David Lee's Comments after the Game

[Killakobe81]

You guys reading way too much on to this. it was a compliment.

Analogy/transaltion: Spurs are like the guy you over look in a pick-up game because they are not the biggest, fastest or flashiest as you shoot for captains or warming up waiting for the rest of your "boys" to show.

Then the game starts and they just beat you with better execution and fundamentals. You lose game after game while the spurs say "next" after game point.

You sit on the side saying "we should of beat them" ...but you didn't.

That has been the spurs ESPECIALLY since Robinson left ...Duncan and Pop deserve a great deal of credit.

Nothing boring about the Spurs anymore. He's bitter and doesn't understand that the Spurs success hinges on executing their game better than you do yours.

I wonder what makes him think the GS Warriors are remotely on the same level as the Spurs.

[Kool Bob Love]

It's terribly boring having 4 les David...

It sure is David...

[howbouthemspurs]

David Lee is a who is completely butt hurt. I guess he would rather have nuts in the face!

[Obstructed_View]

You guys reading way too much on to this. it was a compliment.

Like "Kobe Bryant is the greatest second-fiddle the NBA has seen since Scottie Pippen".

[duhoh]

That was a backhanded compliment at its best.

It's like telling your girl "I love you, ."

This was a much more exciting way of putting it. LOL

[jimo2305]

meh if he gave any sort of complement in that statement.. it was to the lakers

[JustinJDW]

It usually is frustrating playing one of the best teams in the league.

rofl sensitive Spur fans taking every neutral thing said and spinning it as something negative against our precious team.

Can't see compliments for what they are ftl.

This. You guys get butthurt at anything. It was a ing compliment. Calm down.

[Hoops Czar]

Who gives a flying sh!t what anyone else said or thinks, least of all David Lee.

I agree with this.

I think its true, most teams will see our team and say hey they are really beatable. Theres really no intimidating player on our team, just a bunch of fundamentally sound players who take advantage of ANY mistake the opponent makes.

Halfway through the game, the opponent will feel like they are in it, but then next thing they know they look up at the scoreboard and they are down.

They don't know how it happened, they feel like they are playing just as good as the Spurs. But the Spurs will do all the little things and all the little things add up to a win.

[Sean Cagney]

They match Tony's speed in Ellis, they match our shooting in Ellis/Wright/Williams, and we do not overwhelm their size with Blair or Bonner. Technically, they do match up well, they just don't play together and aren't as smart/well coached.

Did you expect him to say "Yeah dude they are gods of basketball we should not even be on the court with them". Obviously that's what we think as fans, but when do you ever hear a player say that?

They have no big man at all for Tim, that there is their huge disadvantage IMO. BTW if they match up so well like I said why do they get killed everytime? They have to shoot 50% just to stay close, they were shooting 58% and still losing by near ten at one point. I don't expect him to say that no, but they don't match up well if you look at the scores.

Look for "1.24: SAS/GSW postgame -- David Lee"

I don't know how to link to it directly.

Lee is obviously not putting the Spurs down. I'm more offended by Dorrell Wright saying "uhh, ya know, they're kinda like perfectionals". Thought Lee was dumb, jeebus.

I wish it would have gone down like this:

"I feel like we match up well with the Warriors. I feel like they’re a beatable team...it’s like an ineffective way to play but it’s so exciting."

Richard Jefferson

[iminol]

Bump

David Lee is in his career 1-13 vs. San Antonio Spurs. And still counting.

[howbouthemspurs]

Lee is not relevant so his are not relevant as well. He needs to change his diapers

[lefty]

Not sure if he's complementing the Spurs, but he seemed very bitter after the loss. Here's what he said:

"They’re a very frustrating team to play,” Lee said. “I don’t go out there feeling like they’re a better team than us. When you play the Lakers you look at their size and say it’s going to be a tough game. I feel like we match up well with the Spurs. I feel like they’re a beatable team, especially in this building. And just the way they execute and the way they take advantage of any little mistake you make, it’s like a boring way to play but it’s so effective. There’s a reason why their record is what it is."

I have no porpblem with Lee's comments

He is frustrated with the loss, but there is no hate or bitterness in his comment

[tdunk21]

its stupid when grown up nba players talk like this

[lefty]

its stupid when grown up nba players talk like this

Like compe ive players?


I prefer that to the conventional, Sternized " they played great; we have a lot of respect for them; they have some of the greatest players of all-time "

[JR3]

There was a David Lee that played for the knicks once I think.

David butthurt Lee

in other words, the Spurs do it thru skill and teamwork and discipline


in other words, the Spurs are ethical....sort of

[Tuddy]

some players just can't grasp the concept of a TEAM sport when they have been playing it their whole lives.

[spurspokesman]

If you cant beat em join em. Come on over David Lee
