn't happened, the Spurs probably would have lost the Miami game. That's why it's a four quarter game. I hope the Spurs don't decide to be that unprepared for any playoff games.

    I am not worried, the lakers were butthurt by all of our ass whippings. so they had to prove they could play well against us. one quarter was all they could give us......do that in series and maybe that would impress me, but for one quarter with TD only scoring 2 pts.........the fakers are dreaming.

    In the 1st quarter of this game both teams were taking jumpshots almost exclusively. They made practically every one and we missed practically every one. We also out rebounded them on the offensive boards as the game went on. Bynum out played Tim this afternoon and we couldn't buy a bucket. Ass whoppings build character. We are deeper than the Lakers and won't play this poorly again. Go Spurs!

    What are you talking about Obstructed? Why would they have lost the game against Miami if it wasn't for the first quarter? So you're saying they needed a 24 point lead just to beat Miami. Do you think the Spurs are that bad?

    Our bench is the 2nd best in NBA I guess.

    Just like they say: it happens.


    Spurs won't come out this flat again. This loss is good in a way because it gives them an idea of what happens when the other team is lights out, and you're simultaneously playing like .


    It won't happen again.

    As I already stated, it's a four quarter game. "If the first quarter didn't happen" scenarios are all pretty unrealistic, but if you're going to play that game, they cut both ways. The Spurs shot pretty well in the second quarter against Miami and still got pasted, so maybe the outcome of the game is completely different. We'll never know because showing up for the first quarter is kind of important.

    Alright so you think the team is not starting as good as it could and needs to make sure to start better every game then? Are you saying that our starts aren't that great and we need to improve that?

    Have you been drinking? It's really not that complicated. The Spurs didn't show up for the Lakers game and they got steamrolled. If you want to boil the Lakers game down to a mantra for them to repeat going forward, then I guess "Don't not show up" would work. Otherwise "It's a four quarter game" is probably good for the season in general.
