San Antonio Spurs @ Los Angeles Lakers
Round 3, Game 1.
Sunday May 21st, 2008.
7:30 PM (Pacific) on TNT.
The Spurs will prsent a tougher match-up than the Lakers' previous 2 opponents. They ARE the defending champs. That said, they're on their last legs and don't look as sharp as they did last season, while the Lakers are currently the hottest team in the basketball. The defense is going to be tough in this one. I see this series going 6 games, with the Lakers taking it in SA. 8)

Kobe, Odom, Fisher and Gasol vs. Pepe Le Pew, Duncan and Ginobli....
Let's whoop on em' Purple and Gold!
-
Gotta go with My Lakers in 5 games.
I see S.A taking one against the Purple & Gold at home. (First 2)
then L.A. going to S.A. and winning Both.
Lakers Closing it out @ home.
(Gotta pick my team)

goddammit, chris paul is fuckin useless. now we have to deal with the spurs, if any of our players get injured against these cheapskate floppin faggots i will be pissed off beyond belief
-
My only worries is the refs going for all the flops and the cheat shots by Bowen and Horry. Other than that, fuck the Spurs - we got it.

lakers got this series. lakers in 5 or 6
-
lakers in 4

As with the case since Shaq left Staples, the NBA title goes throught San Antonio. The Spurs are the default champion, unless someone else steps up. In '99, in a short season, when no one can step up the Spurs won, then the Lakers destroyed the league for 3 years, but winning 4 in a row is almost impossible in today's league leaving the Spurs to win. Then the Lakers reloaded but ended up losing to the Pistons, and from there it's basically been the Spurs, with the exception of 2005-2006 when Shaq went to Miami and had a drive not seen since 2000. The Lakers NEED to step up, and play their tempo, there series, and they will win. If the Spurs slow the game down, and do what they did to the Hornets, the Lakers are in BIG trouble.
match ups:
PG: Tony Parker v. Derek Fisher
These two have meet so many times in the playoffs against each other, should still be a great match up. Fisher's D is enough to slow down Parker, but Parker still has the advantage.
advantage: Spurs>>>Lakers
SG: Micheal Finley/Manu Ginobili v. Kobe Bryant
It doesn't matter who they start, look for Kobe to go off. Neither are great defenders and Kobe can stop both if needed. Might need to have both on the court at the same time to have 6 men on the court to at least have a chance.
advantage: Lakers>>>>>>>>>>>>>Spurs
SF: Bruce Bowen v. Lamar Odom
A very good match up for both teams, both can hold it down on D, but it's Odom's O that can put him over the edge. But if Bowen can get into Odom's head, stop him, and prevent Odom from getting boards, it could be an interesting night. Of course Ginobili spends more time in SF, so Odom should get his stats.
advantage: Lakers>>>>>Spurs
PF: Tim Duncan v. Vladimir Radmanovic
Pop has been starting Oberto at center lately, so look for Duncan to continue starting at PF. This will cause huge problems for the Lakers, as Rad ain't touching Tim. But if they can get Pau to go against Tim, they can try to get him in foul trouble. But look for Tim to dominate down low, and Turiaf to get more playing time
advantage: Spurs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lakers
C: Pau Gasol v. Fabricio Oberto
Gasol over Oberto, no problems. The main question comes if the Spurs put Duncan to defend Gasol, which could lead to foul trouble to Duncan. This is where the Lakers miss Bynum, because they can have Bynum defend Duncan and Gasol can stay free from foul trouble. Who is Oberto??
advantage: Lakers>>>>>>>>>>>Spurs (mainly because no Bynum means some flaws)

Spurs in 6.
I told EVERYBODY the Spurs were still going to advance when they were down 2-0 to NO, I know what I am talking about.

Spurs in 7.. tyson chandler gave tim duncan a real hard time with his athleticism and strength Pau Gasol has none of that. Tony Parker will dominate.
i had the spurs coming out the west this year since the playoff brackets were announced.. you never underestimate the heart of a champion

you never underestimate the heart of a champion
thats why you don't underestimate the Lakers... 8)

^^Lakers arent the champions ::)
The Spurs are and they are going to win another title this year.
-
Lakers in 6... one important factor in the playoffs is to stay fresh physically wise .. we're the team who has played the less games so far and with a game every 2 days , the old Spurs gonna suffer .. no 3 days break this time..

you have never probably watch some Duncan- Gasol.. Gasol length bothers Duncan ... Duncan is still better but he won't dominate, especially him not being in his prime anymore
-
Both teams will win one game on the road. Lakers in 7. The Spurs are getting old. The Lakers on the other hand are young and hitting their stride.

And the Spurs aren't really known for their back to back championships... ya know? and you know why? because they have never done so.... with teams that were younger and better than the team they have this year...

It wouldn't be a stretch to say that Gasol has been playing on Duncan's level this year. I think the two will balance each other out well in this series.

the team with Shaq is irrelevant to the conversation.
the team with Kobe as the leader is relevant.
Kobe hasn't done jack with the team under his wing until this year. getting bounced out by Phoenix doesn't mean much to me.

Spurs in 6. Too much dribble penetration by Parker that will lead to layups or wide open threes. Unless LA makes some drastic changes. Their defensive struggles at the point, and defending the three will hurt them. Also, LA needs to clean it up on the boards. My concern is how long a rest the Lakers got. They won their series only 1 game sooner, but because there was so much space between our game 6 and game 7...the Lakers got a ton of rest. My other concern, Joey Crawford.

Their defensive struggles at the point
Sorry, but Fisher has been doing an EXCELLENT job defending the point, so I dunno WTF you're talking about.
but also playing against teams in the Playoffs that were better then the Lakers. So its a wash.
That's a good one. You guys had to beat the Jazz in the WCF and the Cavs in the Finals last year. The year before that, you lost to the shitty ass playoff flop of the decade AKA the Dallas Mavericks. LMAO@your retarded claim.

Yea...That DEFINITELY was the team.........that got bounced in the finals by a shitty Miami Heat team after leading that series 2-0 (with a major lead going into the 4th quarter in Game 3). That was the team, alright. The biggest flop team of all time.

