NBA: Spurs at Lakers

[FkLA]

Spurs offense has not been as sharp this year tbh. On the bright side though the defense looks better, if the offense can get closer to last years while maintaining the defense theyll be tough to beat in the West imo.

[Stabula]

It basically boiled down to "Which team is worse?" and the Lakers decided they were slightly worse.

[midnightpulp]

nope. we shot just as bad against the Clippers, who are not really defensive juggernauts... the difference is we lost that game by 20+ because they're actually a decent team

Zing!

Lkrfan just can't find a way to stop the flow of onto his head this past week. Much like Kobe couldn't find a way to stop Danny Green from busting a nut in his face.

Lakers offense from an LG perspective:

With the Mike D'Antoni decision made, the Lakers moved ahead to install his offense. Throughout the game, they explored the basic D'Antoni sets and managed to hang with the Spurs, holding a lead for most of the night. Despite their unfamiliarity with the new system, they battled hard all game. They worked off the screens with regularity. No Nash. No Blake. That's a tall order against one of the best teams in the league. So it was up to Kobe, Morris and Duhon who all played PG.

It wasn't the offense that was clicking, however, how could it after a practice? They were taking their first steps, exploring what they could and couldn't do...and all without Nash, the guy with the PhD in the offense.

I'm good. I know Nash would run the offense better if he played. Yet we were right there. We definitely have room to improve and we will.

Good win Spur fans.

Tbh, our defense has been better this year - more communication, DeAndre Jordan pulling his head out of his ass, Eric Bledsoe being healthy, etc...

[mrjap2x]

Duncan will regret not retiring after this game

[Jodelo]

Lakerfans calling out their bench but before the season it was "We got Meeks/Jamison, we are so stacked"

[Spurs9]

I thought they were stacked last season when they got Troy Murphy and McRoberts. Howard doesn't even look like he wants to be on the court. Howard and Kobe's egos clashing tbh

[Banzai]

tbh i would buy a Tacoma.

I looked at a Tacoma..but the F150 looks appealing..despite it being a gas drinker.

You found another idiot homer like yourself, congrats.

Lakers' defense is horrible and Nash nor Mike D will fix that. Gasol is and has been since last season. Talented big with a ts% of .460 and we don't need to bring up Nash's numbers

[Killakobe81]

Easy to talk when you have, Bron Ace... Nothing else matters especially who coachrs the Lakers

Lkr doesn't seem to think so. Even thinks LeBron is not the best player in the game.

Welcome to the world of PED's, otherwise known as Lebron and Dwayne's world.

Damn, someone's still salty mad about The Decision

[DMC]

lol the LA Kobes.

"Kobe did everything right"

"Kobe didn't know"

"Kobe was very efficient"

Can Laker fan suck any more black Kobe down their throats? You guys spend all summer crying over getting Howard and Nash, then you ignore that Howard played like and pretend the entire team is Kobe. Kobe has never been the reason the Lakers won rings. It's always been the bigs. Stupid ass Laker fan. How does that Green donkey taste?

No, you didn't know Green was getting the ball, but you shouldn't rule it out because the Spurs aren't the SA Duncans or the SA Parkers. RMJ, Dice and now Green has waxed that ass.

[DMC]

So you're saying Mrris and Duhn are all world defenders?

Stop ing. If you didn't sell the farm for someone else's stars, you might be able to put a bench together. Too bad your system doesn't know raw talent from raw fish.

[DMC]

And Meeks is ing trash. So they cut Goudelock and overpay someone else to shoot bricks.

At least Goudelock had a nice floater, besides the midrange game. Every time Meeks goes anywhere near the paint, it's an automatic turnover.

Yeah but fans have heard of Meeks. God forbid the Lakers ever develop talent. The NBA would prolapse.

[Killakobe81]

As long as Wade isn't in complete total broken down TOSB mode Heat repeat. I don't trust Bosh as a reliable #2. LeBron.is the best player and has Ray, Lewis and even Shane to space the floor. Spurs, Clips, Knicks etc. Have no shot if Wade is 90%. But Lol at Wade as top SG or top 5 player he was neither last year or this one. He is hurt just like Manu when healthy they are in Kobe's class arguably better but they hurt too often and are overrated worse than some claim...Kobe or Rose are.

[Stalin]

This guy is COMPLETE garbage and does NOT even belong in the NBA anymore! , he isn't even worthy of college basketballl! His shot selection is a total JOKE and he thinks he is a star. The team plays way much better when the Metta Clown is sitting down! I know he sometimes works hard on defense but he flat out sucks overall. He is horrendous and a total disgrace! Lots of people complain about Pau, but at least Pau does NOT always take bad shots ... actually Pau's shot selection is very good. Metta on the other hand thinks he's some kind of 3 point sepcialist. What he should be doing is slashing to the basket alot when his outside game sucks. Yet, he continues to throw up ridiculous 3 pointers even when his outside game is not clicking for him. Smart player, eh??? Smh.
