Game Blog: Lakers @ Spurs - April 11- 7:30 PM CT

Why dont they put Boris on Bynum?

I've been saying this. Diaw weighs around 275 and he is probably the biggest guy we got.

[100%duncan]

you Tony Parker

[spurspokesman]

White flag coming?

next 3 mins will decide it

[Uriel]

This is starting to look that game last year that started the downward spiral.

I wouldn't say that that game started the downward spiral. If I'm not mistaken, the Spurs went into Dallas the next night and beat the Mavericks by double digits.

[Paranoid Pop]

Put Sean and Bill on suicide watch lol.

[Man In Black]

Dude, we might not got to the second round if Pop keeps this Blair and Bonner thing against a good first round opponent

See...I recognize that today AIN'T the playoffs. Experimentation ain't a big deal in the regular season.

Add the Bean factor and this ball movement the LAL is showing will go away.
It just is...Am I happy they're losing? No...but I ain't pissed about it because today ain't the playoffs.

Again, TP is playing like and while the LAL bigs are doing their thing, even after a 10-2 LAL run, I still feel that my team has a chance at this if TP gets his shot back.

[Robz4000]

Spurs are coasting brah, don't worry. Lakers playing way over their heads right now....

No, they aren't. Usually I can excuse Pop's questionable lineups, but this is pathetic.

[NRHector]

this game is over they played like

[Yuixafun]

My friends at the game 9th row back and he saying Tiago is getting manhandled out there.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tim is trying make things happen. Tony is ing afraid to play

[noles1983]

bench the suck ass starters for the rest of the game as a lesson

[EVAY]

What a terrible time for Tony to completely lose his jumper.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

About ing time TP

[bklynspursfan]

PG with our first offensive rebound

[DJB]

Sometimes Blair Dribbles off his foot..

Non Issue

It's But kicking

[IronMaxipad]

This really shouldn't surprise anyone. With the playoffs getting closer and closer, this was to be expected. Bynum is simply too great, and too dominant for anyone on the Spurs to stop him.

GG.

[TheSkeptic]

I don't get it. Tony's struggling. Why not bring in Tiago and run a couple pick and rolls?

[100%duncan]

Wtf?

[Bill_Brasky]

Tony really disappointing so far.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Hmmm, Pop still experimenting. I guess he's more concerned about working out how to attack the Fakers than winning this game.

[bklynspursfan]

Why not pass to Kawhi there? 2 on 1 fast break is simple

[Ice009]

Truthfully...NO. Living out here in So Cal, I hear LAL this and that and how they have a big front line. That Front line didn't do against Phoenix whose lineup wasn't one of Gortat and another physical big. It's either Gortat and Frye(let's call him a 7 foot small forward) or Gortat and Lopez in limited minutes. The Suns blew the LAL off the court.
The Spurs issue is that they've let the LAL dictate pace and TP's way off on his shot. He makes half his shots and this game is the Spurs going in. Plus really Matt Barnes...He ain't a league leader in 3's made or 3FG%. That ain't going to continue happening.

Again, while I agree that Pop should employ Duncan Splitter, I just think that Pop needs to stay the course, to show his team that what they do best is make other teams adjust to them. Just because the LAL has won a half of Basketball won't mean if the Spurs put them away without having to bring in the 2 tower theory.
Now, if the Spurs lose to the 2 towers tonight, we will see what happens the next time they meet. Hey...a Boris Diaw sighting.

Kobe's not even playing and we're getting our packed.

Pop is such a dumb of a coach. Everyone who knows basketball, TRUE basketball knew we'd get ed up by their height.

And why does Pop keep helping other coaches like Mike Brown? He gets his packed by Avery and now Mike Brown. Pop should quit coaching and be some kind of consultant for his former assistants if that it what he likes to do.

[007nites]

I have a feeling that this Green and Leonard lineup will bring in some defensive intensity

[Man In Black]

hmmm, pop still experimenting. I guess he's more concerned about working out how to attack the fakers than winning this game.

yup!