Parker has the edge against Fish , no doubt but Fish will make Parker work on D too .. while Odom against your slow ass Oberto or Thomas is a nightmare for SA

I was just curious because I see you throw the N word around a lot. I wanted to know if I was talking to someone Black or B-Rad.... that's all.
But back to B-Ball....
Fisher is playing better than ever.... defending... hitting shots with consistency.
Jookin.... that issue is not a wash. It's a real concern. Your team has never repeated out of plenty of tries. Once or twice, I could understand but at some point you have to question if it's the "level" of competition as you put it, or if they just don't have it in them to do it. Repeating is a hard thing....

I say the games that the Lakers win will be blowouts where the Lakers score in the 100s and the Spurs in the 80s...the games that the Lakers lose will be relatively close with both teams scoring in the 80s/90s.

It's all good styles, you are wannabe white for getting an education and a job.. we all know you're trying to be white because it ain't a mexican thing at all.

^ lmao at comparing an education and a job to some white kids saying "nigga" just to try and be cool. but I see a struck a chord so here is something to make the little wiggy feel better....
this little wiggy went to the market, this little wiggy went to the store, and this little wiggy cried "weee weee weee" cuz he was told not be a little wiggy anymore... :)

yea, in the season, both games the Lakers won against the Spurs they scored over 100 (compared to two losses where the Lakers scored in the low 90's).
but this is the playoffs, which is a different story. should be a great series.

What's the gay talk for? I simply illustrated how twisted your logic might sound if put into a context that is even a little more absurd, while addressing your situation. That's a quite smart thing to do in my opinion.
I write the way I write on here because I love it.. it makes me feel good, it's fun, and I get happy. By no means would I ever think I gain mad respect and street cred from fellow WCC members through saying nigga.
-
^ first off, your point was stupid which is why I dealt with you like someone who was in pre-school - and you got the point, so it worked. even if you were trying to illustrate a point, you insinuated that working and getting an education where "white" things. while I was making fun of those who act out and pretend to be from other cultures... but it's your life, live it the way you want to live. just know that you look like a retard saying "nigga" when you are some blue eyed white kid from europe.
second... I wasn't even talking to you. the person that I originally addressed this to didn't have too much of a problem with it. we said our peace and moved it forward... but I see it struck something in you... ha ha.
third.... if it makes you happy... well... then I guess it does. but you can always just be yourself and be happy with that. you should try it sometime... 8)

See, what your retarded ass won't understand, that I AM myself while saying nigga, just like you ARE yourself while having a job. Get it yet? You haven't struck a nerve whatsoever, I just have been confronted with this before and I thought people already understood, but then you come in and I am just trying to help.
It don't matter to me who you were talking to. I address the issue, not the situation. Continue to have a job if it works for you, all the best. Just remember that you are mexican and it looks stupid if you work and speak proper English, pretending to be from another culture and all that.

this post is so stupid....where does one begin? the comparison of a person working and a wigga saying "nigga"? then stating that a mexican american that talks proper english and works is pretending to be a different culture? ha ha ha ha... like whites invited working and proper speaking... ha ha ha ha... oh jeez... this made my day... oh shit I can't stop laughing.

I'll show you how to rip a post apart if you don't know. For convenience, I'm going to rip this post apart, cause it's right here already.
The easiest way to do that is to do it sentence by sentence. There are wittier ways, but let's keep it simple for starters.
* it is not a bad thing to be down with an outside culture. not one bit. you'd like to go back to them good ol' days? better not say that out loud, ese.
* culture doesn't have strict boundaries like you make it seem. you can eat pizza and not be italian. the list is endless.
* no, I'm not saying that a mexican who works and speaks proper english is pretending "to be a different culture". my point was that he doesn't. just like I'm not pretending to be black either. that's the point, nigga.
* "like whites invited (invented) working and proper speaking" <- never said they did. but by you phrasing it like this, you probably assume that if someone "invented" something, it belongs to his culture and his race.. and noone else is supposed to use it. well, news flash nigga, whites invented a lot of stuff that your ass is using on a daily. so... what does that make you? a hypocrite? a leech? a wannabe-white-ese? a retard? I don't know, it's for you to decide.
The point is that it ain't about who did what first and who has which ethnic background. Yes, it would be retarded to say that every mexican who speaks proper English is not a real mexican. Just like it's retarded to say that any white guy who uses the term "nigga" is a wigga. You think that is SUCH a bad comparison? After all, mexicans speak Spanish and do siestas all the time. Did I struck a nerve? Just to make sure you don't get it twisted.. I don't think bad of mexicans at all, I'm just showing you your thinking with a little twist in it. It's fun. One could also do it in a less insulting way, but I don't want to.
If this post was too heavy, just keep a few things in mind:
*being down with people from a different ethnic backround is nothing laughable, negative or stupid.
*assimilating to other cultures doesn't imply self-loath or anything.
*me saying nigga doesn't make me blacker nor does it have anything to do with blacks as a whole.
*culture is NOT something that is just set, it is something that constantly developes and that is not restricted to a certain ethnic group. cultures overlap all the time. to call me a wigga for saying nigga is like calling a black guy an uncle tom for getting an education and having white friends. it's a terrible thing to do.
-
^ wow, what a post. haha
-
lmao... failed... try again. at least you made an effort though.
lets see... you've compare eating food, working, education, and now even assimilating to a racial ephitet used by blacks to identify to one another? way to go genius....
see... I did all of that with no effort. :)

^Give him a break...he's from Germany. If he was out here, I doubt he'd be saying that shit.

the team with Shaq is irrelevant to the conversation.
the team with Kobe as the leader is relevant.
Kobe hasn't done jack with the team under his wing until this year. getting bounced out by Phoenix doesn't mean much to me.

