and if he doesn't?

Spurs are proving night in and night out that last year year was an abberation. The defense has been nonexistent with Duncan on the bench. And Mr. toughy couldn't even stick it out to the end of this one. All in all, the Spurs would have been abused by a full strength Lakers squad. And quite possibly the worst news of all, it looks like Duncan's hit a wall.
splitter had an awesome game tonight...his been beasting ever since players started cheap shotting him on the head...
Bright side of the moral defeat: Kawhi was great guarding Kobe.
Dark side: Stephen Jackson needs to get it together a little bit more. No need for 2 techs in this game.
Weird aside: What the is going on with Steve Nash's hair? That boy ain't right.
25 3pt attempts...why did the Spurs play 3 ball shoot-em-up against a team with no center & a featherweight perimeter (Nash)?
And WTF is a Diaw? If he can't score a bucket in 26 minutes then he's hurting the team.
Come to think of it he probably could've taken some shots from Neal this game.
Those 2 techs were unforgivable on a night where I thought Jax was playing some good ball.
Of all Spurs players getting meaningful minutes, Neal has the worst simple rating. Spurs won't let him go because he's so cheap but he really doesn't improve the team at all. When he's not shooting well, he hurts the team - his all around game is so damn mediocre.
Diaw played fine. Had good assists, pulled down boards. He was hardly what let the Fakers back into the game.
On the other hand, adding to the Laker free-fall is big fun.
that bull "win is a win, I'll take them anyway I can get it" mentality. That 's reserved for the playoffs. The Spurs should've embarrassed and demoralized the Lakers tonight, but were too chicken and heartless to step on their in' throat after going up 16 midway in the 4th.
Unacceptable performance.
gary neal takes alot of bad selection shots to be honest, i dont care if they go in, cause most times they are bricks....
when his not scoring, its either a turnover or players blowing past him for easy baskets....
seems like pop awards ty players alot minutes when they are sucking......suckin on his
Bball fundamentals - everyone on the court needs to at least pretend to be a scoring threat or the opponent gets the benefit of playing 5 on 4 defense.
Gary Neal is a shooter, he is on the court to take shots...
He was hardly passing up loads of wide open looks.
yeh but how many shots are you willing to take everytime he misses shots that is a needed basket that continues to bury the spurs deeper to get back into the game?
i swear gary neal usually comes in when the spurs have a lead....only to see him in hero mode giving back as many points to the other team as whatever production he puts up
well then that sucks. timmy has had good bounce back performances this year, and he played poorly against the hornets and the lakers. he was playing down to the compe ion tbh
that is not acceptable
Nah. I think he just had a bad game. Bad shooting nights happen to everybody. Just ask Kobe.![]()
LOL Manu won that game.
Parker gets a slight pass because he actually showed up during 3 quarters and a half.
It all comes down to Pop, Duncan and neal and to put the cream on top, when Jackson lost his .
Meh, coasting..I would be more worried if they hadn't built double-digit leads at several junctures of the game, tbh..typical NBA game with the superior team falling asleep against a poor opponent..
However, these past two games are a reminder that Duncan needs to play at a superstar level if the Spurs have any chance at winning a le..
Exactly. They almost always do this against these assholes, which is why they've always had more confidence against the Spurs than the Spurs have had against them. It's especially concerning because they could meet in the playoffs.
Yeah, I know it's popular to pretend as if the Lakers have no chance, but one spot (Trail Blazers) is clearly up for grabs and with the Jazz and Timberwolves having key injuries and being mediocre to begin with, I still think the Lakers get in. Plus, I'm sure some GM will feel obligated to help them at the deadline and by the off chance no one does, the league (officials) will attempt to will them in themselves.
For those complaining about a Neal-Green back court, I agree. He could easily avoid that pairing, without overextending Parker or Ginobili. All he'd have to do is pull Parker a couple of minutes earlier and leave Ginobili in for maybe an extra minute . . . but I guess that would make too much sense.
It was obvious Pop was off his game when he was so nice during his third quarter interview. Way too accommodating!!!
evidently it is, seeing how tim duncan hasn't been disciplined and you are still a spurs fan
The Lakers just did what the Spurs did to the Heat.
