Nobody but TPark jumped ship, and now he's blaming his "wife" for that.

I'm telling y'all that last night was nothing more than a military exercise that was foisted upon unsuspecting fans of both teams.

Former Spurs Assistant Coach and current LAL coach Mike Brown got a temporary reprieve with the W with his many detractors in the LA Basin.

Pop didn't give them any notion about the possibility of Duncan Splitter and when all was said and done, the Spurs and the Thunder still have the same amount of losses.

Sucky loss but since it wasn't a playoff elimination...Experiment on Pop

Experiment on Pop

That's just the thing, he didn't. Experimenting would have been overplaying Splitter in hopes he had some success in the paint on either end.

I've seen this idea tossed around a few times by you and a couple other posters.

Didn't believe it yesterday and after sleeping on it and thinking it over, I'm still not buying what you're selling. Pop is just in the process of making a mistake that we can only hope he'll correct before it matters (and even then it's likely too late).

Somebody needs to start a Pop meme.

I did not get to watch the game or any "highlights". I stated before the game that for me, means nothing really. So I look at the box score and dont see any huge surprises for me except...

Ron Artest. So I really need help on this one. I do watch the Lakers games streamed. He is the one guy I really love seeing the Lakers play. His man playing D can leave him alone and basically help double. He has been playing better by getting isolated underneath against smaller guys. But honestly, his FT shooting, his 3 point shooting, dribbling, almost everything on the offensive end is just flat out bad.

So HOW does this happen:

FGM-A 3PM-A FTM-A OREB DREB REB
Metta World Peace, SF 40 10-15 5-8 1-3 2 2 4

pts. 26 leading scorer?

How in the fk does hit those 3's? How does he go 10-15? Not many rebounds so it does not look like junk put backs. What the heck happened? None of the stat lines are shocking to me personally except his.

I'll say this: Last year toward the end of the season, I vividly remember watching a Lakers/Mavericks game. The date was March 31st, 2011.

I don't typically remember other teams basketball games this vividly. If it's not the Spurs I don't really care. However, this one was different. The Lakers were putting a thorough beat down on the Mavericks in each and every way possible. Mentally and physically. Jason Terry and Matt Barnes were barking at each other. Kobe was getting in to it with Dirk, etc etc. I had never seen a team get in to another as bad as I did this day:

I remember saying to my self:"The Mavericks better hope to god they don't have to face this Laker team in the playoffs."

But now you tell me. What happened when the Dallas Mavericks met the Lakers in the playoffs last season?

Key difference. It was on the Lakers court. In fact the Mavs were also down big in game 1 in LA before they came back and won. When was the last time the Spurs had a game where they they were down big and won? It seems Pop tends to throw those games but they actually build for ude.

And grabs half as many boards as Blair did in less minutes.

You forgot that.

...Were you watching the game?

Yeah, everyone got schooled.

[TheSkeptic]

Yeah, everyone got schooled.

Yet you're pointing to rebounding as a reason to justify Pop playing Tiago only 15? Against a team like the LAL the biggest guys on the court (Tim and Tiago) are going to be out rotating and fronting.

I wouldn't expect them to rebound at their normal rates if they were playing together and I *definitely* wouldn't expect them to rebound well since they were both basically manning the paint by themselves.

While the rebounding wasn't good, this is the sort of game where the wings will have to help them out by crashing the boards while the bigs boxout. Plain and simple, when you're overmatched size-wise you have to play your best bigs.

I'm in, but if you think the meltdown last night was bad, wait until the Griz light us up tonight. Even after that goes down, I still believe, because 2 reg season games does not a season make.

[capek]

What do the Spurs have in common with the Lakers, OKC, Memphis, Chicago, Miami, Dallas etc this season? They've all gotten their ass kicked at one or another point this season. If you write off every team that get its ass kicked, there'd be no team left to win the le. I'm signed in, bought a ticket to the first playoff game, and I'm ready to go!

I don't care. An ass beating is an ass beating, regardless of the location.
