    Or can we come back against LA like we did NO's being down 0-2? I thought we would lose this first game big and come back and win game 2. But the way that game ended I don't know...

    Unless we want to make it really hard on ourselves we should go and win it.

    Yes, it's a must win. Lakers are a lot more experienced than the Hornets and unlike CP3, their best player Kobe has significant experience and has proven to come through in the clutch, whether on the road or at home.

    It's going to be hard to come back and win 4 of 5 against a Lakers team coached by Phil Jackson.

    And more so than anything, Spurs need to show that the Game 1 choke job did not effect them mentally and come out strong in Game 2. Ur not going to have many games where Odom, Gasol, and Fisher miss so many point blank layups and shots.

    The only true must win game is an elimination game...

    That said, it will NOT look good on Sunday if we're down 0-2 and the Lakers are high on momentum and confidence.

    Sadly, I think last night was our best chance to steal one.

    Of all the years not to have homecourt....

    What a reasonable, well thought out, rational post that was.

    Parker1 hopefully once we win the le this year you will finally be able to get a good nights sleep. You are always ultra pissed after we lose...
    But for last nights game I can't say that I blame you...

    I have said all along, if we win this year we will have REALLY earned this one. Ironically enough it would FINALLY be a repeat.

    I'm always extra mad after the Spurs losses these playoffs because of the WAY THEY'VE BEEN LOSING. I mean, if it were close games they were losing where a lucky shot here or there went in I wouldn't mind.

    But all the losses they had these season are directly related to effort, heart, and crunch time execution, 3 things Spurs are normally famous for. You saw what the Spurs did in Game 7 against the Hornets, where was that type of effort in the 3rd quarter of games 1, 2, and 5?

    Yesterday, blowing a 20 POINT LEAD, with Odom/Fisher/Gasol missing wide open layups, not passing the ball, settling for jumpshots would get any team fired up!

    I will calm down hopefully after Game 2. All I ask as a fan is for the Spurs to stop choking so often in winnable games. Now I know how Mav fans feel

    It's a must-win for the sake of this forum...to shut up the Laker trolls for a bit.

    I'm more confident in a game 2 in LA than I was in NO though. Spurs defy odds.

    Not a must win, but why make it harder on ourselves.

    I really think we'll win on Friday. Not worried at all.