I was just curious because I see you throw the N word around a lot. I wanted to know if I was talking to someone Black or B-Rad.... that's all.
But back to B-Ball....
Fisher is playing better than ever.... defending... hitting shots with consistency.
Jookin.... that issue is not a wash. It's a real concern. Your team has never repeated out of plenty of tries. Once or twice, I could understand but at some point you have to question if it's the "level" of competition as you put it, or if they just don't have it in them to do it. Repeating is a hard thing....
repeating IS a hard thing. Winning a title every other year for the better part of a decade and staying a constant contender in between, without any down years....harder. I would take having my team be a force for 10 years, every year....over winning 2 or 3 titles in a row....and then being a first round sacrifice for good teams for the next few.

you never underestimate the heart of a champion
thats why you don't underestimate the Lakers... 8)
LOL nigga how many rings the Lakers got in the last 5 years?
How many do they have in the past 6 to 8 years? See what happens when you move the time frame a few years back? We are still a a recent championship franchise ... unlike the team that you've been following this whole year and picked to lose to the Pistons in 4 8)
Hack.... what race are you?
the team with Shaq is irrelevant to the conversation.
the team with Kobe as the leader is relevant.
Kobe hasn't done jack with the team under his wing until this year. getting bounced out by Phoenix doesn't mean much to me.
Styles... what religion are you?
the team as a franchise is relevent to the conversation... because Fisher & Kobe were a part of those teams
Kobe has carried the team to a respectable level, and now even to a greater level, now that his cast is maturing....
I am a fundamental Christian....
Your turn...
Fischer was much better back then too.

well then lets cut to the chase and count them out as Champs this season since we both agree that they aren't repeaters, and pick this convo up next season or the one after when they are due for another Championship :)

define dynasty. the spurs are the most successful franchise the NBA (and I'm not sure but I think in all of pro sports) of the last 10 years. what would you call that? I'm not saying you're right or wrong, but if that is not a dynasty what is it?

LMAO@winning every other year being harder than repeating!...if you know anything about basketball, repeating is the hardest thing to do, and the Spurs have NEVER been good enough to do it. They've definitely been a great team, but they're not a dynasty.

Spurs are a great franchise, no doubt. But in order to be a dynasty, you need to repeat at least once. Repeating is the ultimate accomplishment, because when you win a title being the leagues primary target, you've done it all. I think it was Mark Jackson who said it as well..."You cannot be a dynasty without winning back to back titles"...and everyone in studio agreed with him.

4 titles in 9 years
or 3 in 6 years.
thats pretty dominant, regardless of if you can label them a "dynasty".
over the last 10 years through May 21st:
Spurs 559-229 and 96-50 in playoffs (4 titles)
Lakers 496-292 and 76-38 in playoffs (3 titles)
I'll say that the Spurs look like the stronger candidate as a "dynasty" over the last 10 years, going into this series.

Jackson: Gasol will guard Duncan in this series (http://www.ocregister.com/sports/jackson-gasol-will-2047593-guard-duncan)
By ART THOMPSON III
The Orange County Register
EL SEGUNDO — Typically NBA coaches try to avoid using one of their primary offensive players to defend the opponent's top offensive player, so that key offensive players don't pick up fouls.
But Lakers coach Phil Jackson said Pau Gasol would get the primary defensive assignment against San Antonio's perennial All-Star forward Tim Duncan on Wednesday night at Staples Center.
"Without a doubt (Gasol) is going to have to play him," Jackson said. "They'll see what it's like, test it out early and see if they can create a foul situation. That's not unusual in that situation. We'll probably do the same thing."
Gasol could find himself isolated on the low block against Duncan, with no defense to aid him, although Jackson allowed that there might be times when extra defense help slides over on Duncan.
"We've tried not to have to double team Tim in the past," Jackson said, "because so much of their offense relies upon 3-point shooting. And (Duncan's) a good passer, and really breaks down the defense. But there's always extenuating circumstances, like if you get into foul trouble and you have to do something to protect players."
Gasol, a three-time All-Star Game participant during his six-plus seasons with the Memphis Grizzlies, said in the past he rarely guarded Duncan, who has been selected for the All-Star Game in each season of his 11-year career.
"Obviously, you have to be aggressive, but at the same time you have to be smart with your fouls," Gasol said. "Don't reach, make sure that you stay in front of him and make him take tough shots over the top of you. That's what I've tried to do most of the time with him."
It is not clear what San Antonio's defensive strategy will be concerning Gasol, but neither team likely can afford to have their top low-post scorers on the bench for extended periods of time because of foul trouble. So far in the playoffs, Gasol is averaging 20 points and 8.6 rebounds. Duncan is averaging 19.3 points and 13.3 rebounds.
Ariza arrives
Jackson checked out forward Trevor Ariza in practice for the second consecutive day and said there is a good chance Ariza would be available to play in this series. Ariza has not played since late January because of a fractured bone in his right foot, but he has been cleared by the medical staff. Ariza's return could be as soon as tonight, although Jackson hedged when asked if that would occur.

Then you don't understand what a dynasty is. LOL. The Spurs had lots of success in the playoffs throughout the years, and equally as many failures...A dynasty dominates shit in consecutive seasons without falling off. Lakers from '99-'02 is a dynasty. Untouchable and didn't fail once...PeACe

lol as if NIK's definition of a Dynasty is what matters. There is no clear definition of it, which is why its always up for debate. Winning almost half of the championships in a decade, having the highest winning percentage in sports during that decade, and being a contender every year isnt a "dynasty" in YOUR mind lol But according to your logic, the Rockets were when they won 2 in a row and were never a real factor after that.
-
^it's not my definition, it's common logic amongst NBA analysts. if you fail to achieve the hardest goal, which is repeating, your team is not a dynasty. winning that 2nd championship is always a greater achievement than winning the first, and spurs have failed to do it every time.
-
Dynasty or not, get ready for the game faggots

Thx for this one S.A.

Great game. Just when I was thinking that this was going to be a Spurs blowout, the Lakers rally. 8)

Great win for Lakers! Spurs will bounce back for sure though and take game 2.
-
That move Kobe made on Manu was insane :o
-
What a win! What a win! What a win!
from 20 down....
^Word. 8)
-
jesus this game scared the hell out of me. thank god our mvp went back to his mvp form for the second half.
i hope this acts as a wake-up call for us, since its unlikely were gonna pull off 20 pt comebacks regularly
-
nobody wants to come back from 20.... but it's nice to know that we can do it. two things have come up though... and that's the weak bench of the Spurs and their team's weakness of going through long scoring dry spells...
-
I'm impressed by these last 2 games. The closeout game in Utah: we FINALLY grinded out a W and didn't let a team come back to break us in the 4th. And tonight: we finally completed a comeback.
Tonight was the tale of 2 Kobe's. I think I see why he played so much better in the 2nd half. Take note of the shoes in both pics...

