That says it all.
Spurs don't belong on the same court as those guys. 2001 all over again.
Close
If everybody plays to their potential, the list goes like this (IMO):
1) Kobe
2) Duncan
3) Manu
4) Odom
5) TP
6) Gasol
7) Bowen
8) Lakers bench
12) Spurs bench
That says it all.

Forgot Odom, that was my fault. But no, TP is not better than Gasol, and Bowen is certainly not better than the top guys off the bench for the Lakers (as good as Bowen is at what he does).
For sure, he's not a Hall of Famer for nothing, I have much respect for Duncan and wished we had him instead of Gasol or Bynum. I just don't think he's a changer (as good as) Kobe.
I don't buy that. This is the same Manu that had a great finals against an awesome defensive Piston Team. Manu is not pressing because he has no lift on his shot and can't cut and change direction like he normally can. When he tries to take it to the hole he gets it blocked with ease because he has no explosion.
It's not so much that Sasha is a great defensive player, he's just damn irritating. He butthugs you on defense so half the time I think Manu's thinking about punching him in his whiny face rather than the game. And I've seen him whispering to the guy he guards too probably like "you like the feel of my nuts on you?". Something, it's not the first time Sasha gets elbowed.
The thing the Spurs should loathe the most about tonight's game is that they've allowed D-Fish, LO and especially Farmar to regain all the confidence they were starting to lose during the Jazz series. Farmar was starting too look like a D-league player against Iverson and D-Will, and I was expecting TP to just finish him off. So much for that. It looks like he's got some of his swagger back, which I think is essential for a young player Like him.
the power of boobies compels me
hey let's admit it the Spurs deserve a beating from the fans and the non-fans combined tonight.
to Pop too!
they disappeared.
0-2(again).
Game 1 -the Spurs f*d-up.
Game 2 -myto the Lakers.
Game 3- Spurs
Game 4- Spurs
Game 5 - let's see
Game 6 - let's see
Game 7 - if necessary
POLL? How much would you pay for a Laker Ticket to the FInals if KOBE and MJ were in there prime???
I'd say that Manu's problem is 85%-90% to his own, then the Vujacic effect is an impact of Manu's bad decision makings and frustration.
He would clearly torch Vujacic if he wasn't bothered by his injury, now he doesn't have any explosiveness and just shoot too many jumpers.
Manu who comes off his best nba season of his carreer is just not playing like himself and he's sometimes more hurting the team than helping.
uhh Kobe has a torn ligament on his shooting hand!!
what position does he play?.. oh yeah SHOOTING GUARD
We can't take this seriously. These are not the spurs we know. These are not the spurs that have beated the suns and hornets. Where are the Big Three's ?? we must wait til home games. This is not real. Be patience. Remember that same thing has occured with the hornets. The results of these games are not because of Lakers, these games were because of the Spurs. They will come back at home. GO SPURS GO!
Thats right... hes not a Hall of Famer for nothing.... he may not be the same Duncan of old but he effects a game just as much as Kobe no doubt... the difference between the two... maybe to a lesser extent this year... is that Duncan doesnt have to score the ball to be a game changer.. heck he doesnt even have to shoot the ball.
Called it esThat's nothing...the Spermacides better show up during the first 4 minutes of the 3rd quarter or they're gonna get torched like the last 5 minutes of game 1's 3rd quarter.
This series feels like 2001. We came in thinking we could hang with the Lakers. And it wasn't even close. The Lakers just toyed with us.
This series will be just like that.
Well Duncan hasn't been the game changer in this series yet but we shall see. I never count Duncan out.
you guys don't be so pessimists, we almost had Game 1.
We've been toyed more than once in NO, so it's not a shocker to me. It's not as if we've never been there and are doomed to lose the series!
this is why the Lakers have so many fans.
because they got that killer instinct.
Game 1 they were down by 20, they came back, survived and won.
Game 2 Spurs down by just 9, you can see them slipping , falling more, and before you know it they were down 20 and then ...
