    you do realize thats twice the spurs went up by twenty on the lakers
    Have you been watching the playoffs or even the whole season. 15 to 20 point leads come and go regularly.

    And that is relevent how?
    It's about as relevant as you calling me ignorant for calling Vujacic a scrub on his awesome 4 points, 3 rebounds and goose eggs all over the stat line night.

    Ohhhhhhh.... so he only played him well in LA cause Manu was hurt. Did Manu miraculously get healed? Or maybe the whole "he's hurt" thing is a smokescreen? Who knows.

    Collins had a great comment tonight about Manu and both teams when he said he loved players that dont make excuses and both Pop and PJ dont allow them to do so anyway. You could learn a little something from that. Well, probably not.
    The difference tonight was that his 3's were falling, that's all. Manu hadn't been healthy since the playoffs started. He even made "Peja ing Stojakovic" look good on defense. I don't expect to see another game like this from Manu in this series but I also don't expect to see another game like games 1 and 2, I think that if he can score between 14 and 20 points, get some rebounds, some assts, and play his usual defense the Spurs can pull this one.

    As fans we always overrate our players just as everyone here is overrating this one performance. There are two great players on the court TD and KB the rest are not HOF players just fortunate to be playing with them. Manu had a great game and the Spurs kicked our butts. Our team played like yours did in game 2 now the series will get interesting and neither team has done anything on the road so lets see if you guys hold serve. Good game see you Tuesday cause we are not going anywhere.

    That's what I've been trying to say and it doesn't mean I think Manu is a poor player. He's just not healthy, and that's why guys like Sasha even have a chance of defending him.

    Check your facts, Manu is already a lock for the HOF, Parker is close to getting there and he will and before all is said and done I think Gasol will be there too.

    I know some Spurs fans won't understand this but Tony Parker is a HOF player.

    Like I said before as fans we tend to overrate our players Tony Parker and Manu are blessed to be playing alongside TD otherwise they would be like Joe Johnson in Atlanta.

    That's ok, TP will get to play without TD for a good 5 to 6 seasons eventually.

    You do know that is the basketball Hall of Fame and not the NBA Hall of fame right?

    Manu with his FIBA resume only (where the closest he was to Duncan was when Argentina def. USA in the Olympics) has what it takes to be a HOF. The NBA distinctions only add to his case.

    Manu scored 11 points with Sasha guarding him tonight including the 3 point prayer as the shot clock expired.

    Kobe was right to laugh that he made that shot.

    You only make those when its your night.

    I haven't followed the Lakers enough, but he probably has the energy to bother people like that.
    I remember his clash with Skip to My Lou.

    Anyone who nicknames himself "the machine" should be stabbed in the eyes.

    Regardless if he nicknamed himself or not, it's pretty lame for him to get a nickname after 2,3 previous years of sucking.

    Parker's got Eva so he can embarrass himself all he wants with his little side projects.

    sasha's D is solid. i think game 1 and 2 was a combination of great defense and a hurt manu. it is unfair though to say that sasha is a scrub. the guy has been money all year, and his D is solid. just cuz a player torches you on offense doesn't mean that you are a bad defender. if that was the case then lakers fans could make the case that bowen is a horrible defender based on a few games. obviously we know that bowen is not a terrible defender. by the way, i am not sayng that sasha is just as good of a defender as bowen. just trying to make a point. ginobili had a GREAT game though. props to him, and your team, for bouncing back.

    Good points. Ginobili had a great game. Statistically speaking, he is likely to return to average.
