Title: Question for Laker fans
Post by: .:DaYg0sTyLz:. on April 04, 2011, 10:14:08 AM
This would apply to Spurs fans as well, but Im the only Spurs fan on here...so no need to ask.

I'm sure Spurs fans AND Laker fans would prefer to have the #1 seed in the West. BUT, whoever has the #1 seed will more than likely play OKC in the second round. Of course I'd rather us lock up homecourt throughout the playoffs...but I'd also rather play Dallas in the second round.

So for you Laker fans, would you rather the team really push to try and catch the Spurs....and get the #1 spot. Or maybe give a little rest to some starters and take the #2 seed...seeing as how Dallas looks like the easier second round matchup.

i was happy to see the spurs slumpin', so dallas might get em in the second round and not the bitch ass lakers. either way, butler is a liar and won't be able to perform in the playoffs. i have no high hopes.

Spurs and Lakers shouldn't be worried about playing OKC ... they're a tough team but not a serious contender ... they're better defensively since they acquired Perkins but they got worse offensively , they're basically playing 3 vs 5 on offense as you can help of Thabo and Perk , Ibaka offense is improving but he's no stud either .... you can focus on KD and RW , of course both very talented players but it won't be enough down the stretch

I think SAS would have more pb with Dallas than with OKC ... it's the contrary for LA but I don't see OKC  winning at Staples whereas
we have proven we are capable to win big games on the road

The Thunder is tough to beat at home though since the amount of Fts they get is disgusting ...

and I got a question for you Daygo : why Pop refuses to play Splitter and keep playing weak ass Bonner who is a terrible defensive player ?  :grumpy:... I really don't care how efficiently he can hit the 3

Believe me, check out any Spurs forum..and you will see the same question. Bonner is a huge liability on D and the boards. Most Spurs forums are full of hatred towards Bonner lol. As for Splitter, Pop has always been funny about playing rookies too much. Our system sometimes takes veterans a whole year to adapt to, plus rookies tend to pick up a lot of ticky tack fouls. But I think most Spurs fans would like to see Splitter out there more. Dejuan Blair is a good hustle guy, but he just wont have the height to guard Bynum or Gasol if we meet up with the Lakers. McDyess is still a decent contributor, but he is older and still doesnt have Splitters size.

The only rationalization I can make for Bonner getting so many minutes is this. The Spurs have guards that like to penetrate. Parker, Ginobli, Hill. And even Jefferson who is a slasher that we just turned into a three point shooter. When you have Bonner on the floor, a big has to guard him. He can stretch the defense and make a big either leave the lane to guard him at the 3-point line (opening things up for our guards)...or give him a wide open 3. The problem is though, this means we have to score a lot of points.

Id like to see Splitter in the starting lineup with Duncan. We can go small with the second unit and use these guys as an energy group with Hill, Neal, Blair, Bonner, Mcdyess.

Oh, and I want them to get this Ryan Richards kid from England up to speed and maybe even on the roster next year.

OKC can get 3rd too

i think it doesnt matter, all the 8 teams in the west are tough teams so u gotta beat the best to win it all anyways doesnt matter how easy the route is.  So u have to push for #1 to get home court advantage all the way thru to the finals.

1. Spurs
2. Lakers
3. Mavs
4. Thunder
5. Nuggets

that is pretty evident by now.

Lakers vs. Mavs could be a classic, but I'm afraid the Lakers will take it in 6 or maybe even 5 games.

Yeah, I have been pulling for OKC to get that third spot. Id rather see the Mavs in the second round. But I think the seedings are pretty set right now.

I'm starting to believe the Mavs are now willing to get the 4th seed lol. Which is gangsta. They are unlikely to play Thunder anyways. They don't have homecourt advantage against the Lakers or Spurs anyways. They suck against Portland and Denver equally. So who gives a shit? Just fuck it, and play the Spurs in the 2nd round instead of the Lakers. Everybody is happy, including the Spurs.

I want the Mavs. They are unravelling. If they slip to 4 they may very well lose to the nuggets

Yeah, but they could lose to Portland, too. Even Memphis is not THAT bad right now.

Considering how the Lakers are sucking dick right now, they might lose to OKC and SA, then fall to 3rd again. That'd be the shit.

^^^^ Memphis is a tough matchup , they have played great lately , very good combo in the paint , great D on the perimeter... too bad Gay is out for the season ... the only easy team is NO ... Mavs are going to suffer if they face the Blazers , fortunately for you Blazes suck on the road but I don't see the Mavs winning at the RG either ... Mavs in 7

after the denver loss, we already lost our shot at the 1st seed..the golden state and utah games were pretty meaningless, and we didn't give a fuck about the portland match-up, because if we win that game, we face portland in the first round...we lose, we face new orleans. now go figure why lakers looked like they weren't tryin.

if lakers lose, they play new orleans without d-west. if they win, they play the blazers, a team which matches up against us much better and a team in which we have only taken the season series from three times in the last 20+ years...if u cant make sense out of that, then u are even dumber than i though, chinkboy.

lol The Lakers arent locked into any spot. They are just locked out of the #1 spot. But SOMEhow they knew that ONE loss to the Blazers a few days ago would guarantee they wouldnt face them in the first round. When there is not even a guarantee on that, with 2 games left lol Pretty pathetic argument for anyone to say they arent trying, so that they can avoid Portland. They are just losing, period. It happens. And if my team was tanking it to avoid another team....Id be embarrassed.

