timvp, right about dem Lakers
-Any Spurs fan who can't recognize the Lakers are by faaaaaaaaaaar the worst matchup for the Spurs in the playoffs (in the West, at least) needs to return their fandom card and go find another sport, tbh.
-Danny Green earned a starting spot going into the playoffs going into the playoffs.
-Stephen Jackson was one of the few who didn't get scared.
-Speaking of scared, I didn't know the Lakers traded for Mike Conley ... I thought they traded for Ramon Sessions.
-The last two times in San Antonio, the Lakers just played volleyball above the rim. Sure, the Lakers hit fluke shots tonight but it didn't matter. If they missed those shots, they were going to get most of the rebounds anyways.
-If the refs wouldn't have gifted numerous calls in the Spurs' favor, the Lakers would have won this game by 40.
All that said, at the end of the day, the key is for Pop not to allow this to be the start of a downward spiral. Last season, the Lakers clobbered the Spurs in San Antonio and then Pop panicked, changed everything and the Spurs were never the same. Pop has to just blow this off as no big deal and just keep it rolling. If Pop tightens all his sphincters again this season, we may witness yet another collapse.
Don't overreact. Keep a level head. Go hard tomorrow night and try to get back on track. Then you have two more games against the Lakers to show you can adjust (*cough* Duncan and Splitter together *cough*)
But at the end of the season, if the Spurs need to tank a few games to get out of the Lakers' half of the bracket, they should absolutely do that.

Is there any way Pop still doesn't play Tiago/Tim against the Lakers?
What else does he need to see, tbh?
Great post. Agree with all
And I'm very disappointed at Tony. He didn't even try. Pathetic game
Pop is getting paid lots of money. He should have worked on getting Tim and Tiago on the court together a long time ago.
Again this is true but it's hard to swallow that the Spurs have been reduced to hoping to avoid teams.
Personally I'd rather go through them and Memphis. They're not 100% unbeatable in the playoffs.
More Duncan and Splitter, more Tony hitting shots! This game was the final straw for Blair for me. I wanted to see could he hold up....he couldn't. It is what it is. I still like Bonner and what he brings to the table, but Blair aint it vs. LA or Memphis. That's just the cold hard facts!
Ron Artest became Zach Randolph as well. Glad I didn't watch this mess on TV.
Didn't watch the game but I recorded it. Any point of watching it or should I burn the tape? Anybody?
get off our scro
just need some greg williams defense on those bynum knees
Nothing is going to change. The Lakers have a far superior front line and Pop will never do anything to try and match it (Duncan/Splitter).
I'm more disappointed in the big 3 (mainly Parker and Ginobli) setting a scared tone.
depending on the lakers' injuries and how the spurs play them in the last 2 games, the clippers may end up at no 3
The only you could possibly have, is one that needs batteries inserted in it.get off our scro
-Manu needs to get in top form asap because we cant rely on Parker being our best player. Match Tony up against big physical defenses that clog the lane and he disappears too often for a player whos supposed to be the best on a legit le contender. Scared to attack the rim, 0 FTAs, 4 points. Just pathetic tbh. Makes his performance against Chicago look amazing.
I hope ElNono and other chest-puffers are reading this
LJ are you implying that Blair should remain in the starting line-up?
Gasol/Bynum....... You have to play Duncan/Splitter. If you don't have players then it's ok,you have to try something different but it's not our case. We have 2 7 footers between our 4 better players. It's ing crazy.
If you add Leonard.... then size could be our advantage against most teams of the league.
We were afraid all these years of Odom/Gasol/Bynum.... now we can play something similar,surely worse but ...
Burn Burn Burn
DRob rolling in his grave seeing Tim with 2 boards tonight.
He might have been rolling at the AT&T center tbh
Save yourself, don't watch it.
Your statements are confusing and seem contradictory. At one point you're saying Pop shouldn't change anything, on the other, you're saying he should go to Tim and Tiago. Which is it?
The last thing Pop should do is go with this ridiculous status qou of giving Blair starter minutes and putting a Berlin wall between Duncan and Splitter on the court. If this loss doesn't open his eyes Clockwork Orange style to make a significant change in the rotation, nothing will.
Too late to sign Artis Gilmore?