First, the Lakers come back from a 20-point deficit, and win the Game. They only blew the Spurs away in a game the Spurs thought they would steal. I can't wait to steal one in San
Antonio but I'd rather have 2.
You have made two statements about me that are right. I am pissed at this loss and I am from Texas. I am happy I don't live close to that mass of tree hugging airhead phonys in California. The rest of your comments are completely wrong since my parents were not related and my kids are a of a lot more intelligent than you are.
It's entirely possible you don't live in California since Lakers fans are more spread out and less loyal (I heard those boos on Wednesday with all those "fans"). It's easy to be a Lakers fan because they are constantly given "gifts" from the stupid organizations - it's gone on for 35 years. The Lakers have never had to rebuild with the constant gifts they are given (Wilt, Jabbar, Magic, Worthy, Scott, Shaq, Kobe, Gasol - I could go on forever about the way they have been getting players and high #1 picks for spare parts and garbage througout their history in LA).
I get tired of punks like you with your 20 or 21 posts blathering about how great your Lakers (supposedly) are and being complete jerks on the ST site. If blowhards like you wouldn't throw stuff in our faces, we wouldn't retort in an angry way. Retort means respond - I wanted to spell that out for you given the brain power you have exhibited so far tonight on this board.
Take all 21 of your posts and stick them where the sun doesn't shine. Go to Lakerground where people ignorant about basketball go.
FYI Lakers "Fan" ---------------
I'm pissed because I'm tired of Bryant using his elbows as weapons and trying to take players out. Did you see what he did to Bowen tonight or were you making love to your Phil Jackson blow up doll? Hitting Bowen in the throat/jaw with an elbow is garbage - his intent was obvious. Bryant gets away with it all the time because he is the great Kobe - the Kobe rules are obviously in effect. "Busting someone up" can mean taking a hard foul on someone to say "we're coming after you" the rest of this series. To take it on the chin and smile isn't how compe ors should react to what happened tonight.
Your star player is the poster boy for "morally bankrupt" by the way. Remember Colorado? The face of your franchise is a dirtbag and always has been. Bryant's been gifted with great talent, but his ego and at ude both stink.
The Spurs have a bunch of hard working guys that have never embarrassed the Spurs organization with behavior off the court. I appreciate their accomplishments and very badly want them to win.
Bottom line, don't mess with me right now. The front running Laker fans like you crawling out from under the rocks after four or five years (not the regular posters here BTW) pisses me off.
First of all, I apologize for idiotic trolls in this forum. I am ashamed of how classless some of these fans are...
Now that that's out of the way..
I may be one of the few Die Hard Laker fans here that would admit that this series Far from OVER until it's officially OVER. What I admire about the spurs is how successful this team has been with the same core players. I know that the spurs will definitely come out with a different kind of focus and determination. The Spurs should use their strong point.. which is team experience. You guys have a bunch of Winners in your team. NO series should be an example of how determination, experience and perseverance could conquer tough situations. I detest people that question the heart of a champion, so i try not to do the same when it comes to the spurs.
To my fellow Laker Fans: Please act like Grown ups and don't give us Laker fans a bad reputation. Give respect when it's due. The truth of the matter is, the Spurs have won multiple championships and they are have earned those. Show a little respect then maybe they'll show some to us..
To the Spurs Fans: Good luck the rest of the series. Much respect and may the best team wins.
Don't think for a second that your precious Spurs are all choirboys off the court. Robert Horry tried to pick up a porn star who flat out told him no. Let's not talk about flying elbows when the Spurs have on their roster two of the dirtiest players in the league, Bowen who goes under shooters constantly, and not to mention that vicious elbow he threw at Sasha in Game 1 and Ginobili gets away his fair share of bull . Not to mention he travels 95% of the time he goes into the lane.
Whatever, Rapist24.
Just like Obama, you have false "Hope". Not much of a Spurs fan based on your posts.
