I can't sleep

If the Spurs can take 1-2 games in LA that's already good. Just defend the homecourt. Don't give up anything easy. Spurs will win in 6 games.

I know this loss sucks. We had a great oppurtunity to steal game one and blew a 20 point lead and all that but bottom line is that we only lost by 4 on their court after very limited rest. This loss has the feel like we let one get away and should've won. When we lost game one to NO it was more like " oh " so i'm not too concerned , just frustrated that we let one get away. i still say silver and black in 6.

A loss is a loss.
At the end the way you lost isn't that important, the result is the same.
Spurs are a thought team. I'm sure this loss won't be in their head.

And it's only game 1, the series has just started. The team that won game 2 will have the momentum.

Dang, if Bynum and Ariza were just healthy...

[SPARKY]

Actually, that was to Elliott. And he was actually partially to blame, since he should have made the baseline cut for what should have been a easy dunk. But Strickland hot-dogged it beyond what was necessary.

That one pass made us wait 9 more years.

Dang, if Bynum and Ariza were just healthy...

i hate using that damn excuse, what are we? Rocket fans?

[TDfan2007]

me neither. TOday was just not good.

I got a 2nd degree ankle sprain playing ball, had a very awkward dinner with a friend and his family, then come home to watch the Spurs piss away a brilliant performance by Tim and choke away the game.

[TD=old&busted]

man, if i was a Spurs fan I wouldnt even be able to watch ESPN for the next few days. I cant image that sick feeling your stomach. Im going to bed thinking of how awesome the Lakers are and knowing that the Spurs are going to have to win 4 of 6 to win this series, man that sounds impossible against this Laker team

I keep thinking about it too, but surprisingly, I'm not that angry or sad about it..I'm a die-hard fan, but I've gotten past this point..I've gotten to the point where I realize that getting angry or sad about it doesn't change anything..it's different if it's a game with a questionable outcome from the refs, but this was just a game where our team lost it..nothing we can do as fans..

all we can do is remember that the players and coaches actually went through this embarrassment in front of everyone, and we have to have confidence in them to bounce back from this..it's all in their hands..

[aka_USAPA]

i hate using that damn excuse, what are we? Rocket fans?

Not an excuse. You obviously missed the point. If the Lakers can come back w/o Bynum and Ariza, what could they have done with them?

[der Kaiser]

I've only been this pissed about two losses ever...

1) Terry Porter falling on his ass
- and -
2) ing Strickland blowing game 7.

What games where these and what years?

[spurscenter]

im doing something , will post it tomorrow

Don't even front, if we didn't land Gasol you would be saying it every day.

[IronMexican]

Don't even front, if we didn't land Gasol you would be saying it every day.

I would have to be in that situation. you might be right. i think i would just be looking froward towards next year. and to the other guy, i just hate hearing that, i guess cause i hate hearing Rocket fans saying "well if yao was healthy" but i guess i took it out of context.

[Tradition]

Man this keeps getting better. The Lakers continuing to show why they are back. They are back to giving fans of the opposite team sleeping problems after winning a game in heartbreaking fashion.

In The Rock terms: "FINALLY.......The Lakers have returned as the ultimate evil empire!"

[Spurologist]

I can't sleep after every spurs game.

Better believe the spurs will rebound after this loss

I need rest

[Man of Steel]

The series will be tied after Friday.

I can't sleep because I keep seeing those fantastic Laker Girls strutting around the court in the nude...

[dg7md]

Wow, get over it fellas... Ball game is a ball game. You know the Spurs will make it a series regardless of what happens, even if they lose Game 2. There are other priorities in life to attend to.

[dastrey]

A very disappointing loss, but can you honestly say you were impressed by the Lakers? Sure they could have played better, but the same can be said about the Spurs. I am encouraged that the Spurs were able to control the tempo despite all the turnovers and terrible shooting in the 2nd half.

[Man of Steel]

man, if i was a Spurs fan I wouldnt even be able to watch ESPN for the next few days. I cant image that sick feeling your stomach. Im going to bed thinking of how awesome the Lakers are and knowing that the Spurs are going to have to win 4 of 6 to win this series, man that sounds impossible against this Laker team

We'll only need a total of five
