Glad to see Barry ing sucked balls today though.
Exactly, the win was just icing on the cake. It was nice to see the Spurs play with so much effort and focus in crunch time againt a quality team.

i think it was the team beards.
maybe espn will show this late tonight.
that would be nice.
So... I was at Saltgrass Steak House... wearing a Mavericks sweatshirt. Sit down for dinner with my family and low and behold the Lakers/Spurs game was on... 7 seconds left in OT, Spurs ball. Interested, so I watch as Duncan gets the ball and kicks it out to the perimeter for a wide open 3.
I went nuts..... embarrassed my wife, gave my kids something to laugh about... the waiter came up to the table about this time and mentioned how, seeing as I am a Mavs fan, should I really be rooting for the Spurs? But that was some frickin' balls man.
I only saw 7 seconds of it, but it was sure fun.
I agree! We needed a game like this and it was good to see someone other than the big three making clutch shots! This was a of a win. Now I hope we can keep building momentum. We need to get a long win streak and stop the Suns streak on Thursday!
Well done Spurs!
I'm kinda torn about how I feel about this win. The Spurs did suck major (and I mean MAJOR as in 33%!) ass up until the fourth quarter but they really ground this one out and got it done so they get their props for that. If they can use this tough win as a springboard to turn their season around then I can forget about the horrific start.
I'll consider the RRT a success if they can post at least a 6-2 record against these quality teams. Anything less and I don't think much will have changed.
Even with the poor shooting, I was pleased with what I saw for most of the game. We were getting 2nd chances and not giving them up. We had good looks most of the time, they just didn't fall. The defense on Kobe was good for the most part, but he hit some tough shots.
Except for some stretches, I found myself optimistic about their direction even when I thought we were going to lose.
It was a decent win. I liked the fact that several different players contributed to the win, especially in the 4th quarter and OT.
I also want to see a 6-2+ road trip, otherwise the Spurs will have stayed on their same underachieving track as the third best team in the league.
I really think the Spurs could be as good as Dallas and maybe a healthy Phoenix team. In a playoff series if healthy I wouldn't say they have "no chance" against these teams. But it would be nice to see some regular season dominance like they showed at times in 03, 04, and even 05. Last season they played great basketball too, but against the main perceived competetion Detroit they played so poorly it was tough to be too excited that regular season.
In seasons past the Spurs played the Kings (03,04), Lakers(02-04), Wolves(04), Suns/Pistons(05) -- there were a lot of meaningful regular season games. The team was still growing with Manu and TP. Now TP and Manu look like they are in their primes, and are playing reasonably well. But for some reason the defense is weaker, and the offense isn't as good as it should be.
I think its clear the Suns and Mavs are legit this season. The Heat might become legit if Shaq ever returns to reasonable form. But other than that? The real meaningful regular season games are against the Suns and Mavs. So far the Mavs have had the Spurs number, but weren't exactly dominant in their victories.
Guess we will have to wait and see how the regular season pans out. But this season has been somewhat boring considering the Spurs are losing more than they should, while Dallas and Phoenix are practically locking up homecourt advantage already. I really hope the Spurs beat the Suns and Mavs in their remaining meetings. That could instill a lot of confidence in the team.
Wow, I've never seen an Argentuzo dago get so bent out of shape over a regular season game. Does it mean your bookie gets your sister tonight instead of you?
Parker taking over in OT was amazing. He had, what, 12 points going into OT? Scored 7 by himself. Guess he figured out when he needs to take over.
This was the best way to start off the road trip possible and i think they will bring a lot of swagger into Utah and get the Win there as well.
I don't care too much about bringing swagger, more important they bring the effort and determination.
They are tied together Shooga confidence breeds swagger which breeds effort and focus for 48 min.
Living in LA, I don't have the privilege of seeing my Spurs play live quite often...but this was a special experience. I had really good seats, and (believe it or not) about 70% of our section was just Spurs fans.
I started heckling the Lakers very loudly in the second half, as they were shooting at our end. I yelled quite a bit, but am wondering if anyone at the game (or on ABC) heard any of my following favorites:
As Radmanovic shot and missed the first of two free-throws in the fourth: "C'mon! It's so easy, even a caveman can do it!"
When Sacha grabbed the ball in the corner in the fourth (close to my side):
"Your mom gave you a girl's name!"
When Lamar was shooting 2 free throws:
"Purple leg warmers are soooo cute these days!"
and my favorite...
At the start of the game, the PA guys said that when the Lakers win, and hold their opponent under 90 points, everyone's ticket is worth 2 free tacos at Jack-In-The-Box...in OT, as Manu tied the game on his first free-throw (giving the Spurs 90 and subsequently put the Spurs up 1 on the second FT), I gladly screamed:
"NNNOOOOOOO.......FFFFRRRREEEEE.......TTAAAAACCCCO OOOSSSSS!!!!!!!"
Our mostly-Spurs section got a kick out of it, and I was hoping anyone of our fans here got to experience my livlieness...if not, I was still grateful to be there and support the boys...
Caption worthy.
Cool pics. I couldn't really hear the crowd through the tv though. LMAO at the fans not getting their free tacos.

At this point, Lakers fans just wanted free tacos ; they didn't want their team to win the game to get one more W, just for the food ; damn u Fin , bcause of you, 19 000 fans are starving!

Mike- Hey Brent is that your Gatorade bottle, or are you just happy I hit that last shot?

One win, 2 pts margin, and they are back?? Maybe it's a little bit early.
"2 free tacos at Jack-In-The-Box."
... which sell, Lakers win or lose, for $0.99.
Apart from the fact that the tacos are greasy crap "filled" a 1/16 layer of mystery meat.
