Game Thread: Spurs @ Lakers - April 14 @ 8:30 CST

Classy post but you can't say that with a straight face and say the Spurs horrific play didn't have a role in the Lakers looking good tonight.

Absolutely Spurs played terrible. But LA forced a lot of that. Their guys hit big shots too and defended well.

So you think LA wins a game against OKC?

[hommeaetage]

Pathetic performance from anyone not named Duncan. This team isn't going anywhere

Of course they'll get beat idiot no one of importance on the team is going to play major minutes or even play at all..

Well, I bet DT that before Kobe went down. Now not so sure, but I still think they can win one. Especially in Nash is healthy.

[TheGoldStandard]

If this is the TP we can expect get ready for a 1st round exit, Tim Duncan is the only guy who is playing consistent and effective and he's 36 years old, nobody else has an excuse.

[LakerHater]

So does it matter if they wim or lose tomorrow!?

[Captivus]

I want to see Baynes play 40+ min tomorrow.

[stephen jackson]

what a sad team

[SpurPadre]

At least we aren't drawing this LA team

The fact that you're scared of a crippled 8th seed isn't a sign of concern for you and your thought's on this team's chances in the postseason? I know it's about matchups but damn.

[Brunodf]

#2 seed locked, sit everybody(TP/Manu/Green/Kawhi/Splitter/TD) in the last 2 games, play Neal/Blair/Bonner 48 minutes and hope for an injury

[TheGoldStandard]

Well, I guess getting rid of the "cancer" wasn't the solution for chemistry. roleplayers need to hit shots

[stephen jackson]

parker. sucks so much

At this point, who gives a ? You especially have a sore asshole every game the Spurs don't win nor blow out their opponent.

You take issue with a fan caring about the team? So, you don't give a . Ok, but to take issue with those that do?

You were ing about stupid ass things in the past. Of course I care, but you like some other Spurs fans on here keep saying "1st round exit! 1st round exit! OMG this team sucks" Then continue to when they lose games. Y'all are a bunch of predictable quitters that I don't even want to discuss basketball with.

[SpurPadre]

Can anyone explain how Neal's positives outweigh his negatives? Because I fail to see it. Can anyone enlighten me about his worth to the team? Whenever he does make a shot, it's almost always during a bad offensive possession and he'll have jacked up many other previous shots with the shot clock in our favor or open teammates. Is there more to him that I'm not seeing and if so, what else does he bring to the team?

Quote me then where I said this team is going out in the first round. I keep mentioning how losing HCA is huge because I expect this team to face OKC in the WCF. I've been consistent on that. I respect your opinions, you should learn to respect opposing viewpoints. You want everybody to agree with you? Explain how those worried are being stupid with clear examples instead of being an internet tough guy.

[siraulo23]

cannot believe kawhi only shot 1-5

he had steve blake on him a couple of times and never got the ball, spurs should start going to him every time he has a mismatch, but nope...

saying this team will get to the WCF when all you do is spew negative bull like Spurs should be blowing out their scrub opponents. Other contenders do. It's re ed opinions like that that make me not want to engage in basketball discussions with you and some others.

You never engage, you just put down and talk, though. Contenders shouldn't be expected to blow out scrub teams? WTF?

I gave your vagina an answer.

@ expecting a contender to always blow out scrub teams. Upsets happens. And FWIW, I don't "put down" people that are concerned now, but you and some others were concerned about an unrealistic thing like that that I stopped taking you guys seriously.

[TampaDude]

The only bad thing about this is that now the Lakers are the only team with a winning record against the Spurs. It figures.

I want to know WHAT THE was going on with the Spurs tonight. They should have blown out the Lakers. TP is still hurt, that much is obvious. Splitter is a pussy, that much is also obvious.

[TheGoldStandard]

This is the Spurs and this will be the Spurs rolling into the PO. Poor Tim; Pop, Tony, Manu and the rest of the bench owe him an apology for stinking it up so bad down the stretch. This team needs to get gutted in the off season.