Funniest thing is, they might get the Blazers or even Memphis (who are even better at the moment) regardless. If they keep losing (just to avoid the Blazers, of course), they might even get Denver lmfao. Go Spurs, handle the slumping Lakers, so they can avoid the Blazers and lose homecourt in the second round  8)

Lakers are not tanking , they're just losing games... it happens to every team 


the pb is this team as well as Phil is too cocky and overconfident ... why the hell are you not even trying (read resting the key players too much) to secure the 2nd spot  against the D-League version of the Jazz and the Warriors ?

 Now they put them in a situation they don't have any choice  to win the last two games ... they played with effort against the Thunder but they fucked up in the last 2 mins of the game and Phil played the 2nd unit way too many minutes ... again

I'm not worried about the playoffs , the only thing I will remember from this 5 games losing streak is we lost HCA against the Heat .. if it comes back to bite us in June , this team couldn't blame anything but itself

Ive said it a million times tho man, Phil is overrated. He has just been blessed with very good talent. He doesnt even manage players minutes well. Its good to rest your key players, especially coming down the stretch here. But there are times and places to do it. A lot of Laker fans have been saying the Spurs are gonna burn out because they have been playing at a high level since game 1. But look how Popovich has managed his players minutes ALL season long. Thats how you do it. Duncan is playing career lows in minutes during the regular season. Mcdyess has been rested a ton. Ginobli. Even Parker.

Im not sure how much the Spurs will really put out there tonight against the Lakers. So LA still has a good shot to win its last two. We want to get that #1 seed overall still, over the Bulls. But I dont know if Pop will be willing to really let his players go to war tonight, considering the Lakers need this game and will come to play...and we dont really need it.

Just because your older players are playing LESS minutes, doesnt necessarily mean their minutes are being managed well. As far as Parker and Ginobli, thats a little misleading considering they dealt with all year last year.

I like when Laker fans come to Phils defense so quickly, but then if I were to say Phil is the reason for the championships, they will instead come to Kobe's defense. Like Ive said before, the first three titles in LA with Phil...Shaqs team. These last two, Kobe. Phil has just been along for the ride.

Both Parker and Ginobli have played more mpg this season than they did last year.

Just because your older players are playing LESS minutes, doesnt necessarily mean their minutes are being managed well. As far as Parker and Ginobli, thats a little misleading considering the injuries they dealt with all year last year.

I like when Laker fans come to Phils defense so quickly, but then if I were to say Phil is the reason for the championships, they will instead come to Kobe's defense. Like Ive said before, the first three titles in LA with Phil...Shaqs team. These last two, Kobe. Phil has just been along for the ride.
You can say that about any coach. Pop had Duncan, Pat had Magic, Red had Russell.

You could. But I didnt hear Laker fans (or any fans for that matter) lining up to praise Phil when he was the coach of the Bulls. It was Jordans team. Remember how everyone would say that Jordan was the real coach of those teams? That Jordan was running the show? Then when Phil becomes the Lakers coach, every Laker fan all of a sudden changes their tune about Phil...but still somehow likes to try and compare Kobe to Jordan lol If Phil wasnt even running the show in Chicago, but has to be this AMAZING....GOAT coach in LA with Kobe, what does that say about Kobe? You cant play both sides of the fence. I think if you put Phil on a bad team, he would be a bad coach. In his situation, I give more credit to the players on the court. Shaq, Kobe, etc are the ones responsible for these championships....not Phil and his highchair.

Lakers are not tanking , they're just losing games... it happens to every team 


the pb is this team as well as Phil is too cocky and overconfident ... why the hell are you not even trying (read resting the key players too much) to secure the 2nd spot  against the D-League version of the Jazz and the Warriors ?

 Now they put them in a situation they don't have any choice  to win the last two games ... they played with effort against the Thunder but they fucked up in the last 2 mins of the game and Phil played the 2nd unit way too many minutes ... again

I'm not worried about the playoffs , the only thing I will remember from this 5 games losing streak is we lost HCA against the Heat .. if it comes back to bite us in June , this team couldn't blame anything but itself

Ive said it a million times tho man, Phil is overrated. He has just been blessed with very good talent. He doesnt even manage players minutes well. Its good to rest your key players, especially coming down the stretch here. But there are times and places to do it. A lot of Laker fans have been saying the Spurs are gonna burn out because they have been playing at a high level since game 1. But look how Popovich has managed his players minutes ALL season long. Thats how you do it. Duncan is playing career lows in minutes during the regular season. Mcdyess has been rested a ton. Ginobli. Even Parker.

Im not sure how much the Spurs will really put out there tonight against the Lakers. So LA still has a good shot to win its last two. We want to get that #1 seed overall still, over the Bulls. But I dont know if Pop will be willing to really let his players go to war tonight, considering the Lakers need this game and will come to play...and we dont really need it.
Fisher: playing least amount of mpg since 03-04
Kobe: playing least amount of mpg since being a starter
Gasol: playing least amount of mpg since his first year with the Lakers

The Bulls had the GOAT and a deep roseter. The Lakers 3peat team wasn't as talented as the 90s Bulls, so I think that's why Phil gets more credit for the Lakers success. It's the same with the current team. He took a team that hadn't even make the playoffs and now they are trying to go for yet another 3peat. Every stint, the team he takes over is weaker and weaker, but Phil keeps keeps on finding ways to win championships. Keep in mind Phil was able to get 55 wins out of the Bulls in 1994 and almost made the ECF without Jordan.
