Making our case.

Wow, Powell. I didn’t realize you were such a politics junkie.

Nice, I like it.

You just have to get everyone who said “Spurs will win Game 2” to write “I was wrong” on the chalkboard 200 times.

i thought jazz fans are crazy but nothing tops this one.

when does the price of gas, latte sipping, hardworking, etc… got to do with your team bending over???

i agree that there are a lot of millionaires as fans of the lakers but they worked hard to earn those.

the games in LA doesnt count??? seriously dude this is a series. cant you understand that?

just because it’ll be a sunday its fair already?

geez nobody’s saying it’s over because WE LAKER FANS know that THIS IS A BEST OF 7 SERIES wherein we must win 4 before we could say its over.

if your team cant beat LA then how come your team is way better to match up with the east??? aren’t we all western conference fans know that the east is weak???

i didn’t know that this was NO & LA vs. SPURS series. must be a new format….

against white players… last time i watched its like we have farmar, walton, carl, mihm, radman, pau, sasha as players. you, you got only brent barry.who hardly even plays, oberto, bonner and manu. how did us lakers cracking up against white people? THERE ARE MORE COLORED PLAYER IN YOUR TEAM THAN OURS! i cant believe you didn’t see that before making such racist comments.

hardworking players? we limited your FG’s, we played both ends of the court. your team didn’t. how in the world does your team qualified as more hardworking than hours?

assassination? you’ll go that far huh… your sick…. this is basketball dude, not a life & death situation unless you betted your whole savings on your team in game 2 then i’ll understand your way of thinking.

seriously dude, this is just a game! GET YOUR HEAD FIX!

game 1 was lost due to bad calls, fatigue, finger nails and champion air.

game 2 was lost because david stern said so.

when do we need to elect a WC team to the finals??? this is basketball, they play not campaign for scores.

reality check LA 2 – SA 0

what about game 4? its a working day….

your the craziest , one sided person ever!

admit your team is down two zip and thats it.

the problem of the SPERMS recently is not fatigue, they certainly didn’t stop on trying i’d give them A+ on that!

yup they tried and tried to penetrate successfully BUT IT WAS THE WRONG HOLE….

pop should re-orient them on fundamentals 101…

Laker fans can be so fucking annoying.

Laker fans are great, idiots are annoying, learn the difference.

The epitome of a Lakers fan is burning cars when they won a championship

It was a depressing game. Whatever.

We’ll be back for game 3. Win that, then win 4, and then 2 more, and we have this series. As CMoney would say, it’s not winning 4 games, it’s winning one, then another, then another, and finally one more. I say it’s 50-50.

I’m going to watch games 3 and 4 with full confidence in our guys. They were in this hole just last series, and they proved stronger than most of us gave them credit for. Manu worries me, because it’s obvious he’s injured, but the team will have to use the crowd to work around that.

Go Spurs, dammit. We can do this.

And their outrageous, uninformed articles

Spurs in 6 bitches!!!!

We got this shit!!

..Is my reaction to some of these responses. In any event, the Spurs definitely face 2 must wins. I do have to admit that the Lakers were impressive last night though. That Lamar Odom that played last night, is the one that is the matchup nightmare. Dude was nasty last night. Oberto, bless his heart…..How many easy ass shots did he miss? Wow, is all I can say about last night. The Spurs know what time it is though, no excuses, just keep pounding that rock.

and not even I would compare the spurs to hillary clinton.

with manu (argentina), duncan (virgin islands), parker (france), oberto (somewhere that ain’t the U.S.), this teams is filled with everything but white players. finley and horry and jacque vaughn are african-americans. not as sexy as white working class uneducated voters in kentucky and west virginia that voted for hillary. but that’s not who the spurs are. the lakers seem like they have more white players than the spurs.

but if this was a satire, then it was pretty ingenius. kinda funny too.

i can dig it.

as for the series, don’t worry. the spurs, as much as i would like them to, are not going down without a fight and wouldn’t be surprised if this series wasn’t tied 2-2 heading into game 5. just ask the hornets who that “spurs are too old” tallk worked out for them.

go lakers!

seriously, golf clap

When I was in high school, we read Jonathan Swift’s “A Modest Proposal,” in which he satirically advocates the eating of poor Irish babies to relieve the potato famine. My girlfriend at the time wrote a paper about it stating basically “this is disgusting, this writer clearly has no morals, etc.” So the satire went straight over her head. I should have broken up with her on the spot, on grounds of her being extremely dense.

I can’t believe how many people did not get Powell’s post. For those who are not yet clued in: Powell is saying that like Hillary, the Spurs are done, and all excuses aside, we need to accept it and move on.

I hate to say I’m inclined to agree. The last time I thought “oh, sh**, this team is better than we are” was in the 2005 Finals. In that instance, we only needed to win 2 out of 4 games, with two at home, and the Spurs squeaked two out and won the title. This time it’s different: the Spurs need to win 4 out of 5 against a team that appears to be at least a little bit better, and possibly a lot better.

That said, we’ve seen examples in playoffs past of teams getting hammered, and coming back: the “Memorial Day Massacre” where Boston beat LA by like 40 in Boston Garden, for example. Hakeem’s Rockets losing twice by large margins to Barkley’s Suns. Of all those, the most heartening example is Hakeem’s Rockets. It seemed plainly obvious at the time that the Rockets were at the end of their road and that the Suns were the better team. But the Rockets won a game, and then another, and got back in the series.

I have to say I have my doubts this time. Regardless, I’ll support my guys. Go Spurs Go!
