Bynum wanted to shoot a 3 at the end
Spurs made Bynum look like Moses Malone tonight.
30 ing rebounds?
Bynum wanted to shoot a 3 at the end
Bynum has 30 rebounds?
The entire spurs team has 33?
Wow
ty loss.
Pop should have just played the Big 3 in Utah if they wanted to come in with this effort tonight.
Lakers came ready to play, the Spurs pissed in their pants
We could live with Bynum 7-20 FG
But we have to play Splitter/Duncan . This is crazy.
If you're referring to Green, I call bull .
This kid plays with heart on both ends. And anyone still giving max effort in a blowout loss deserves and had earned all the minutes he gets.
Well at least he's not ing afraid. I'll take my chances on a guy who fights. Not so much with guys who are playing scared.
Not sure what to take away from this game. Extremely pissed off that the Spurs let a Kobe-less Laker team come into San Antonio and destroy them. Was this merely Pop playing with lineups to find something, or is he really this delusional? Why did Tony play like a little tonight? Hopefully he's taking it easy by Pop's directive. Manu and Tim played with effort, but looked old/tired. If Pop doesn't take the hint and play Duncan and Splitter against the Lakers next time they see them, then this team won't go far in the playoffs.
When World Peace scores 26 and hits 5 threes when he's been off all year and only averages 10-12 points a game, and you got Blake hitting fade away 3's, it's just not your not....
Green, the garbage time player...
Eh, whatever. It was just a bad shooting night. It happens.
Nice performance from Artest, but I dare him to do it again. He doesn't have it in him. Won't happen again.
At least the Thunder lost tonight as well...
Tony Parker picked the worst night to have his worst game of the season....
Disagree. If you want to rest players then you need to get more depth and rest them within the game.
It's OK for the lockout season and it's a probably a must, but Pop does has been doing this in other regular seasons too. Ever since he started doing it a few years ago, Spurs have been a soft team mentally.
Only the Mavs and Grizzlies can match the size and physicality of the Fakers.
The Spurs simply cannot. THAT much is again made clear from this game.
And look who's coming to the AT&T Center tomorrow night? The good ol' Grizz.
I can stomach a loss, a Laker one much less, but still I can stomach one. It's just that from the opening tip, the Spurs looked intimidated and like Sean said "Gave the Lakers too much respect." This is a Laker team without Kobe that may likely face us in the 2nd round.All I know is that I'm not going to panic over one game.
Bynum presents us, and most other teams, with a massive headache, but I don't think this one game means we can't find an answer to it (or pray that someone else beats the Fakers before we meet them
Letting MWP score like an all-star is unacceptable. I just expected better effort.
FFS, Ice, that is BS. I know you're frustrated, all fans who care about this team are right now, but check your head. Pop has taken a team we were talking about for the 7-8th spot before the season to the top of the WC, developed the out of Leonard, Green, Neal, etc, seamlessly integrated 3 new players at the deadline, and done it all with no trade assets and aging, injury-prone stars. He's one of the best ever to coach the NBA game.
Right now he's trying to figure out how the he can stop Bynum, and his CIA play is probably Tim-Splitter, but why would he unleash it now? Step off the ledge and see how he responds to this drubbing. I'd say the 3rd game in the series is the one where we'll see what he's going to do in the playoffs if we meet the Fakers.
I don't think Pop can be considered legally competent to receive a grade tonight.
Tbh, I had horrible flashbacks of the Memphis series with this game.
It was a five point game at halftime. We played tight and scared but they will never shoot that well again.
Bynum career high, Brawl Artest career high....
Lakers were hitting everything tonight, I'll sleep better knowing that isn't possible every single time we play them; I will wake up knowing Pop has something wrong with him to not play Tiago more minutes. There has to be something there that we don't know about, and I don't mean Tiago not being "over himself".
Bynum was 7-20. (Doesn't he usually shoot around .550?)
Gasol was 9-24.
Ebanks was 0-4.
We can live with all of that. And we can live with giving up 98 points. But not when we get out-rebounded 60-33. And not when Tony, Manu, Kawhi, and Blair are a combined 6-22. And not when we only get 9 FT's because we aren't getting to the rim.
Pretty good take. You know basketball. It's a lot easier to shoot when there is less pressure and you're loose. It would certainly help the average shooters that the Lakers have.
Good take man.