I was at work and hearing the score gradually
down by 8, 15, then 20 I can't believe they won

game 1 is the series? lol. Usually I see game 1 as very important, but even if we won...i wouldnt put that much weight on it in this series. It was almost like you could see the rest...and lack of rest effect both teams. LA started off kind of slow in the first half, maybe because of a long layoff. And we seemed to slow down at the end, maybe because of no layoff lol. Either way, we started missing shots and blew this one. Good game though.
-
boy that laker comback was great!... i think that comeback is a big milestone for this laker squad... showing that they can do that with a team like the Spurs is a big determination that this is a championship calibur team.

You can thank the Laker defense for that one. ;)
Game 1 is really gunna affect the Spurs mentally throughout this series, though. I mean, if the Lakers woulda won in normal fashion by 10 or whatever, the Spurs woulda been thinking, "okay, we were tired, our plane ride got fucked up, and we ended up sleeping on the plane, which really affected our play... we will take care of business in the next game with more rest and preparation"...But now, after the Spurs had them where they wanted and the Lakers rallied back from 20 points down, they've gotta be thinking hard about that blown opportunity. :-X

manu ginobli's playing like shit for the last 3 playoff games, he was one of the key reasons that they lost yesterday they should've just kept on throwing it in to Tim Duncan he was fuckin pau gasol up yesterday
and the run didnt start til bruce bowen immediately went out with his 3rd personal in the 3rd quarter..thats when kobe started taking it to udoaka and he got hot.. spurs could take this series...even had the home crowd booing lol
pop needs to put horry in his length is a factor on the defensive and rebounds.. plus he has expierence.. he needs to take up finleys minutes and cut into ginoblii's

down by 8, 15, then 20 I can't believe they won
I think the Spurs fucked up bad with this one, this game seemed like the series to me
if they could have stolen one it would have been a disaster for the Lakes
game 1 is the series? lol. Usually I see game 1 as very important, but even if we won...i wouldnt put that much weight on it in this series. It was almost like you could see the rest...and lack of rest effect both teams. LA started off kind of slow in the first half, maybe because of a long layoff. And we seemed to slow down at the end, maybe because of no layoff lol. Either way, we started missing shots and blew this one. Good game though.
You can thank the Laker defense for that one. ;)
Game 1 is really gunna affect the Spurs mentally throughout this series, though. I mean, if the Lakers woulda won in normal fashion by 10 or whatever, the Spurs woulda been thinking, "okay, we were tired, our plane ride got fucked up, and we ended up sleeping on the plane, which really affected our play... we will take care of business in the next game with more rest and preparation"...But now, after the Spurs had them where they wanted and the Lakers rallied back from 20 points down, they've gotta be thinking hard about that blown opportunity. :-X
lol why would this game affect the Spurs mentally? lol Their easily the most mentally strong team (MAYBE Detroit is close) in the playoffs. If game 1 and game 2 in NO didnt phase them mentally, this will for sure not. We controlled most of the game, and then simply stopped hitting shots. It wasnt all Laker D, we were missing wide open shots. If the Lakers defensive game plan was to give up wide open jumpers...then you did a good job of that.
-
look for pop to bring ginobilli off the bench in game 2, he has a habbit of mixing it up every couple of games. especially in ginobillis case. i still think were in for 7 games tho. the spurs had shaky starts against new orleans and phoenix. if anything i think the spurs can take alot out of the game, i cant see what happened the other nite happening twice.
the lakers are looking real good at the moment tho, no denying that.
-
and the run didnt start til bruce bowen immediately went out with his 3rd personal in the 3rd quarter..
But it wasn't Bowen that had Kobe dispensing the ball in the first half. And that run continued even after Bowen re-entered the game...
I personally think that their morale is low after this one. But if they can bounce back, more power to them. If it didn't effect them though, their coach wouldn't be saying that it "hurt like hell."
This low-scoring type of a game was exactly the kind of game that many believed that the Spurs needed to have in order to contain the Lakers... and they lost it.

Why would it affect the Spurs? Gee...maybe because they're not a team that typically breaks down the way they did last night. Lakers are no New Orleans. I admit, they were missing their share of open looks, but there was a lot of great defensive pressure on them in that 4th quarter, and that's undeniable.

game 1 is the series? lol. Usually I see game 1 as very important, but
well I'm talking as far as control and momentum goes... obviously it's not over but I feel the winner of this game takes control
especially the kind of win it was, the way the Spurs really let one slip away could prove devasting to them.... just like it would have the Lakers if they lost at home
it doesn't mean much, anything can happen, but knowing Phil Jackson's teams are 40-0 when leading 1-0 is a big deal to me and very crucial
Spurs win last night and I really believe the Lakers would lose the series

i agree the Lakers stepped their game up in the 4th, while we didnt. Its just always comical how often people try to assume what is going on in the heads of NBA players who they dont even know lol. Whats even funnier is the rush to judgement after 1 game lol All Im saying is, we were questioned in previous years and after game 1 and 2 in NO....it was said how much "trouble the Spurs are in". How "demoralized they are", etc...etc....and we see how that ended up. Under the circumstances, this was FAR from a demoralizing game. Having the Lakers come back from 20 sucks. But if we had 5 days rest, and you had 1.......and you guys came back like that on us in the 4th, then it might be demoralizing. In case you havent noticed, the Spurs arent the type of team that gets demoralized easily.
I expect game 2 to be a better game by both teams. We both had some ragtag moments in game 1

From the way things have gone, ive learned not to make early assessments in a series. If the Lakers win game 1 and 2, it puts some pressure on us. But its also what they are supposed to do. The series really starts once games are played in both cities.

kobe didnt start taking it to them til after bowen came out, at this point the lakers were down 20 pts.. when bowen came back in the 4th lakers were down only by 4 pts, by this time he was hot and found his rhythm demolishing udoaka..
bowen was active last night all over the floor in the passing lanes as was tony parker
i know you laker fans have to see the flops... especially because they are looking to draw the foul so much that they miss their shot entirely
-
well I'm talking as far as control and momentum goes... obviously it's not over but I feel the winner of this game takes control
^^^^^
i have to add its only game 1.. the spurs are the defending champs they arent going to go down without a fight.. this was a game played at staples center where your reserves have more confidence playing on the road.. the ronnie turiaf's, jordan farmar's, luke walton's, even sasha vujachic who hit that 3 pointer when kobe was blatanly calling for the ball during his run
well guess what, the spurs are the same way.. series is not over its barely starting.. don't get too happy, get ready for a helluva series 8)

