Dethroned.
Oh fer crying out loud, work it out - they were dog-tired throughout the series! They were drained from playing 7 against that athletic Hornets team and never recovered as they only ever got a 1-day rest on old legs. It was bloody obvious the whole time.
How's understanding the NBA going for you?
Spurs finish the season in the top four. I don't think all is lost. A few new faces, some re-tooling, and Spurs are right back in the hunt next year. It's what the Spurs do.
He's better than Manu. If we traded Parker for Vlad, we'd be left without a PG, so I would not advise it. But an average Laker player is, in general, better than any of our stars. I'm on record already for offering any of our players (outside of Duncan) for any of their players at the same position (except Mihn and Mbenga).Check your head, Don.
Duncan+Parker+Ginobili=3 rings!
All we need to do is put some youth beside them.
You think Radman is a better player than TP or Manu?
Seriously dude, I hope it's the delirium of losing talking right now.
Sore LOSER
GO LAKERS!!
Im not a bandwagoner been watching the Lakers since 1980 ...
And though there not as talented as those teams i actually enoy the way thi team plays together more than all the 3 peat Lakers EXCEPT the 1st one ... when Shaq was motivated and in shape ...pop the champagne we are going to the FINALS!!!
Get off this fatigue excuse.
This is the ing playoffs. If you can't handle 7 game series then you don't ing belong in the playoffs and you don't deserve to win.
No, I'm a real Spurs fanatic, and hate the Lakers. Just stating the facts, like I predicted the Lakers winning tonight, the Lakers winning Game 4, and the Lakers winning the series. But I would love to have been proven wrong. But I was right.
Don Q, aren't you a closet Lakers fan posing as a Spurs fan?
Correct! It was obvious!
Despite of Manu's great game 3 (30 pts 9/15FG) here are his other stats:
Game 1: 10pts 3/13FG
Game 2: 7pts 2/8FG
Game 4: 7pts 2/8FG
Game 5: 9pts 3/9FG
which is an average of 8,25 pts with 26,3% (10/38) while Manu had his best season (19,6pts 46%FG).
With a healthy Manu it would have been a totally different story. It was a great run, Lakers played good and Kobe was amazing.
Well damn, it wasn't our year (even year), next year is ours!
Congrats to the Lakers. The Spurs couldn't hold on to the lead.
But as badly as they played, I'm still proud of my Spurs. They gave it all out tonight. It just wasn't enough.
Congrats to the next champs.
Well, if what the Spurs have to count on is a healthy Manu, then we won't win too many more les! Players over 30 don't tend to get over injuries any better as they age. I'd package him now for somebody like Trevor Ariza or Ben Gordon, while he still has some value. Begin the rebuilding process.
I'd like to keep Tony, but let's not pretend he's a great, great PG. He's very good, that's all. But it's obvious that we need bigger, stronger, younger, more athletic, better shooting players. In short, like what the Lakers have.
At least we've seen the last of Finley in a Spurs uniform. And Horry. And maybe Thomas, Stoudamire (what a pickup!) and Barry. Bowen will be gone soon enough. And then we can rebuild the team for another dynasty.
I like you!
This will be a fact you will see! Nothing to be sore about! You have not won the big one and you more than likely won't. Great season though you should be proud!Sore LOSER
GO LAKERS!!
I'm proud of Timmy and Brent. None else.
I'm proud to be fan of team where Tim Duncan played so long. Timmy, thank you.
The Lakers were the better team: they were far more consistent than the Spurs, from top to bottom. They did what they had to do, while the Spurs couldn't.
There are no excuses for their performance. The Spurs just didn't have what it took to win, and didn't even make it very interesting to boot. They rolled over at the worst time, being so close to another finals appearance.
Timmy with a tripple double to end a season! Something at least!
Lakers fans on this forum combined with Sasha's unsportsmanslike play...I will be rooting for them to lose.
Most of you Lakers fans are just as classless as your organization. Go to .
Those are the breaks...Spurs have been lucky to have been healthy for those 3 championships with Manu, seeing how risky he is already.
At least the Spurs went further than any other year after winning a le and for that I commend them.
Timmy gave his all, but made mistakes. (FT's were huge) Story of the night.Timmy with a tripple double to end a season! Something at least!
All the Spurs tried to fight, but they just were gassed.
I think I'm going to be officially depressed for the next two days....
Kinda like in 2006.
It's a game of mistakes. The team that makes the most, loses.
Why didn't they try to get the ball to Barry, who's got the best
3-point numbers on the team?
Duncan putting up 3-pointers? What kind of insanity is that?
Guess it goes hand-in-hand with all his missed free throws.
Mistakes, does it every time.
Cheer up Spurs fans!
Next year in an odd year!
