As mentioned above the Spurs will play to the level of the compe ion and turn it up later in the season.

4th: Lakers 25, Spurs 20.

pts from Sasha & Odom, 2 pts from Kobe who already had 23 pts end of 3rd Qtr.

i think this is what pop wants, maddening as it is. i think i remember him being frustrated at the spurs blowing teams out for a while last year. i do like how they shut kobe down and held the lake under 90 points, i just don't like the lack of flow on offense and the long scoring droughts. i would hope that would have something to do with players not being left in long enough to get acclimated and keep runs going.

Way to go Spurs!

I thought the Lakers got some nice play from young Bynum tonight. He defended the lane pretty well and he had a couple of nice buckets in the 4th quarter.

Odom was everywhere tonight, though. He save a bunch of trips for the Lakers after Kobe missed time and again in the 4th. The only other player for the Lakers who showed much was Sasha Vujacic. His 7 points on 2 FG attempts (4 point play) came at a key time for them.

I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it again before the year is over, but the Spurs seem to me to be playing exactly like the Pistons did last year after winning the Championship. They don't seem to bring it all game. They KNOW they can run on cruise control, and turn it on when they have to. It made it very frustrating last year for all Piston fans. The Championship hangover is in effect.

I'm still sure that the Spurs will be in the Finals (vs. the Pistons of course!) but it could be a very long year for the fans.

Interesting observations on the game stats:

Bynum has his career high in minutes, points and assists.

Sasha also has season highs in minutes and points.

Odom went off. Season high in points, and ties season high in rebounds.

Negative stats.......that seem to be a recurring problem;

16 turnovers (TP-4 TD-5)

< 60% on freethrows

Rasho in foul trouble. He may get more opportunities if he didn't ac ulate so many fouls.

In summary, a win is a win is a win is a win. Take it and move on. No need to and moan about anyones performance. It's a veteran team. Bad games will happen. Novemeber games do not a season make. As poorly as some performances have been, the team is still 11-3....not too shabby. All Spur fans should be happy with how things are going so far.

i bump the comment just because this is the most accurate one. thanks to basketball fans

Guess who is shooting 78.2 % from the FT line this season?

**spurs=bling** · 11-29-2005

i was seeing woai and they showed a pic of Tim,Amy,& Sidney.

that baby is soo beautiful

"frustrated at the spurs blowing teams out for a while last year"

NOT frustrated, he just noted that blowing teams out proves nothing, no test of the Spurs in the crunch.

an ugly, ugly game. Lakers shoot 35% but still outscore Spurs in 2nd and 4th qtrs.

Lakers beat Spurs in the paint 52 - 48, Spurs interior defense not performing.

Mavs lost tonight, will be ready to bounce back and womp Spurs again Thurs @DAL.
Will the Spurs be ready?

i didn't want to believe you at first, but now i think you are right. it's just amazing that this could happen to teams coached by brown and pop.

I don't know why I'm surprised I browse over the lg forums and see them whining about refs nonstop. Wow.

**angel_luv** · 11-30-2005

I didn't take the time to read the whole thread so sorry if these points were made.

Rasho seems to get a little tentative once he gets into foul trouble. but other than that he is doing very well.

I was very impressed with Sasha ( too bad he is a Laker!). I even heard him getting props on the radio during Game Time React.

The first quarter was a lot of fun to watch. I can't wait until we are back to playing whole games like that.
The team is still a work in progress but I think the Spurs are headed in the right direction.

**milkyway21** · 11-30-2005

to sum it all this not what i expect from the new Lakers

they are not as bad as I thought.

and they have young player @ center like Bynum, with potential.

well, we have one too, to face off against him someday-> Ian Mahinmi

but, they're good, they could still catch up until playoffs.

**Kori Ellis** · 11-30-2005

Bruce Bowen is awesome.

That is all.

If not for Bowen Kobe could have made a 50 pts out of his 33 attempts.........

**mattyc** · 11-30-2005

Any win against the Lakers is enjoyable.

**NZHayden** · 11-30-2005