LOL@talking about flops...when defending the SPURS. LMFAO. Sorry, but I have to go on the record and say, the officiating in last nights game was horrendous. Seriously, Duncan woulda fouled out at least twice if the game were called properly.
As for Kobe, I was telling my homie as we were watching the 1st half that Kobe was conserving his energy for the 2nd, and that's exactly what happened. I really doubt Bowen had anything to do with it...Kobe always lights up the Spurs.
-
im not even defending the spurs.. im just merely pointing that out, 'cuz you already know ginobli flops
bowen obviously was bothering him.. evident in the fact before a time out when kobe missed a shot and held the ball up to his lips and was talking to the ref lol he was talking about bowen hounding him
-
How the hell was Bowen bothering him? Kobe wasn't even taking shots (I think only 3 in the first half). Kobe always does that to the Spurs: comes out passive, gets his teammates going, then explodes. G.Pop knew it was coming, too bad for him his players didn't pay attention.

LOL...did you listen to Popovich after the game? He's the one who said it's gunna take a whole lot of mental toughness from the Spurs to recover from what went down. That was a devastating breakdown, whether you admit it or not.

You're right...it wasn't a devastating loss. It was your average, everyday defeat. Not a mental breakdown whatsoever. :D
-
what a comeback, that shit was a classic ;D
And Lamar needs to step his game up...he better not let us down.

i know you laker fans have to see the flops... especially because they are looking to draw the foul so much that they miss their shot entirely
as someone else pointed out already, Kobe only took 3 shots in the first half ..... he was looking to dispense the ball... and so what if they were only 4 down when he came back? if he was such a force as you claim, shouldn't he have shut him down and stopped their momentum?
-
Can't wait for Game 2. 8)
-
Good D so far ... Sasha effort is impressive once again, Jordan seems to have his confidence back .. Pau and Lamar have combined for 4 missed lay ups though .. that's disgusting
-
horry is horrid
gasol blows also
farmar's block was fucking sick
offense is quite bad for the spurs
last play was an obvious foul by kobe
-
I like the flow of this game...the Spurs are weaker than I thought. Hornets shoulda' taken their asses out.
Sasha>Manu. ;D
LOL...not really, but he's definitely playin like it.
-
^^^^ you forgot Ginobili ... dude is choking hard .. even if he's not 100% he should play way better
-
There's been times when I was happy about how bad that asshole is playing and then in the 4th quarter he knocks down those ugly 3 pointers and make a few wild drives, goes to the lane and the Spurs ended up winning the game, so I wouldn't be too sure about him sucking dick throughout the whole game... 1st half he sucked obviously
-
my god the spurs suck today... lool
-
Time to cry, ToNe
2-0 muufuckaz...on the way 2 the title... 8)
-
my god the Lakers are great today... lool
Very true.
-
I was expecting a close game with all of that "bounce back from a tough loss" talk from commentators and Spurs fans.... but tonight was just a straight ass-whoopin'....
Good job Lakers.... now let's go to S.A. and take care of business.
-
Lol wow. I wasn't expecting that.
-
can u say blowout? ;D
lakers look like thay can win at least 1 on tha road
-
Ariza played. :D Tough game coming up in San Antonio. Props to Lakers especially Odom and Farmar.
-
Time to cry, ToNe
2-0 muufuckaz...on the way 2 the title... 8)
::) LOL .. the Lakers just did their job by winning at home .. SAS will easily win at home :laugh:
-
^^Change your sig. The Lakers are done with the Jazz.
-
i called it ...lakers in 5. but if we win one more time like this.....SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
-
"LOL .. the Lakers just did their job by winning at home .. SAS will easily win at home"
Thats a Laker fan talking about S.A. winning 2 at home easily? If the Lakers win it all, I bet this dude is going to be hootin' and hollerin' like he knew it all along...

^ i'd love to respond... but all you did was quote me. need to fix? 8)
-
^^^^ yep I was just imitating Jookin 27.. you know he always has been said that after the Hornets up 2-0 , he repeated yersterday ..
-
^^^^ yep I was just imitating Jookin 27.. you know he always has been said that after the Hornets up 2-0 , he repeated yersterday ..
ah... my bad then... I thought we had a Lakers version of Hack Wilson. Carry on soldier. Go Lakers! 8)

nah ... I ain't no Hack Wilson , I've been rooting for the Lakers for 12+ years and even go to LA to attend games ( in 01 and 07) from France .. I wanted to go this year aswell but couldn't have holidays during the playoffs period due to work .. I'm a little pissed to miss this great playoff run ..
-
i called it ...lakers in 5. but if we win one more time like this.....SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!
Game 3 will be VERY hard to win imo ... the key is the beginning of the game ... I hope/think the 2 losses in Utah have been a great lesson ... I think Parker and Ginobili will be very agressive on the early going ... so far we have been very good at avoiding them to go to the basket and kick it out for the shooters .. the refs will call BS fouls though (see Utah Games) .. if we stay with them at halftime, we have a very good shot to win it
-
Us winning games 3 and/or 4 will depend on how well the bench plays. If it goes to 6 Kobe will carry us to the Finals.
-
^^^^ yeah our bench was pretty poor in Game 3 and 4 in Utah .. I still think the key is to maintain our great D .. the way we help on Parker and Gino in the paint AND still manage to get hands in the face of their shooters at the same time is impressive .. they don't get a lot of CLEARLY wide open shots ..
-
straight fucked them up tonight
I got $$$$ coming to me soon ;D
-
I'm watching the replay right now on TNT
Marv Alberts really has got to be the worst announcer ever
*reads some stats* "3 SECOND VIOLATION!"
-
i love marv albert wtf are you talkin about.
anyway, the longer this series goes the more it favors the Lakers.
-
you may like his emphasis on a score
but unless you have dick in your ears you can hear plain as day how awful an announcer he is
-
damn, lakers killed the spurs in game #2
-
crazy win tonite, lakers shut the spurs the fuck down
here's hoping we take some w's on the road so we dont end up like the hornets and putting everything on the line in a game 7.
-
i love marv albert wtf are you talkin about.

