    Finley earlier in the season dropped by an amazing 10%..

    These guys choke under any pressure, even when it's something as minor as an open shot in the 2nd quarter, as long as it's against a good team..the atmosphere s with them..
    Right. But Mason regularly sucks against most teams. It's just more obvious agaist good teams because we usually need something from him or another bench guy to win. Bonner has had some good games against top teams. I can live with his production.

    what do you expect when you're relying on matt bonner to play well in a big game. the guy is completely gutless.

    Also, while some naysayer Spurs fans may find this surprising, the Lakers pointed to this game more than most other recent games. You may not respect the Spurs, but the Lakers still do. So does the LA media -- I haven't seen this amount of column space in the LA Times on page 1 (sports page) for a regular season Laker game in quite some time.

    Bottom line -- the Spurs need to stay away from the Lakers in the playoffs for as long as possible and hope for an intervention of fate (ala Mavs-Warriors in '07 or an unfortunate injury ala D. Anderson for the Spurs in '01 or K. Malone for the Lakers in '04).

    Giving up seems a bit premature to me.
    Actualy, historically LA has always done a good job at neutralizing Tony.

    Check the 1st two games the '04 series. TP killed 'em.

    They finally neutralized him in that series -- after they packed the paint in a (then) illegal zone.

    Trust me, the Lakers know who TP is (and not just because of his wife).

    Those guys would not be beating this laker team. The Lakers are better than any team the spurs played in their championship years.

    No the spurs did not play scared. The Lakers turned it up a notch and coasted to a win because they are the better team.
    .

    Hill is not ready to take on full time pg, the frontline is weak, manu runs out of gas against the top teams because he has to do too much, Tim gets pounded on the inside with no help.

    I agree, the Lakers are the better team. But I would never trust Artest in a playoff series. Great player, but IMO, a ticking time bomb. Even if the Spurs are healthy come playoff time, we would be lucky to win 2 games in a series, if we played the Lakers. But I wanna see what happens to Artest, when the pressure is ratcheted up a notch, in the playoffs.

    You say in that time, he can't get a rest? but add a TV timeout in there and Manu is actually sitting for 8 minutes of real time. I triple-checked my DVR, so yeah, he got a good rest. But see, in my opinion from a coaching standpoint, you can't just tell the team that you suck without Manu. You have to continue the mantra of sharing the ball, help each other on defense and try to get the best shot possible. See, the problem here wasn't coaching, the problem was that those other guys didn't have faith in their abilities and at the same time, placed the Lakers abilities on a higher pedestal. In short, they stopped competing once Manu went to the bench gassed.
    Scared? Everyone but Ginobili and Duncan. They just didn't have enough, what Manu says a lot, "Juice," to get it going.
