The crying around here is getting pathetic

[SenorSpur]

It sucks, it really sucks... we had the win, and we just blew it.

Yes it DOES! You DO NOT give up 20 point leads to ANY team in the playoffs - especially one that you're clearly better than. They'll not be able to get this game back. All they can do now is get Game 2.

Are you an idiot?

Nah, he isn't. But you most certainly are.

For me, it's not just about this game. This is becoming a trend, especially on the road: halftime lead, proceed to choke it away and lose. They did it 3 times against the Hornets, and barely won game 7 (they really tried to lose that game, but Pargo is not Kobe). They Sunned the out of this game.

Have you already forgotten game 6 in Utah? Granted the Lakers won, but they won because the Jazz were bricking shots, not because of stellar Laker play.

Laker fans seem awful happy with their teams execution when in reality the Lakers played absolutely horrible all game despite some Kobe clutch shots.

Stellar plays, bricking shots, cluthc performances...all part of the game my friend. No matter what...it added up to a lakers win.

Got to love the fact that the Laker defense is underrated.

If Bowen is gonna be that ineffective guarding Kobe than adios Spurs. If they double him more as I think theyll do in game 2. Then Fish and Sasha will go off. Spurs aint winning game 2. Road teams usually have one good effort on the road, which was game 1 for the spurs tonight too bad they lost. Not to mention this game was a spurs type game and we still won. LA can only get better from here. Duncan was a beast unlike the last series. Im sorry Spurs fans but the Spurs players and coaches are hurt by this lost as they have already admitted. Ask the players how important this loss was given the control they had in the game. No one knows better than them. This loss will haunt them when the lakers steal a game 3 or 4 in san antonio and its 3-1 coming to LA for game 5

We're gonna reel off 3 straight wins.

[Man of Steel]

We ing sucked like to give up a 20 point lead especially to the head Lickers.

But the ers who are crying like little girls in this forum need to grow a pair of balls or get the out of here and go sign up at Lakersground where you can be with the rest of the Laker s.

Come on man, you still haven't gotten used to this yet?
People in chat were claiming sweep in the 3rd, imagine what was screamed when we lost?

I told them it was just the 3rd quarter and no mather what happened I liked what I had seen so far. Having that big a lead was very uncomfortable for me and I was laughed at for saying that. I know how we do and unfortunately we did again.

We weren't supposed to win game win after 11 hours in a plane following a game 7.....but we still just gave away the game.

Why y'all panicing?
It's a best of 5 and the series start when the home team loses.
Friday is our time to shine.

Mark it.