Naah, he's right...Marv Albert fell off big time.

Marv Albert is horrible. And man the Lakers looked amazing in game 2, they are 2 wins away from proving me wrong but SA isnt finished yet.
-
The Lakers are +54 in the last 66 minutes against the Spurs
:o ;D 8)
-
Lakers haven't blown a 2-0 lead since the 1969 Finals to the Celtics
-
how bout them Lakers?
-
looks like Hack done missed alot around here
missed the 2nd half of last nights game but i dont think i missed much haha
congrats to the LALA fans
-
If The Lake Show can pull out 1 of 2 in S.A.
then we can start making plans for the Finals.
(But I won't count out the champ's until the are K.O.'d)

We got this series in 5...
-
the rest of the series will be determined , at least IMO, by how well both teams play today
if the lakers blow out the spurs again today....it's over
if the lakers win by a small margin today....they'll lose the next in SA and win game 5
if the spurs blow out the lakers today.....they'll win the next by a small margin, then the series will go to 6 and the lakers will win
either scenario, lakers takin' this.

Did Kobe travel on this play?

Probably. Its hard to do shiet like that without traveling.
-
Yes he clearly travels. You can see it from the other camera's.
-
He lands on his right foot first then uses his left foot to pivot, which is a travel.

Yeah. You can see it clearly from this video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/qhA0zCJV6mc
The .gif doesn't show the feet.
-
Laker-Fans put fancy turnovers as their sig. Love that.
-
Actually after seeing the video I say no. His left foot was his pivot. He didn't lift it till he jumped for the shot.
-
^^But if you land on one foot before the other then that is your pivot foot That was his right foot.
-
Pau Gasol finishing up with a terrible first half
Odom needs to hit his fucking FT's
-
^^But if you land on one foot before the other then that is your pivot foot That was his right foot.
I can't tell. Lets both keep at it. We'll meet back here in 3 hours for the final verdict.
Aye the Lakers are playin stank as hell right now. Wtf?
-
is it just me or does this game look identical to Game 3 against Utah?
-
Odom and Gasol are playing too soft. They keep going for layups. DUNK THAT BALL, BITCH!
-
Like Kobe just did.
-
kobe is the only nigga showing up in this game
he had like 10 points in 1 minute or something it looked like (maybe m just baked)
a 3, a 3 and a 3 with a foul
-
L.A. had a chance to knock them down, but let them hang.
Now the Lakers will have to suffer another game for it. (with pressure)
Still got another chance for the Knockdown next game tho.
Spurs played their balls off tonight.
Lakers played very very Bad.
-
I'm gonna go turn on some Maxwell, pour myself a strawberry daiquiri, take a candle-lit bubble bath and pretend this game never took place.
-
^ :D
I'm going to watch Iron Chef America @ 9pm ;D
-
Gasol & Lamar missing to many easy shots...that shit was annoying....And D.Fish has to play better
-
damn yea those eazy shots thay missd wur rlly fuckin annoyin me thay gotta win tuesday
-
We missed way too many easy shots and SAS got some deadly runs .. but I ain't mad , 90% of the time , the team down 0-2 win Game 3.. SAS DID spent a lot of energy , Game 4 will be decided in the clutch ..
-
Let me first congratulate S.A. on their win tonight.... and to Genobli who really stepped up. Now that is out of the way, I'm expecting for us to come back and win Tuesday. Odom knows that he messed up and he will be out to redeem himself.
-
Spurs Role players did the same thing the lakers role players did to them at home
its funny how in the playoffs the tell tale of a series from game to game can change
spurs blown out by 30 , then come back and blow the lakes out by 20
duncan>>>gasol
robert horry is playing some good minutes doing all the things that dont show up in the stat sheet
-
Actually after seeing the video I say no. His left foot was his pivot. He didn't lift it till he jumped for the shot.
He travels, man. ;)
-
robert horry is playing some good minutes doing all the things that dont show up in the stat sheet
Yeah, like being so horry-ble on offense that Odom or whoever his defender is can go and double another nigga or go and close the way to the basket to make penetrating more difficult. Horry SUCKS.
-
^^ sure hes struggling offensively but you have to respect him at home where he can knock down his shot. he'll find his shot however his major contribution is on the defensive end (with him & duncan clogging up the lane) and his rebounding. his long ass arms and expierence is giving pop some good minutes
-
^^I have to agree w/ 7even here, imo Horry currently sucks.
-
The current Horry definitely sucks...that said, he's very capable of snapping out of it and finding his shot with ease. Horry has always been inconsisten with his shot, outside of clutch moments. LOL.
Lakers were expected to lose Game 3...I mean, I didn't think it would be THAT bad, but we practically didn't show up. We'll take care of business tomorrow. Hopefully, it's not a repeat of the Utah series, cuz we definitely took yesterdays game very lightly. I think Phil will let 'em know what's up, and the tone of Game 4 will be much different...PeACe
PS...the gif is not a travel. his pivot foot (right) stays down until he goes up for the shot.
-
PS...the gif is not a travel. his pivot foot (right) stays down until he goes up for the shot.
He takes 4 steps, man. Watch it from another camera. He does a little jump. Tecnically it's a 4 step movement. In Europe they call it.
-
^To me, it looks like he kept his pivot foot (right foot) down from the point he stopped dribbling to the point he went up for the shot.
-
the irony of this move (he travelled imo) is Kobe did it against a player who travels like 70-80% of time he drives to the hoop ..
-
^To me, it looks like he kept his pivot foot (right foot) down from the point he stopped dribbling to the point he went up for the shot.
It's cause you're watching the .gif (the camera doesn't show Kobe's feet). Like i said try watching it from another camera. Watch this one (the first one).
http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/qhA0zCJV6mc
He receives the ball, he goes inside for a penetration. He stops with both the feet (that means he can choose his pivotal foot now). He fakes the shot. BUT after he fakes, he does a little jump and he moves both the feet for a moment. You can see it. He stops, he fakes, but he moves both the feet. This is where he travels. Then he finishes the movement. In Europe they call it 99% of the times. I used to be a ref, so i'm used to watch the feet everytime, and to me it's really clear he travels. His intentions were good, but the execution wasn't.
-

Manu played in Italy. He knows how to do a penetration without traveling. He know how to play basketball. That's not the point. The point is that in the USA they NEVER call travels. They just don't care about applying this rule 100%. They only call travels when somebody makes 5 steps, lol. I mean i've seen some highlights from Lebron where he takes 5-6 steps, litterally. And they didn't call it travels.
Shit, if you watch Kobe's movement again, he probably travels when he starts his movement too. He takes a step before he puts the ball down. In Europe they tend to call it too. In the States they didn't even notice it. It's just a different way of referring games. So i'm not surprised they didn't see Kobe's travels. And i'm not surprised some of the people in here (from the States) aren't recognizing it.
But hey, it's the NBA, not the italian championship. So.. let's just admire Kobe's movement and who the fuck cares if he travels. 8)

Gotcha...that camera angle is way better. The NBA calls only about 50% of travels, though. LOL.

