Ya think?!
I'm usually not emo about regular season wins but that was a terrible win
I guess we can say that the Lakers will always play the Spurs tough but, damn, that was ugly as sin.
To beat the Grizzlies, the Spurs are going to have to play a LOT better.
Ya think?!
The last couple of games have been way too casual... defensively specially this time coasts really bad
We are not very good at coasting
Spurs played like .
Neal is so bad.
TP played like (stats say the opposite i know).
TD played like .
Diaw is invisible.
Moral loss and actual victory. I'll take it.
Just as bad as our loss yesterday. We looked horrible all game, didn't play Spurs basketball.
Is it down to Duncan? Two games in a row he's had nothing going offensively, can't hit his mid range jumper and missing from shots out of the post. Or is it just underestimating two poor teams and not playing hard enough?
This sucked but its a spurs vs lakers game
We gonna dispatch Grizzlies
Lets call a cat a cat Pop has been terrible the last two games. The letting the starters on the bench till 5 mn of the end?
Spurs played down to their compe ion, tbh.
Pop continues to make NBA coaching real easy tbh. He's already proved that he can build a contender with Bogans at the 2, and a 60-win squad with Bonner as the 1st big off the bench. Now for the trifecta, he wants to prove that he can win a le with Neal being the primary ball-handler off the bench.

Pop throwing games tbh. That's the only reason i can think of for his decision making this last week.
Agree, also that Neal/Green/Kawhi lineup is horrible.
I said it in the "howard and gasol are out" thread that this game worried me. I dont like this lose lose situation games in which even if you win yo beat a depleted team and youre always at risk of taking someone lightly.
It remindend me of our game against Miami in which we lost at the end without no one.
The difference is that this lakers still have kobe nash and mwp even withouth gasol and dh.
People are gonna call out Neal and other bench players, but when he went out of the game and Duncan/Parker/Manu came back in we were up 12 with 5 minutes to play.
It was the big 3 that the bed down the stretch in this game.
I think people are underrating the Lakers because they're adapting to new coach, new players... but they have great players, and Steve Nash alone can carry a team because he increases everyone's FG% and morale with all those easy buckets... it's just a matter of time for them start playing on higher level, the potential is there
Spurs played like and if lakers were healthy forget it.
What are the chances Pop is messing around with the lineup because he thinks it would be better to experiment in the first half of the regular season instead of the playoffs?
Have the Spurs ever been good at coasting? We always give up big leads
A win is a win. Pop gambled that he could rest the starters in the 4th and keep the lead. It almost bit him, but it didn't. Nothing more to it.
Still better than a Moral Victory tbh.
Lakers
5 games below .500
hoping Earl Clark saves the season
