Amaziing what one regular season win against the Spurs will do for a troll's confidence.
Did you forget how many big heads we had floating around Spurstalk when the Spurs beat L.A. in December? Personally, I would rather have wins in March and April as opposed to December and February.Amaziing what one regular season win against the Spurs will do for a troll's confidence.
This thread shows why both Spurs fans and Lakers fans can really be dumbasses.
Spurs fans argument: We're 2-1 against Lakers now.
This means nothing. The Lakers are a far superior team than the one we faced early in the season and Bynum is playing great for them right now.
Lakers fan argument: We've figured out how to play the Spurs! Just sag Bynum off the pick and roll so he can stay in the paint!
Anyone with the basketball IQ of a monkey can figure out this can cause big problems in terms of foul trouble for the Lakers bigs. The fact is, this puts Bynum in precarious foul situations the entire game. All the Spurs ever need to do is attack the paint when they do this with their variety of slashers, therefore making the Lakers change their defensive gameplan.
Also, Staying home on shooters means two things: Tony is gonna kill them in the paint, and Duncan will be single covered all game... and in the playoffs, I like Duncan's chances.
So for all you naive Lakers fans, I get it. You've won two championships, and you want respect. However, overall the Spurs have been the better team this year and we deserve respect too. If you wanna go off one game where the Lakers played like their families would all die if they lost the game and the Spurs came out lethargic, go ahead.
That might be true for some fans, but I'm more concerned about the Spurs staying healthy and the playoffs.
call me stupid but i havent seen tim duncan give full effort this year he looks like hes cruising and ive watched him my whole life, i can tell you hes going to be a different player come playoff time, just from the last game 15pts12reb (when was the last time your prime gasol got 12 rebs??) and i can see him (T.D) start pushing himself and getting ready for the playoffs its the stretch, does anyone else notice this?
@john basedow
who will be double teamed ? pick one manu/tony/or duncan all it takes is duncan to school gasol or odom a few plays and then start double teaming, dont be a complete moron and think this is the first year tim duncan doesnt show up lol look at his record stats come playoff time... u wont like what u fnd ..seriously and you act like manu is a non factor .... ummm well theres a reason kobe started in at manu while he was on the bench because manu turns kobe into his bottom when they play eachother and you know this cause your watching the games too.
not to mention parker AND HILL are going at your old man pg all game. ron artest doesnt match up well against us i mean do you put him on manu? ive seen that and its pathetic on richard jefferson? my point is the spurs bench are the guys who carried this team into the playoffs now its time for the stars to come out and take care of business.
i understand you guys have good bigs but so do we. and pop will not be starting bonner it will be tim duncan and mcdyess.
not to mention our bench will murder your bench i see neal/hill/blair killing your bench
Can someone make a "Why the Lakers won't be able to beat the Spurs in the playoffs" thread? Hypothetical bull in the regular season means absolutely nothing come playoff time. The playoffs aren't called "a whole other season" for no reason. I loved all the losses Lakers were piling up at one time and every single lakerfan/troll said it didn't matter/non-issue/blahblahblah. The Lakers finally play well against the Spurs and it's like they will play that way 100 out of 100 times. Get ing real or GTFO lakertroll.
i think kobe bryant is amazing but he and phil jackson are arrogant and stupid. i mean kobe should have been resting not playing with injuries i just think this is going to be bad news for him come playoff time. if i were l.a i would send the ball to gasol/bynum everytime
Let's put an end to this.
If San Antonio meets the Lakers in the playoffs, the Spurs will win in 6 games.
The end.
Arrogant yes, stupid, not even close.
There was a good article about our boys at www.thedailyhattrick.info including the upcoming Lakers game and the other big games coming up in the next week.
I guuess since the Lakers were swept by the heat they stand no chance against them in the playoffs...I am not bashing the lakers though
Where is this Laker troll at now?
LOL how the fukk you win 4 rings by hardly making it to later rounds? Just three years ago WCF's and last year 2nd round, before that there LE! Thats rarely making it to later rounds? R U SERIOUS? THIS year healthy as they are as well?
Laker fans are so fair weather, it's ing ridiculous. Keep resting on your laurels from Sunday. The Spurs probably played their best and worst games of the year, back to back. Maybe the Spurs came in a little over confident. Maybe that 22 game home win streak was too good to continue. And those 2:30pm games on Sunday aren't exactly the Spurs favorite time to tip off.
The bottom line is that the Spurs have been blown out once in the last four against the Lakers. The Lakers have been blown out twice and beaten 3 times in the last four against the Spurs. To me, this thread and all the other crap spewed by Laker fan is just spinning to boost up their ego and quell their fear.
I agree with the OP. I'm not happy with the loss to the Heat, but I don't really care because they are not coming out of the East, although this might be a concern in future years.
Spurs are a great team, no doubt, but they just don't match up well with the Lakers. Their hope would be if the Lakers were knocked out early. We'll have to see what happens.
Zebras
TBH, lame excuse IMO. But its understood that excuse will be used over and over again.
True
right here, gnsf # 20,357Where is this Laker troll at now?
The Spurs are going to need career shooting performances from Bonner, RJ, Hill, And Neal to even have a chance at advancing.
This.
It will be "tougher" this go around, but LA will still advance to the Finals. Anyone who denies it is re ed.
The Spurs and Mavs each need what each other has. Dallas needs a reliable second/third scorer and the Spurs need legit size in the frontcourt for defense.
Yes, much creedence to this. If TC was on the Spurs (alongside Tim) then this would definitely create problems for LA, just as Manu or TP on the Mavs would increase Dallas' chances exponentially.
it'll be interesting to see how much Kobe will concede to both Gasol and Bynum if they meet in the playoffs. LA won't beat the Spurs if he is in Kome mode.
another thing. rotations shorten in the playoffs. that means McDyess and Duncan are likely to see 35+ minutes regularly, and Pop has done a very good job all season of saving their bodies. Lakers aren't going too see Bonner and Blair as much as they'd hope to like in the last game.
it'll be a tough task, but they can upset.
bump
If Bynum keeps playing like this. Yeah, might as well forget about it or expect for a miracle.