Now, that last dunk by Duncan was a BLATANT travel. :-X
-
Someone needs to teach Walton, Odom, and Gasol how to dunk a ball. I've never seen a 7 footer settle for so many layups.
-

Walton is so garbo...Gasol is more of a finesse player and Odom is just settling. Both Gasol and Odom can dunk it, though. I've only seen 6'8" Luke dunk the ball about once or twice in my life...LOL.
-
Make that three times. :laugh:
-
That was a weak dunk, but it'll do. :P
-
We can't win this game .. refs are about to even the series :-X
-
The reason Odom was so beastly against the Jazz is because it was all dunks. He fuckin sucks when he goes up for layups.
The refs are really bailin Tony Longoria out but we got this. Kobe & Radmanovic are playin great. If we can get Gasol in the mix its 3-1.
-
We can't win this game .. refs are about to even the series :-X
^I've always hated Elmer Crawfudd. People were talkin about how this was bad for the Spurs, but he's BEEN a known Laker hater.
PS...Change ya damn sig.
-
Damn, these calls are ridiculous. Usually I'd just say deal with it a play, but what the fuck is going on out there? It's a miracle the Lakers are up by 7 points to end the third quarter.
-
^Seriously...I knew this would happen as soon as I saw Fudd was in the ref line-up, though.
and Brent Barry, WTF? shoot me in the face.
-
I smell a victory. ;D
-
wow...Fisher is now my new favorite player after thaat shot with 1-2 seconds left on the clock...thats a dagger to the spurs heart
-
Looks like wcsoldier can move on to a sig clowning Garnett :-X
-
Doug and Marv are acting like this is the Lakers 4th win. :laugh:
-
Even with the refs in their backpockets we win ;D
Bring it home and shut em down Lakers!
-
uh oh...its getting close lol
-
uh oh...its getting close lol
2 points up with possession with 7 seconds left. I'm not worried. :laugh:
-
:-\
-
Ugh wtf are they doing out there?!
-
If L.A. Blows this with & the spurs hit that Shot!!!!
The spurs will take all the heart away from us.
-
THX Joey
;)
-
WOW that was hella dumb. LOL
Too bad the Spurs couldn't capitalize. Would've been the funniest shit ever.
-
Oh, now the Spurs have a problem with the refs. :-*
-
Nigga I thought Horry was gonna come and Sacramento us. That was close but a W is a W.
-
Lakers got away w/ Murder. Fisher fouled the shit out of Barry on the last play of the game, A foul that blatant has to be called, LA lucked out.
-
As if it was not clear that the Finals are already set up... Stern would kill himself before having a Spurs vs. Pistons final when he can have a Lakers vs. Celtics one... it's common sense, really. My God would that have been funny if Barry got that call. :-\
-
fuck outta here....Lakers played 5 on 8 tonight.....kb has gone to the line 6 times in this series......i don't want to hear bitching from the haters...FUCK THE REFS
-
D.Fish & Lamar were in foul trouble the whole game....spurms had their chances.....we got all the hustle plays
-
a W is a W.
-
LOL .. the refs clowned SAS Hard ... 1st we keep you in the game to better fuck you up in the last second :laugh:... Kobe was taking poor decisions in the 4th and Gasol almost cost us the game ... props to Lamar , he was clutch in the 4th .. SAS never led so it's deserved
-
hah thats just gunna make san antonio cry like little bitches for a long time if this series ends in a couple days 8)
-
Barry did get fouled at the end, but not in the act of shooting. And I believe we had a foul to give. Either way fuck him. The Spurs got all the calls in the world and they still ironically lost on a no call. Karma is a muthafucka.
-
if anything the spurs were getting that game hand CRAFTED TO THEM. i mean c'mon our guys' were gettin' fouled and gettin no love, but we'd look at the spurs and get called. phil knew what was up when he "you want me to tell you the truth? it's the guys with the whistles!" fuck the spurs they had that game given to them on a silver platter and couldn't come through, i don't blame the refs for not callin that. plus it's not like fish didn't try to jump out of the way.
-
Barry did get fouled at the end, but not in the act of shooting.
Exactly.
Kobe's miss hit the rim before the ball went out of bounds. If the Lakers got a new 24 shot clock like they should of we wouldn't need to talk about this right now.
-

