The Spurs showed heart to not get blown out of the water and to fight like they did anyway. And I have to post this some where. Tim Duncan. Was he not a beast last night? I know he didn’t have his usual clutchtastic play in the 4th, but he was battling so hard on the boards last night. For all the talk about how bad Kobe wants another ring, check out #21. He wants #5 people, and he wants it bad.

I believe. (Despite still being pissed off as hell that we blew a 20 point lead. Put it this way, I woke up pissed off.)
Duncan looked great out there last night. His midrange jumper and follow up late in the 4th coupled with a number of clutch defensive rebounds really impressed me. I like the Spurs role players to rebound in Game 2 and I’m seeing monster games for TP and Gino now that we see how Odom/Gasol are going to play it.
On a side note: I would not want to piss Gino off, that’s for sure. I thought I felt bad until I saw his post game interview.

I can’t imagine how much BS you would be spewing if you guys actually won. My god I didn’t realize that going up 20 in game 1 means that you will do it every game. Thank god that must also mean we will come back to beat you each game too. It is amazing that everything we did good was an anomaly and everything you guys did bad was one too. I am scared shitless now. I can’t imagine how badly you are going to beat us in game 2. The funny thing is no matter what happens in Game 2 I expect the same stuff from you guys. Either see I told you so or who cares we lost the first two in NO and look what happened.

Boy you are testy tonight. If you pay attention, the fair criticism, open dialogue, objective analysis comes out of me when I comment on fair, logical, and objective posts. When somebody babbles crap then I respond in kind. Sorry, that is just the way it is. It is called illustrating absurdity by being absurd. And if you want to “weed out and ignore” that is your right, but I call ‘em like I see ‘em good or bad.

Actually I don’t see any homerism in my post at all. Maybe anti-roaderism, but not homerism at all. And if you want sheer homerism, just look at the top of this page.

I mean correction accepted. I had no idea demons were pack animals, my bad.

IF we had pulled that win outta our butts, then you’d most likely hear more of “Lakers in 5? Um, NO!” and laughing in general at the predictions made pre-Game 1 by the Laker guys here….we are hard-core blind homers here, and not bandwagon fans. It is amusing as well (to me, since I’m still relatively new…found this and started reading during the Pheonix series) the level of superstition here. But that’s all just GREAT!! because it shows the dedication of these fans to thier team, the San Antonio Spurs. You feel the same way about your Los Angeles Lakers as well, I should hope.

In doing so, we are critiquing, analyzing, and wondering aloud what exactly went wrong, and as fans, the LAST thing we want to do ever is say “welp, that’s it, our team sucked, we lost, we’re done” before…what was it…one sports guy said it best …Ah! “I will stop betting on the Spurs when I see Eva comforting a crying-his-butt-off Tony Parker, Tim Duncan getting ready to load up on D&D, and Manu gearing up for his Olympic run because they finally realize it’s over.”

No we don’t believe that going up in Game 1 by 20 means we’ll do it every game. I honestly expect Kobe to be like “oh hell no” and personally take control of Game 2 at a much earlier time than with 5 min left in the 3rd and his team down by double digits again. If ONE…JUST ONE…other Spur is on than just Tim and Tony, then poof whatever Kobe does, it’s too little, too late. He knows that, we know that, everyone knows that. I expect it to be a well fought game with the outcome decided in the last few minutes, not with one side figuring the outcome is done 1/2 way through the 3rd quarter. Last game Kobe was on, Pau got on fire late, Vuljacic was on, Radmanovic was on(they went away from him…stupid on the Lakers part), Turiaf (defensively) was on….for the Spurs, really only Tim and Tony were on. Double Tim, close the lane for Tony, and poof, there you have it, the Spurs were stopped a LOT of times, because no one or thier grandmother that didn’t have the names Duncan or Parker on thier jerseys could shoot something that went in the net. Not even Ginobili :(

Yet we did have that 20 pt. lead, and we only lost by 4. If Ginobili’s 3 went in….hell if ANYTHING Finley did was good, then we’d be talking about a monumental win in LA in Game 1. It only takes 1 other Spur …. so we are hoping we get that :)

haha, i wrote this over coffee and a beautiful morning. i had no idea pslakerfan would be so compelled to “objection sir!!!” my comment. i wrote my thoughts based on a foolish article written prematurely, in my opinion. hmmm… my opinion. i love the free world. i also love that pslakerfan decided to join in on the fun.

this is a note to you sir, just remember, you are a guest here and before you walk in here high and mighty spitting fire like the troll you are, you should take off your shoes first because the carpet here is nice. we like to keep things tidy. do your part and be kind… now go get the broom dick.

If you want troll-juice Moognish, just read anything on ESPN or CNNSI….ugh.

Pslakerfan and Amazing, et. al (except for that Truthsquad person) have been anything BUT trolls….I really enjoy talking to them all, they are exceptional for Laker fans. If anything, pslakerfan doesn’t like to play the “what if” game…but sadly that’s all we have really here on the blog atm… :/

noted.
