I wish someone got in their faces a little bit. After such a pathetic effort I didn't like watching Lamar smiling on the bench.

Odom and Gasol had plenty of high percentage shots, they just got to make them.

Spurs shot extremely well tonight.

I expect Fisher to have a bounce back game. Pau really needs to step it up and Odom needs to get back to taking advantage of his matchups. I think the Spurs just had a sigh of relief that they're not gonna get swept. Game 4 is gonna be huge in deciding whether this young Laker team can develop that killer instinct.

This is no aberration.


Either is the Spurs bouncing back! Game 4 will be a war as Kobe will bring it all that game.


this fool is back .... where were you in game 2


That fool should be banned. What a (bleep) moron.


It seems the cockroaches have come back out. Amazing that they wait until there's a 20 point lead with 2-3 minutes left to rear their ugly heads.


He was more careful this time! (bleep) douchebag

I don't know about killer instinct. Do you really think Gasol and Lamar can develop that? It's not like they're rookies.

When you don't have it you just don't have it.

You're right... It was when there was about a minute left when he appeared.

Spurs have become a 3p shooting team.


and we want them to play that way. % for those shots won't be that high at the end of a tight game. we've got to cut down on their lane incursions and keep the game close at the end of the game to have a chance to steal 1.

now it's up to the coaching staff to make the right adjustments (plays & rotations) for the next game.

Yeah, Lamar and Gasol missed a bunch of layups, but considering their height it's a sin to not be able to take HARD to the hoop and at least get fouled.

That I will never understand. That tells me they're soft. My opinion.

Manu was huge tonight. He gave Spurs the much needed lift. Kudos to him. Hope we can contain him better next game.

The adjustments by the Spurs:
- Play one-on-one defense at every position
- Give Kobe room to make him a jump shooter. He may score, but no assists
- Give Odom room to make him a jump shooter
- Play tight on Fisher. Since he's a jump shooter, he's not effective

The key is that Pau has to punish the one-on-one and Odom has to bury the medium J.

We have to move a ton more both with the ball and without. We allowed the D to take us out of our game as opposed to adjust and attack.

Odom and Fish are the keys. They have decent games and we're tied with the Spurs.

Manu and Parker finally showed up, he killed us in the beginning with those threes.

Well learn from this game, and the Spurs won't shoot this well again. Only a day between games will be a big factor in this game. If we don't get it done tomorrow, we'll get it done in 6.

Let's go LAKERS!!!

Why didn't Odom just dunk the balls when he was right under the baskets?

Marv Albert has been annoying....."Kobe not a factore in the 1st half?"


That made no sense. He was the main and often the only factor tonight.

We were playing well in the beginning. Then Ginobili came on and was unstoppable. Add to that Lamar missing lay up after lay up and 5 freethrows missed and that's when they got the lead.

great point made by Kenny.

The Lakers have been down by 20 points in two games thus far. That's a big worry.

Happy Memorial Day guys.

I pray that the Lakers give us a much better effort the next game or I honestly believe we're in trouble.

No the 1st game was meaningless. The Lakers had a lot of rust to shake off and SAS was in rhythm for their Game 7.

Do you realize that the Spurs can win every home game and lose?

When you don't have it you just don't have it.


Odumb is too busy worrying about where his next bong hit is coming from.