Thats not even important. All Barry had to do was lean into Fisher and we'd all be watching over time right now. Not our fault his basketball iq drifted away at the most critical point in the game season.
-
Greg Popovich said it wasn't a foul. Both Duncan and Barry said that the refs are not going to call that play. They're really taking the high road.
-
and if u look taht that so called goal tend on parker at the end...it wasnt even a goal tend so i guess its karma
-
^^And Bowen grabbing Kobe, and the list goes on.
-
Now, that last dunk by Duncan was a BLATANT travel. :-X
^^^^^
-
3 - 1.... 8)
As for the Refs, there were a lot of calls that didn't go the Lakers way during the game (most of which has already been pointed out in this thread). It's hard to get those kind of calls with 2 seconds left. The Spurs had their chances to take the lead plenty of times. Plus, the refs did screw us on not giving us a new 24 second clock near the end there, so it's a wash...
-
Lakers got away w/ Murder. Fisher fouled the shit out of Barry on the last play of the game, A foul that blatant has to be called, LA lucked out.
Touch-foul calls like that aren't made on the last possession of the game. Did you watch the whole game? The refs were clearly screwing the Lakers all the way through. LMAO@"got away with murder"
-
In the last minute of the games, refs in the NBA are famous for just letting them play. Unless it's a tech foul, or flagrant foul, the refs will let it go.
-
looks like the western conference is pretty much decided
all i need is the celtics to get into the finals with the lakers and i get the $2k in the office pool
-
Don't forget what happened the last time the Lakers were up 3-1 in a playoff series. :-X
-
^You mean when Smush Parker, Luke Walton, and Kwame Brown were 3 of our starting 5? LOL.
-
^Seems like a life time ago. :laugh: I'm just saying don't start thinking about who the Lakers are going to play in the finals just yet.
-
True it's not over yet, but I'll take us being in a 3 - 1 advantage any day....
-
FUCK THAT. i'll be the dude that says it's over! cuz it is
the spurs BENCH (not the starters, NOT THE STARS) showed heart! and they still weren't able to pull through. plus they had the refs in their POCKETS the whole time. like i said the longer this series goes the more it favors LA. now the spurs have to go into staples knowing that no one has beat us there in HOW LONG? Then half of them are beat up or their joints are cracking so unless kobe breaks his arm making bruce bowen his poster side kick, this series is a wrap the only time the spurs have been this embarrassed in the playoffs is when the lakers swept them on their way to the championship.....
This series's in the refrigerator: the door is closed, the lights are out, the eggs are cooling, the butter's getting hard, and the Jelloooooooooooo's jigglin'!

When you see how we're about to go the Finals without too much trouble , it's a scary thought .. next year with Bynum, opponents may not show up on the court ..

Yeah due to all the success we've kind of forgotten about Bynum. He hasn't even played a single game with Gasol. Scary.

^I might just stop following the NBA. Nothing is worse than an unfair team dominating the league. Especially when done through shady trades and the signings of good vets who are desperate for a ring. (The latter will probably happen, too, this off-season)

The Celtics probably got more room for desperate vets cause they have less players on the roster who earn any respect. But they didn't impress in these playoffs and are already aging with a horrible coach, whereas the Lakers still got upside in Bynum. Ray Allen is already on a major decline, he will probably be dealt as a contract and not as a person in ~15 months.

Lol
Seriously tho, wtf? We pulled off 1 unfair trade (granted it just might go down as the most lopsided trade ever). The rest of our main guys (Kobe, Odom, Vlad) have been here. It took us nearly 4 years to get this team together.

Damn Barry even traveled on the last play...

I remember the year before Shaq joined the Lakers, the Magic came to LA and the Lakers just dominated and Elden Campell played the best game of defense I saw (until the NBA Finals 2004) against Shaq. Elden's D on Shaq allowed the rest of the Lakers to go at the rest of the Magic, and at the end when it was just a blow out mid way through the 4th, Chick switched it up...

i wuz nervous durin tha whole game
i wuz happy refs didnt call that contact fisher made Popovich evn said if he wuz a ref he wudnt have calld it
-
Any of yall see Jim Rome talk about the whiners who think Brent should have gotten the foul call?
nobody can ever complain in favor of the spurs as they wouldnt even have been in that scenario without the ref assistance in the first place. odom's block on parker was clean, not a goaltend. manu's foot was on the line, his 3 shoulda been counted as a 2. fish's shot hit the rim, shot clock should have been reset which woulda forced spurs to foul lakers.
and on top of that, if brent barry was to get the foul call, it would have been a regular on-ball foul as opposed to a shooting foul, since instead of leaning into fisher and takin the shot, he put the ball on the floor and dribbled away from the contact first. now i KNOW barry didnt think he was gonna get no damn on-ball foul call with 2 seconds left to play. especially if the league mvp kobe bryant couldnt get a single foul call the ENTIRE FUCKIN game

-

Huh? How old are you? Chick called every game in the threepeat era...Joel Meyers isn't bad, but compared to Chick, he's nothing. He's one of the current best play-by-plays in the league, though.
-
i hate joel , i always wondered what happened to Paul Sunderland, i like him.

if your going to call it in the 1st quarter, you must call it in the 4th quarter.
i think it was a foul but the SPurs didn't deserve to win that game to begin with
-
i hate joel , i always wondered what happened to Paul Sunderland, i like him.
Paul was cool, too...I wouldn't have minded keeping him. Joel is a pro, though. Dude knows his shit and can definitely call a game.
-
i hate joel , i always wondered what happened to Paul Sunderland, i like him.
Paul was too much of a homer for my taste. Comparing Kobe to MLK on MLK day... come on. I haven't heard Joel 'cause I've moved full time, but Paul was too much of a homer.
-
^I dunno, Paul seemed to have more of a passion for the Lakers. I thought he had that Chickesque style of calling a game, as well. I mean, no one could compare to Chick, but he had the same steez. Joel is more objective. You can tell he loves the Lakers as well, but he shows his love on a more professional level. I like them both in different ways. Put it this way- If you have League Pass, you LOVE Joel. LOL.
-
Yeah that is true. I don't like Joel Meyers but after hearing other teams announcers I really appreciate the un-unbiasedness.
-
Joel Meyers is actually the idealistic, textbook play-by-play commenator. Calls the game with each detail on the court, and without any bias at all. My only thing against him is the same as everyone else's... he just sounds boring.
I would definitely like him to commentate for the national broadcasts to eliminate bias, but not so much for the local Laker ones. Paul Sunderland just sounded way more excited to watch Laker games than Joel did.

I would definitely like him to commentate for the national broadcasts to eliminate bias, but not so much for the local Laker ones. Paul Sunderland just sounded way more excited to watch Laker games than Joel did.
I actually think he has stepped his excitement levels up this season...Actually, there were times where I thought his excitement level was over-the-top. Shit like, "Lakers ONLY down by 14!!"...LOL.

Damn, we've played like shit this series. Fuckit, game 5 can still change the series. If we can pull out the victory the series does change quite a bit. Itll be tough, Im sure the Lakers will come out strong. The home crowd will have them pumped. If we keep it close into the second half we can take it.

Wow what a fugly start. Lakers are playin like crap and the refs are goin for every Spurs flop.
-
haha the spurs should kill themselves, they have been giving up HUGE leads against us.
