Bynum 30
Duncan 2
Forget about the way the Lakers play in the regular season. If their 3 key players and rested and healthy they will be better than they have shown throughout most of the regular season.
Lakers go through the motions in the regular season far too often. They usually play a lot better come playoff time.
Whatever it takes to avoid the Lakers. The 1990s Rockets couldn't beat the Sonics and they tanked to get out of their bracket ... and I doubt the Rockets are giving back their two trophies anytime soon.
I've been on the Start Splitter bandwagon since last season. If I thought there was any way in Pop would consider making that switch, I'd still be on the bandwagon. But if Pop isn't going to play them at all together tonight, there's absolutely no way he's going to start Duncan/Splitter tomorrow.
Tonight proved again that Pop has been recklessly stupid to not play Duncan and Splitter together enough. But it also proves he's not going to do it. It's just not in the cards.
The Spurs are going to have to find other ways to win even though starting Duncan and Splitter has been the obvious move for 18 months now.
I was at the game and felt the sameway. Duncan looked into it but Parker just didn't seem to be in the game at all tonight. His body language was just horrible.
I wish our arena was like it used to be though, there was just so much energy for the lakers in the arena tonight and they were feeding off of it.
I knew the Lakers would be tough, especially with Sessions on the squad and not 56 year old fisher. He puts alot of pressure on TP and the defense he is not afraid to shoot it and is a smart player, but the bigger problem is the Lakers have this guy named Kobe Bryant..This man is hungry for ring number 6. I guarantee he plays on a different level than everyone else during the playoffs. I do not want to play the Lakers.
You can't coach height and length and the Lakers clearly can exploit the Spurs in that regard. That was an insanely scary rebound differential. Some of the fifth chance points by the Lakers were simply comical. I wish Popovich would simply start Duncan and Splitter from here on out.
Im surprised a national NBA writer hasn't brought up the question.
I understand why the spineless local media doesnt, but national guys never bringing up the question is surprising.
starting those two together isn't the magic wand that you people think it is.
Too many Tparks in the national/local media is my guess.
You don't have to do it on purpose.
Get the 1st seed. That's all.
It seems OKC and Lakers will be 2nd and 3rd.
If we tank then pretty sure we will play OKC or Lakers in the 2nd round.
I just want to see it happen.
Damn this coach needs his head examined.
Well reasoned response as usual.
Not to be a , but you guys are a lot more enjoyable to read after a demoralizing loss.
Its not, so might as well get over it.
Splitter sucks. Next.

1. National guys don't care about the Spurs.
2. National guys haven't heard of Tiago, hence the reaction from Steven A. Smith.
We aren't looking for magic, we want a fighting chance.
Did you high five any laker fans when you quit in the 3rd quarter?
Tbh I am more afraid of the Lakers without Kobe than with Kobe...with Kobe, there is always the great chance that he'll take the game into his own hands and chuck them out of it...
If Tim gets two rebounds, it doesn't matter if a vintage DRob shows up to play next to him. Tiago got two rebounds too. So, if you start them together, they still suck.
The timing truly does suck in regards to playing teams with size. We didn't get to play Memphis much earlier in the year with Randolph and the Lakers game is late in the season.
Pop yet again never played Splitter and Duncan together and has left it really late. Such a stupid, stupid move not playing them together at all.
No you people think starting those two together will practically solve world peace.
Does it need to be done? Obviously.
Will it? No, and the quicker the people with the high blood pressure just accept it, the healthier.
